Its growing

Here it is at 14 weeks. I have a doctors appt on Tuesday, but I don't think we can find out the gender until the next doctor's appointment (next month). Everything knew I learn about what happens to the 'mothers body' during pregnancy grosses me out more and more. Its a good thing you can't really change your mind about this whole pregnancy thing or else I would have stopped it a long time ago. Its all so disgusting. I admit, it's incredibly miraculous that all this stuff happens, but more-so when it happens to OTHER people. I am such a wimp. Seriously. Oh well. So here's what the website says about it at this stage.

The body is now growing faster than the head, balancing out that brain-heavy look and making the fetus appear more baby-like. The skin is covered with lanugo, an ultrafine hair that protects it until birth. There's also hair on the baby's head, and the beginnings of tiny eyebrows. Your little one is now about 4 inches long and weighs just under 2 ounces.

12 Weeks

Now measuring between 2 and 3 inches from crown to rump, the fetus is busily doing his stretching and kicking exercises. All major organs are in place, and his brain, nerves, and muscles are starting to function. Although his gender was determined at conception, external genitalia won't fully develop for another couple of weeks. At that point, a sonogram may be able to show whether you're carrying a boy or a girl--if your baby will cooperate and face the camera!

I'm starting to develop a bit of a belly now. Last night Brian was looking at my stomach and said I look like a chubby little girl. Just what I like to hear. I'm not feeling so sick lately so thats good. Even though we heard the heartbeat I still think its weird that I'm pregnant. Like its not real yet. Especially since I'm feeling better, its more like I'm getting over a flu or something. So...why isn't anyone else writing blogs anymore?

I work at a testing center as many of you know. When people pass or fail, they all have interesting reactions. This one guy yesterday was so happy, he was trying to be funny but it wasn't working. I don't think he noticed. He sure was laughing. It was getting on my nerves. I kinda wanted to slap him and say "just shut up and listen to the instructions I have to give you so you can leave and so I don't have to listen to YOU anymore" but I guess that could have been considered unprofessional. Then trying to fingerprint him was difficult. He was over 300 lbs so I couldn't just take control of him the way I do other people. Don't people know what the word RELAX means?! He wouldn't stop talking long enough to listen to what I needed him to do. Again, I had an impulse to act unprofessionally. I wanted to spray him in the face with a spray bottle we use for their hands if their skin is too dry. But alas, I need this job a few more months for the insurance.
I think I'm in a bad mood. Is it wrong to miss people who you can no longer contact because it would be considered inappropriate?
