We're 14 weeks and officially out of the first trimester by anyone's standards. Some say after 12 weeks and some say after 13. 13 makes most sense to me, so I'll go with that. We are nearing the big gender appointment and I'm getting so anxious. I am starting to have crazy/silly dreams about what you are, but they keep going back and forth from girl to boy though so I don't think it means anything. I just can't wait to refer to you as something that isn't "it"! Daddy is certain that you're a boy and I think you may be too. My coworkers say I look like I'm carrying as if you're a boy (whatever that means!) and I am wearing a blue shirt this week. Who knows!? In other news, I've outgrown most regular clothes now and haven't quite grown into maternity clothes fitting correctly. I wish I could wear yoga pants everyday!!! Well, that's no different than normal. I'm sending a little different development update this time, because I like this one from Everyday Family a little better. Enjoy!
By week 14, your baby is around the size of a lemon, measuring about three and a half inches and weighing one and a half ounces. Her body also starts to even out this week, as her arms and head are finally proportionate to the rest of her body. Her hands and feet now measure about a half-inch long, and are actively punching and kicking inside you. Don't be alarmed if you can't feel this movement, it's too small for you to feel.
Your baby is also busy making facial expressions by week 14. He can squint his eyes, and his lips can turn into a frown. His neck has grown longer, and his chin has started to take shape. You baby’s kidneys can produce urine, and his liver has begun to produce bile.
