14 Weeks-Navel Orange baby!

Feb/1/2013-Feb/6/2013
Size of baby: From head to bottom, he measures 3 1/2 inches — about the size of a lemon — and he weighs 1 1/2 ounces.
My baby this week: 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. Your baby's stretching out. 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.
Maternity Clothes: Yes, but I'm finding that most of the pants don't fit too well, as I don't have a big belly to hold them up. I'm going to need to get some tight tank tops to hold them up.
Sleep: Lots of crazy dreams! This week I dreamt that my husband was cheating on me, that I was the nanny for Ben Affleck and Cameron Diaz's three children, and that I was the founder of an underground cult...Seriously so wacked out! And I have to get up once around 7 and once again around 11 to pee.
Best Moment of the Week: Feeling all the movement-what ever it was!
Movement: This week I have been feeling a lot of movement but I'm not sure if what I'm feeling is the baby migrating further up into my stomach or if I am actually feeling the baby move?
Food cravings: This week I wanted a Twix and Chinese food.
Gender: I booked a 3D gender scan and I get to find out on March 2nd!!!! I AM SO EXCITED!
What I Miss: Being able to get up early without vomiting.
What I'm Looking Forward To: Going to Bellingham in one month to find out the gender!

You should get a bella band for your pants - I obviously haven't used one yet. But I have heard such great things from friends that I bought one and it is just waiting to be used!
