14 weeks

14 weeks marks several key exciting events in the life of the cockeye...

1. the cockeye has moved off mommy's sciatic nerve which helps in mommy's efforts to feel her right arm and walk upright like a normal human being. The little cockeye just wanted to make sure mommy knew he/she was there...

2. we are well into our second trimester which is very exciting! as are all of the perks that come with the 2nd trimester like the return of my energy. It is so nice to be able to make it through the day without crashing the second i get home, or spend my weekends sleeping on the couch.

3. Exercise time...mommy started working out again - although i hardly call it working out in contrast to what i used to do...however, it has been a while and i need to take it easy - so 15 - 20 minutes of walking on the treadmill, lifting and stretching will have to do for now.

4. The cockeye is the size of a lemon, is about 3.4 inches long and weighs in at around 1.5 oz. It is sucking its thumb, wiggling its toes and peeing. It is also breathing amniotic fluid as the liver, kidneys and spleen continues to develop.

5. We have started planning out the nursery - well mommy has, i am not sure daddy has had much say up to this point in time - but i think he may have checked himself out of this right about the time the executive decision was made that the nursery would not be Garnet & Black.

6. Daddy is doing a pretty killer job of taking on more jobs/tasks around the house and has been a huge help.


cheers (with some sort of non-alcoholic beverage) to making it to week 14 and looking forward to the coming months.
