14 Weeks and 1 or 2 days....

Depending on what tool I use to determine how far along I am is off by one or two days. I don't know what is up with the "What to expect" website, but they have me at 15 weeks, not quite! I am really excited. Though I am noticing that my brain does not quite function like it used to and I can't pay attention worth a darn. This will help me in being better about posting blogs though, I can't account for the spelling and whether what I am writing is making sense. According to Babycenter our little one is as follows:
"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. His body's growing faster than his head, which now sits upon a more distinct neck. By the end of this week, his arms will have grown to a length that's in proportion to the rest of his body. (His legs still have some lengthening to do.) He's starting to develop an ultra-fine, downy covering of hair, called lanugo, all over his body. Your baby's liver starts making bile this week — a sign that it's doing its job right — and his spleen starts helping in the production of red blood cells. Though you can't feel his tiny punches and kicks yet, your little pugilist's hands and feet (which now measure about 1/2 inch long) are more flexible and active."

I think I can feel him/her move at night when I first lay on my left side. I feel a mild flutter (like butterflies) in my lower left uterine area. Though this could be wishful thinking or someother thing like gas...who knows!

We're Expecting!

Ted and I are excited to announce that we are expecting our first little one! I am 13 1/2 weeks pregnant! Almost through the first trimester. I have experienced nausea, vomitting, extreme fatigue and a lot of aches and pains while my body adjusts to being pregnant. The nausea has decreased, though smells bring it on. However, my tail bone hurts much more now. My Doc says that is due to the baby/uterus pressing against my sciatic nerve. Wouldn't you know with all my back problems, this would be a must! It is a welcomed sign of pregnancy!

Sick Hubby

I don't know what is worse, a sick husband or a sick dog...or both! Here I am with a hurt knee, trying to stay off of it the best I can nursing a sick husband and a post-op dog! I am feeling a little run down right now. Any advice on caring for a sick husband who only seems able to think of himself (not meant in a mean way, but meant in a what all women know about men way).

Chewie was netutered

That's right, yesterday I took Chewie to the vet to get the grand snip! Poor little guy, whenever he and I go in the car alone he seems to have a traumatic experience. For example, it was I that took him to get groomed the first time and now it was I that took him to the vet. Maybe he'll start associating me with bad things... It is a good thing that I am the one who feeds him and takes care of him...or else! He is recovering, acting a little funny.

Yesterday he was walking like he had just gotten off a boat, he hadn't quite gotten his land legs.

Sorry Grandma and Grandpa...no great grand pups!
