13 and 14 Weeks

Ok - so I am slacking. Last week wasn't a good week. I was sick two days - fighting a sinus infection, and then I was so busy trying to make up for the two days I missed at work, that I just didn't get any time to get online. So - I am now playing blog catch up! :O)

Oh - and again the disclosure - the following pic's are not of Junebug. They are of ones that I have found via the internet! Actual pic's of Junebug hopefully to come in the next month and a half or so!

13 Weeks




I love this one of the lil hand! You can see it so clearly! Each finger! So adorable!


Junebug is now about 2 1/2 to 3 inches long and about the size of a peach, and weighs about 1/2 to 3/4 ounce! His/her body is trying to catch up to the size of the head. Although the head makes up more than half of the size, by the time Junebug arrives, it will only make up 1/4 of the size. The intestines are moving to their permanent location inside the abdomen. The facial features are looking more humanlike, with the eyes moving closer together and the ears moving to their normal position on the side of the head. This week those vocal chords are also developing, so that when he/she makes his/her debut - they can let the whole world know!!

14 Weeks






Welcome to the 2nd Trimester!!!! At 14 weeks, Junebugs crown-to-rump length is 3 1/4 to 4 inches, weighs almost 1 ounce, and is about the size of a fist. Now, I don't know if this is my fist, or Mama's - cause I have really small hands, so my first is really tiny, but Mama has an average sized hand, so her fist is a lil bigger. Growing by leaps and bounds, Junebug is now leaping and bounding! He/she is constantly moving with ballet-like movements that are smooth and fluid! Junebug can now wiggle his/her fingers or toes, and can even suck on a thumb! He/she could also be sprouting hair, and not just on her head! Junebug should be covered in lanugo (a downy coating of hair that helps keep him/her warm and also helps protect the skin while in so much liquid). Sexual development continues, so it becomes easier to determine male from female.
