14 weeks

14 weeks and counting!  For the most part, I am feeling back to normal.  My energy is back (but lets not confuse that with the fact that sleep is still my favorite) and I am feeling so much better everyday.  Monday and Tuesday of this week were a little rough in the morning, but by lunch, I felt brand new. Ahhh, feeling better just in time for a yummy Thanksgiving meal!  Baby B...er, Mama B...is very, very, very excited about food.  Maybe I should buy myself a bib... 


Baby B is now about 3 1/2 inches long — about the size of a lemon — and weighs 1 1/2 ounces. According to my reading, he/she can now squint, frown, grimace, pee, and possibly suck his/her thumb!  

It's hard to believe that tomorrow is Thanksgiving (already!). I have so much to be thankful for. I'm thankful for our family and friends, who have been so supportive and excited for us as we embark on this journey.  I'm thankful for my husband, my best friend.  I feel very blessed to wake up every morning to his sweet face and to be on the receiving end of his unconditional patience and love. And I'm thankful for our little answered prayer. I already feel so incredibly lucky to be his/her mommy and can't wait to feel, meet, know this little blessing. 


Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
