Pregnancy Highlights
How Far Along: 14 weeks
Size of baby: Baby Strickland is the size of a lemon
What’s developing: Baby Strickland can now squint, frown, grimace, pee, and possibly suck his/her thumb. The kidneys are producing urine, which he/she releases into the amniotic fluid (this continues until birth). Baby Strickland should measure about 3.5 inches and weight about 1.5 ounces. It is also starting to develop an ultra-fine, downy layer of hair, called lanugo, that covers the body.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained just a few pounds total... DIDN' T GAIN ANY THE WHOLE MONTH OF DECEMBER (I guess from the nausea and occasional vomiting)
Clothes: Had been able to wear my regular jeans until about 1 week ago, have now transitioned to maternity jeans. Still able to wear my regular bigger shirts. Still in my regular scrubs FOR NOW.
Gender: Will find out Tuesday, February 7th (hopefully, fingers crossed)
Movement: Haven’t felt any movement yet
Sleep: Waking up several times a night to use the bathroom.
What I miss: Jersey Mikes subs
Cravings: Orange Juice
Symptoms: Did have nausea every morning until 4 days ago... NO NAUSEA for the past 4 mornings. WOO HOO!!!
Best Moment this week: Getting through my 1st trimester safe and sound!
SO happy for you kids! One more Strickland on the way! Prayers for a smooth pregnancy for you! Love, Barbara
