14 weeks

14 weeks baby baum #2

okay, so here is my 14 week baby belleh.  

yes indeed, i am aware that it is quite the belly.  in fact, so much of a belly that i am almost exclusively in maternity clothes.  

even the bella band isn't cutting it these days.  

just for kicks, i dug through some old pictures of my pregnancy the first time around and found my 14 week bump pic for comparison.

i really can't get over the difference.  

i had heard that most women poke out there faster the second time around, but really, that much faster?  

i don't think i looked this pregnant until about 22 weeks last time.   

which really just makes me fear wonder what i will look like at 22 weeks this time......or better yet, 40 (if i can actually make it that far!)

so our little itty bitty (or not so itty bitty it would seem) is roughly the size of a lemon, weighing in around 1.5 ounces and measuring 3.5 inches in length.  this week's big accomplishments include the newly acquired abilities to squint, frown, grimace, pee and even  suck his/her thumb.   it is doing lots of moving around, and i am hoping we will get a chance to see lots of that at my ultrasound this friday afternoon.  ;)
