14 WEEKS

Welcome to the second trimester! 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.
So happy I am at  the second trimester! I was trying to think the other day if I have felt like I have had any real strong cravings. I haven't had a Strong craving for any one certain thing. I have spent a week eating nothing but cereal followed by a week of just wanting to eat a lot PB&J sandwiches, and so forth. I will say anybody that knows me knows that I have always been able to turn down sweets. I never really went for them until now. Now I really like to at least have one piece of chocolate a day. I don't know how much of that is for the actual sweet or my body missing all the caffeine it used to get, LOL. Either or I am glad I have a little lemon now and can't believe how fast our little one is growing.
