14 Weeks

I am a little late on this week's post, but the picture is still from the 14-week mark. Erika is showing a little more  and the nausea is getting a little better too. She still has some bad bouts with it, though. Hopefully it will go away soon since she just entered the second trimester.

This is this week's info from that "Baby Center":

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.

Another odd thing I did not know: apparently the baby pees in the amniotic fluid. I suppose it is not unhealthy since babies have been doing it since the beginning, but it is kind of gross sounding.
