Well its been another week and it seems as if things are going well. Since I can’t seem to fall asleep I thought I would post a quick update about week 14. Quoted From Baby center
*The baby is now the size of a lemon
How your baby’s growing:
This week’s big developments: Your baby can now squint, frown, grimace, pee, and possibly suck his thumb! Thanks to brain impulses, his facial muscles are getting a workout as his tiny features form one expression after another. His kidneys are producing urine, which he releases into the amniotic fluid around him — a process he’ll keep up until birth. He can grasp, too, and if you’re having an ultrasound now, you may even catch him sucking his thumb.
In other news: Your baby’s stretching out. From head to bottom, he measures 3 1/2 inches — about the size of a lemon — and he weighs 1 1/2 ounces. His body’s growing faster than his head, which now sits upon a more distinct neck. By the end of this week, his arms will have grown to a length that’s in proportion to the rest of his body. (His legs still have some lengthening to do.) He’s starting to develop an ultra-fine, downy covering of hair, called lanugo, all over his body. Your baby’s liver starts making bile this week — a sign that it’s doing its job right — and his spleen starts helping in the production of red blood cells. Though you can’t feel his 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.
Other Updates:
Cravings: CHEESE!! string cheese, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, cream cheese… you get the point 
Fruit: Grapes and berries really, smoothies and shakes, though haven’t sent justin out to get me any.. YET!..
Potatoes: Mostly still just tater totts
Feeling: Still getting my energy back, and now I am done with my photo jobs until the beginning of August! I am preparing to go on a long trip back to WA which I am very excited for. I will try to keep up with the blog, though I can’t make any promises! Justin and I are both thankful for our neighbors who are watching our house for us, though Justin will be here almost the whole time.
Fun gifts: I have been collecting all the cards and gifts we have started to receive and it is so much fun! We have received the tiniest little rattle, baby shampoo, a teddy bear and the softest baby blanket.. I’m sure I am just extra sentimental, but everything for the baby just seems soooo cute.
Favorite Outings: We have gone to chipotle twice in the past 2 weeks and I have LOVE the lime chips! (wow this is turning out to be all about food. haha) AND we have continued our Saturday morning wegmans breakfast outing, egg sandwich, chocolate chip muffin and cappuccino freeze. yum! (This is the one way justin gets me to wake up early on saturdays and go grocery shoppign with him, which has become our favorite date of the week!) Now a running joke in our family, our favorite store is Wegmans… Long story..
Anyhow, this turned into a longer post than I meant it to be.. In summary, we are thankful for this blessing the Lord has given us, and ask for your prayer for a healthy baby! I am still worried every day that everything is going ok, though I know the Lord is in control. Thank you friends and family for checking in, and for my wonderful clients, thank you for all of the business! If you are waiting on your photos I will continue to work on your DVDS and they will be with you as soon as I have a chance. Thank you for your patience!
Hes a great writer, and of course is much more witty than I am, thats why hes always the one to write the Christmas letters. Anyhow, he has a fun perspective on the whole thing, and I love his versions/side of the story. I’ll bug him to write something sometime next week.
Its official, we are having a baby in December! Right now they are thinking December 30th, maybe a new years eve baby?
