14 weeks along 02/09/2009

As of Friday (the 6th) we are 14 weeks along. Nothing has changed yet, but we're hoping to know what we're having on the 17th of this month. Yes, we decided we want to know what baby's sex is. This has been a rather odd week...after Busha passed away, Ryan came down with a really bad cold- THEN it manifested into pink eye! YES! It's possible...there are 2 types of pink eye: viral and bacterial and a cold/sinus infection can turn into pink eye. So, I've gone through my fair share of antibacterial wipes and cans of lysol at the house, yet I still came down with that same cold- BOOOOOO. I'm praying it does not turn into pink eye too...creepy! I feel like crap and have not really slept in 2 days- this is from being able to only partially breathe through one nostril and these bizzare off-the-wall dreams I'm having. Belly is getting bigger, but luckily I have managed to lose some weight! You have to remember that I found out about being pregnant right in the middle of the holidays....so.....naturally I'm not eating as much as I was then (at least not yet anyway). We're EXTRA excited about our appt. on Tuesday! We will keep you posted!

Some facts about being 14 months in the oven:

Your baby now has fingerprints! Book 'em, Danno! Believe it or not, he actually created them himself while swimming around in the amniotic fluid. As he moved his hands, the skin on the tips of his fingers formed unique ridges and folds. That's why no one on earth has the same fingerprints, not even identical twins! Cool, right? Baby's arms are now in proportion to his tiny body, but his legs are still on the short size in comparison. Your baby is now the length of a flip phone, or roughly 3.5 inches—he's tripled in size from a mere three weeks ago!
