14 Weeks

Well, I'm officially in the second trimester! Baby is 3 1/2 inches long (about the size of a lemon) and weighs about 1 1/2 ounces. Baby can now frown, squint, and pee-probably all at once! Baby can grasp and even possibly suck its thumb! Amazing when you think about how big baby really is. Baby's, which is now affectionately referred to as Nutter Butter (the size of the baby last week), organs are continuing to develop and the body is becoming more in proportion, the head is now just a third the size of the body and the arms are lengthening.

I'm still feeling okay, yet I'm still throwing up every week to 10 days. It's coming without the nausea though so it's much, much better. It will just come out of nowhere and there's no holding back, trust me, I try. But I can deal with it. I continue to have heartburn but not quite as bad as before. I actually ate Mexican today and this time did not need to eat any Tums for dessert. I've been getting a few headaches, but I'm not sure if they're those pregnancy headaches I hear about or just from the heat. I'm going to up my fluid intake to see if that helps. Other than that, I am starting to get some energy. My belly is growing, which I love, and I am living in sweatpants and gym shorts, courtesy of Michael. I'm not quite big enough for maternity and will live in these clothes until I can upgrade. I cannot wait to feel the baby and often I lay down real still and just to see if I can feel anything. I hope I will know it's little Nutter and not just gas when the time comes.
