A BABY! Yes we are having one! In fact, I’m already on my
14th week. We’ve actually known about it in the last week of June but I just
got too lazy to write about it here. Don’t blame me too much from what I’ve
read that laziness and inability to concentrate are among the things that occur
to pregnant women during the first trimester.
Wow I can hardly believe there’s a tiny human being
growing inside of me. Sometimes I still don’t think it’s real you know. And my
tummy doesn’t have a proper bump yet and I can’t feel the baby so, sometimes I
talk to myself and ask, “Is there really a baby in there?” But my OB assures me
there is. In fact, she told me I’m lucky that I don’t get morning sickness or
dizziness that a lot of pregnant women experience.
Hubby and I went for a checkup again last weekend and my
OB tried to see if we can hear a heartbeat already but it was a no-go. She put
a device (I don’t know what it’s called) with a sound detector attached to a
speaker on my tummy and tried to listen for a heartbeat. Then there was a loud
thudding sound but she said it’s not the baby but my pulse. She tried for
several minutes but it couldn’t be detected just yet. She told me that by 18
weeks to 20 weeks the heartbeat would be easier to detect.

| Pregnancy 14 Weeks |
My baby is already 14 weeks I can hardly believe it! I kept
reading about pregnancy at 14 weeks online. The articles say that my baby is
fully formed at this point and the most amazing thing is that he/she can
already make some facial expressions! He/she can now squint, grimace, frown and
even suck a thumb! I’m really amazed how a baby can do that at just 3 ½ inches!
Such is a miracle!
It’s early stage yet baby so just relax in there. But know
that Mama is excited to meet you!
