14 weeks!!

OMG... 14 weeks?? well, 14 weeks 3 days to be precise, but I thought I'd keep my weekly updates to the weekends as I've been doing so far.

So I have a noticeable bump now, but I still don't think I *look* pregnant... if you didn't know I am, you probably wouldn't guess. It definately looks bigger from my looking-down point of view!! Friday & Saturday were quite tough going for me. I felt pretty awful and a general feeling of unsettledness that I couldn't quite describe. I'm unsure if it was stress related... who knows! I feel a little better today, although my tummy still has the unsettled/indigestion type feeling. At least I'm actually feeling hungry today and not nauseated.

I'm still loving the doppler! Hubby listened this morning but he says it's too freaky

And so, for baby... Can't call him/her Jellybean anymore... perhaps Jellybaby??

Isn’t it glorious? You and your little buckaroo have roped your way right into trimester numero dos! Are you ready to rock!? Okay, okay… maybe just a little rolling and poking. Needless to say, your baby will definitely be making themselves known in the upcoming weeks. At about 3.5 inches long, their little body and limber limbs are coordinated enough for loads of complicated motions. In fact, their whole body is moving right now! You're not feeling it because their current size is still a bit too small to make an impact you'd recognize. Still, their movements are recognizable on an ultrasound. Speaking of which, you shoud be scheduling one with your health care provider! Week 16 is the classic date as you can usually determine whether your little one is going to pee standing up or sitting down. Your baby is also starting to develop the ability to move their eyes this week, although the eyelids still remain fused shut. What's more, they can make all sorts of fun facial expressions as they practice squinting, frowning, and grimacing. Cute development of the week: their little hands can grasp at things and they may already be sucking their thumb!
