My Pregnancy: Week 14

Happy Presidents Day! We have just begun week 14. These next couple weeks are "supposedly" the more quiet ones during the pregnancy. The next big week is 20. So many exciting things happen then..the biggest is that we get to find out what the gender is! So, only a month and a half till then! I am getting so antsy!!

The development of our little Exhibit A is definitely exciting. This week the roof of the mouth will be forming along with little hairs all over the body. These hairs serve as insulation until the baby's fat shows up. When it does, the hair is usually shed....if not, Kevin will be assigned baby shaving duty. The movement of the baby typically at this stage changes from sharp jerky movements to smooth and fluid like motions, but I think the baby already had that down when we had the ultrasound. The baby is a quick learner.

As for me, I feel great! I'm not near as tired, and I can eat most things. As I said last week, the pressure is growing in my stomach...and I can't button my jeans anymore. I'm trying to hold off on maternity clothes, and with some good advice from others I have learned to rubber band my button :)

Kevin's fun fact: Ashley sleepwalks and has "active dreams". She woke me up once saying "Kevin, say hi to the boy in the corner.". Long story short, she is the creepiest Preggo EVER.
