Week 14

So I have made it to the 2nd Trimester! Yay! I'm excited to soon feel even more stretching in my uterus and maybe the baby kicking or something.  I heard that you can feel the baby as early as 14 weeks, although that usually doesn't happen for a first pregnancy but I'm still crossing my fingers. The baby is starting to pee thus making the amniotic fluid. The baby is also making Lenugo, the fur the baby will be in until it is born to keep it warm and to protect it from all of the fluid that it will live in for a while. The baby is the size of a lemon and the 3.5 inches long and 1.5 oz. It is making breathing movements which is cool but it still remains a mystery on how the little suction they do after the birth prepares the baby to breath. It's like we are fishes that can handle water in our lungs until we are born. As well as the lenugo the hair on the babies head and eyebrows are developing. I bet my baby will have a ton of dark thick hair like I did when I was a baby. But there is a chance that the baby will be bald because the Stotts babies all have been bald lol.  My uterus weighs 8.75 oz, 7.5 oz of fluid,  and I can feel my uterus about 3 inches below my belly button. :). Today I had a doctors appointment and it was pretty short. They took a urine sample to test the protein and sugar in it, weighed me, and we heard the heartbeat through my belly with this little device. My next check up is Sept 12 and we find out the gender 2 weeks later! Lately my body has been really tired as usual and I get dizzy a lot and headaches. Fun stuff! All for the baby!
