Topic: Baby
It’s week fourteen already. I puked for the first time since becoming pregnant this morning, which is strange, considering that I didn’t get sick at all during the first trimester. I think it was also a combination of brushing my teeth and the lemonade I drank last night, though. =) On the bright side, I was able to go through the entire night without having to get up to pee last night!!!
According the week-by-week websites, I may be able to feel the small “flutter” of the baby moving, starting this week. So far, nothing… I also read that our baby is now probably about three-and-a-half inches long and weighs about two ounces. S/he’s beginning to practice inhaling and exhaling movements. The eyes and ears continue to move and develop, the neck is still getting longer, and the baby's chin no longer rests on his/her chest. The hands are becoming functional, and the baby is beginning to learn to move/use them (probably more reflex than anything). At this point, our little one is receiving all of his/her nourishment from the placenta.
