week 14 and 15

week 14: lemon
Your adorable little fetus is busy with thumb sucking, toe wiggling, and (not so cute but equally amazing) making urine and breathing amniotic fluid as the liver, kidneys and spleen continue to develop. Lanugo (thin, downy hair) is growing all over the body for warmth.


week 15: orange

Continuing the march towards normal proportions, baby's legs now outmeasure the arms. And, finally, all four limbs have functional joints. Your fetus is squirming and wiggling like crazy down in the womb, though you probably still can't feel the movements.

Weeks 11-13

week 11: lime

Your fetus currently enjoys a 1:1 ratio between body and head, and has skin so transparent that blood vessels show right through. But, fingers and toes are no longer webbed, and hair follicles, tooth buds and nail beds are forming -- setting up a significantly more attractive future.


week 12: plum

As you move into the second trimester, baby shifts into the growth and maturation stage. After weeks in the critical development stage, almost all of baby's systems are fully formed.

week 13: peach

Your fetus is forming teeth and vocal cords... savor this, their non-functional phase. Baby is approaching normal proportions, with a head now only one third the size of the body. Intestines are in the process of moving from the umbilical cord to baby's tummy. (Much more convenient.)

God bless you, Citizens of Humanity!

so i decided to make a "splurge" purchase, and buy a nice pair of overly priced, designer maternity jeans. why? well, because i deserve it, right? shoot, i'm doing all the work over here!! and none of my pants fit me seeing as i'm already up 10lbs, so i had to find some jeans that flatter the ever-growing lady lumps (in the back and in the front - lol). so i went to nordstroms online, and made my purchase. a pair of citizens of humanity maternity jeans. i was so excited when they came in, and even more excited when i tried them on! i felt awesome! and they made my tush look like a baby pumpkin. definitely worth every penny i paid for them!! :)

Introducing Baby T

I know, I know, I suck at updating! :(

Well we had our u/s appt this morning. OMG, what a surreal experience! Dr said that baby looks healthy and everything looks great. Baby's heartbeat was 164 bpm. We got some really good pics. At one point we were able to see baby dancing around (or flopping like a fish - it all looks the same at that size). I think that was the freakiest moment. I definitely felt like I was acting out a scene of the movie "Alien." And it was so weird that I couldn't feel any movement, but of course it's only 4 cm big, so I'm sure it's hard to feel anything moving that is that big.

Here are some of the pics we got today:
