Week 14- We're slowly moving along...

It seems like Week 14 has been draaaaagging by. I have had some stomach pains (may or may not be Chick-Fil-A related from Monday) and some light cramping/stretching. So, I take back what I said last week about "not feeling pregnant." I am feeling it now. :-) Pants are uncomfortable and sometimes I can get away with the "rubber band through the button hole" trick, but other days we just go elastic. In fact, last night Brooklyn noticed my rubber band and had to go to dinner with her pants fixed the same way. :-) I tried Mexican in honor of Cinco de Mayo yesterday.....not a good plan. That may also have contibuted to the stomach pains. I'm sleeping pretty well, but still getting up 1-2 times to use the restroom. I'm fine with that, though....I actually appreciate my body adjusting to waking up in the middle of the night so I don't have to go cold turkey in 26 weeks. :-) No cravings this week......and I don't have another doctor's visit for two weeks, so I am weighing myself with the Wii Fit.....they say +0.2 pounds last week. Not bad. My goal for this pregnancy is 20 pounds. I am hoping that I will have time to work out regularly soon, but with a crazy schedule last week and this week, I only made it on "Ellie" once.

Here's what the web says:
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.
