Better view of baby- legs are up!!


Baby scratching her face!

Apparently I was not meant to be a blogger, because I don't really enjoy all that much and I am not very good at keeping up with it. But we can just blame it on my may-mester class that has taken over my life! Thankfully only 4 more days!
But at 14 weeks baby is doing great and baby's big developments: Your baby can now squint, frown, grimace, urinate, and possibly suck his/her thumb! Thanks to brain impulses, her facial muscles are getting a workout as her tiny features form one expression after another. her kidneys are producing urine, which she releases into the amniotic fluid around him (which I find disgusting by the way) — a process that will keep up until birth. She can grasp, too, and if you're having an ultrasound now, you may even catch her sucking her thumb. In other news: Your baby's stretching out. From head to bottom, she measures 3 1/2 inches — about the size of a lemon — and she weighs 1 1/2 ounces. His/her body's growing faster than her head, which now sits upon a more distinct neck. By the end of this week, her arms will have grown to a length that's in proportion to the rest of her body. (Her legs still have some lengthening to do.) She's starting to develop an ultra-fine, downy covering of hair, called lanugo, all over her body. Your baby's liver starts making bile this week — a sign that it's doing its job right — and her spleen starts helping in the production of red blood cells. Though you can't feel her tiny punches and kicks yet, your little pugilist's hands and feet (which now measure about 1/2 inch long) are more flexible and active.
