14 Week Belly Pic and How Big is Baby?

Yes, I know I'm late on this one... and I skipped last week. Oh well. Sometimes, life gets in the way.

How far along? 14 weeks

Total weight gain: I haven't weighed in a few days, but last time I did it was minus 12.

Sleep: I wake up in the wee hours to pee and I've figured out that sleeping on my back is causing these "headaches"

Best moment this week: Really being able to feel my uterus... hearing baby on the doppler.

Gender: My intuition says girl.

Labor Signs: None.

Cravings: Fresh things. Last night I wanted a hot dog, ate one bite and was done.

Belly Button in or out? In

What I miss: My husband. It's not baby related... just retail widow related.

Weekly Wisdom: Put your foot down when the lady at the doctor's office is mean to you.

Milestones: First tri is over!!! It felt like it'd never get here, but holy crap, when I look back it's flown by! We're going to need a diaper bag and crib before long! Oh yeah... and we've settled on names. I also told my students...

Your adorable little fetus is busy with thumb sucking, toe wiggling, and (not so cute but equally amazing) making urine and breathing amniotic fluid as the liver, kidneys and spleen continue to develop. Lanugo (thin, downy hair) is growing all over the body for warmth.

As you move into the second trimester, baby shifts into the growth and maturation stage. After weeks in the critical development stage, almost all of baby's systems are fully formed.

Spotting... again

Woke up to a weird pain in my lower abdomen this morning. Went to pee and there was red blood... don't know if I should call the doctor or not... she said it's just from the hematoma...

I also puked again... only the second time. Not too bad for being 11 weeks.

Milestones: I threw up again this morning. Only the second time.

Your fetus currently enjoys a 1:1 ratio between body and head, and has skin so transparent that blood vessels show right through. But, fingers and toes are no longer webbed, and hair follicles, tooth buds and nail beds are forming -- setting up a significantly more attractive future.
