Fourteen weeks


During week 14 the baby is now around 3.5 inches, weighs around 1.5 ounces and is about the size of a lemon; which is a bit disappointing as I have defiantly gained more than 1.5 ounces in weight!  This week the baby will be busy moving around and could even be sucking its thumb. 

Mommy on the other hand did not have a great week.  I spent Monday, Tuesday and part or Wednesday very close to the bathroom.  It could have been, either pregnancy nausea, or I caught some type of sickness: the Doctor was fairly sure that it was just a bout of sickness, and as my appetite returned on Thursday, it appears I got off fairly lightly.   I have no idea how other mothers-to-be can go through weeks and weeks of nausea when I could barely handle three days!  I spent the time eating saltine crackers, peppermint candy, and drinking mint tea, which is not the diet I had envisaged feeding my little alien! 

The week 14 photo was taken at Adrienne’s baby-shower and has a few additional pregnant family members. From left to right Me (14 weeks), Adrienne (25 weeks), Rachel (16 weeks), and Shannon (35 weeks).  



It was a beautiful shower with fun games, great food, and even better company.  The one thing the shower did make me realize is just how much stuff you need for a baby!  Time to start planning what I need…
