14 Weeks (and 2nd Trimester!)

We successfully made it past the most risky portion of fetal development. Which is to say, I can finally drink coffee again, praise the Good Lord. How happy the nearby Starbucks will be to see me back and spending my husband's hard-earned dollars on ooey-gooey eggnog lattes!

I feel the little beastie move around sometimes. It's still just light flutters. I can't wait for the good stuff, when the baby beats me and I can beat it back! (BEAT THE BABY!) I am officially in maternity wear and out of not maternity wear. Depressed as that makes me, it is really fun that my belly-button gets places before I do, and have I mentioned yet this pregnancy how much I love having boobs? Boobs are wonderful. All the trials of pregnancy are worth the 9 months of fantastic rackness. (I shall not yet speak of the sadness that awaits me in my post-nursing days.)

Wee Pea's current status:
  • Lanugo, the downy hair keeping it warm until just before birth, starts appearing this week
  • Baby practices facial expressions and gestures
  • Wee Pea sucks his/her thumb (we saw it on the US!)
  • The liver begins producing bile
  • Our baby officially has a neck. Sweet.
