Ok, 14 weeks and 2 days now, but close enough!
This week, the baby is about the size of a lemon! I can't believe a lemon is in my stomach somewhere. How weird?! The baby can now squint, frown, pee and even suck his thumb. His little body is finally growing faster then his head, and by the end of the week his arms will be in proportion with the rest of his body. I can't believe how fast he is actually growing.
We have a Doctor's appointment on Friday. I love having these appoints because I can see or hear the heartbeat and it makes me feel better since I can't feel him moving yet, but I still hate waiting. I think if my BP is up this time, I am going to say something about making me wait so long. I mean really, who waits 45 minutes to have a finger prick done?
Meanwhile, we set the appointment to find out the sex of the baby! On December 2, I have to have a Level 2 ultrasound down, and the lady told me that we can find out then, since I will be around 20 weeks - as long as the little pumpkin cooperates!
I am still feeling good. My normal clothes still fit, but I did have to break down and buy a belly band. Basically it is a stretch piece of fabric that lets me unbutton my pants and still wear them. I had to! My dress pants for work were starting to hurt my stomach when I sat down! Ahhhh.
Have a great week! I, will be mourning my Phillies loss and looking forward to our Friday appointment!

You need to come up with a nickname to call the baby. My parent's called me ziggy. My friend Erin called one baby peanut and the other baby melon. Maybe pumpkin is your nickname. Then you can just call it pumpkin and not worry about he or she. :) Glad you have a lemon in your belly!
