So, today, I have a massive case of ADD at work so I did some research on the 14th week of pregnancy and found this amazing picture of what Ziggy's little leg looks like this week! It was found on http://www.i-am-pregnant.com/pregnancy/calendar/week/14 and it's just awesome to see all the little bones forming and the little toes!!! Ben and I definitely breathed a small sigh of relief this week knowing that we safely made it out of the important first trimester and I'm already starting to feel a little more with it than I have these past few weeks! I'm still exhausted, but no where near as much as I was two weeks ago!

We had an amazing doctors appointment last Wednesday where we heard Ziggy's heartbeat again. He or she was wide awake and swimming around like crazy so we heard as it would get really close to the microphone then swim to one side of my uterus and come back center, then head to the other side! It was amazing and Ben, the nurse and I all laughed and listened for a good 5 minutes. When the doctor came in he said he could hear it from the hallway and was very pleased. The heart rate was 160 and the nurse is betting on a boy. She says (and I'm taking this strictly at old wives tale value) that in motion a boys heart rate will be that high while a girls will be 160 resting. We'll see, I'm not taking any bets myself! :)

My doctor has said that we will find out the sex at the April appointment which happens to fall on my birthday! I can't think of a better birthday gift than finding out what my baby's sex is! We're very excited and can't wait to start picking out nursery stuff and names!!!

Some interesting facts about Ziggy at 14 weeks:

  • Fingerprints begin to form
  • Baby begins practicing voluntary muscle movements
  • Baby is roughly the size of a flip phone and weighs about an ounce, he or she is now triple the size they were at the time of the last post!
  • He or she went to their first Memphis Basketball game this weekend!

I'll post a couple of pictures of the belly when I get home. I should probably get back to real work now! Love to all!
