Just waiting for our next appointment which is a little over 3 weeks away and it seems like it is a very long time from now. 

Bebe’s Blog:

Bebe is 14 weeks and will be 15 on Friday.  Bebe can now squint, frown, grimace, possibly suck his thumb, and pee! Yes, you heard me correctly.   Bebe’s kidneys are producing urine, which he/she releases into the amniotic fluid — a process Bebe will keep up until birth.  From head to bottom, Bebe measures 3 1/2 inches and he weighs 1 1/2 ounces, which is about the size of a lemon.  One blog I follow brilliantly pointed out that growing babies are constantly being referenced to fruits, LOL, Bebe fruit salad.  I’m fantastically jealous that I didn’t pick up on that sooner; you don’t know the things I could have done with that material.   Bebe is starting to develop an ultra-fine, downy covering of hair, called lanugo, all over his/her body.  Though the experts say I can’t feel Bebe’s movement yet, I at certain times can and have for several weeks now.  Most noticeably is when I flip from one side to the other side at night and Bebe doesn’t shift smoothly with me.  I can feel Bebe sliding away as if I pinched him/her into too tight of quarters.

My Time:

Breakfast today consisted of whole wheat toast with butter, a large banana, V8 juice, and a chocolate Hostess cupcake with a large glass of skim milk.  That is not a normal breakfast but Michelle talked me into buying the box of cupcakes yesterday when we hit the store to buy a wading pool for her and the dog and the dang things stayed on my mind through the entire night.  The minute the garage door shut and hubby pulled out of the drive with them all I felt like Peggy Bundy eating her bonbons.  I have also been on a kick of eating cinnamon raisin bagels with strawberry cream cheese. YUM! 

I unpacked my maternity clothing the other day and was thrilled to find a bunch of cute Gap pieces that I forgot having, my favorite being a jean skirt.  I have everything hung up in the closet now and it is getting de-wrinkled as best as possible.  There are only a few pieces of my normal clothing that still fits and the granny panties are now out in full force for the duration of this journey.

I have some belly photo shots I’ve been working on for you, so be looking for those in the next few days.  For now, I have to fold some laundry, dust the living room, take a shower, and stop at the store before doing preschool pickup.  I have 70 minutes, can I do it?
