Monday update + my dryer

I think we need a new dryer. The heat setting must be broken because all my pants are shrinking. I first noticed it with my sleeping pants and shorts. They are leaving deep evil imprints on my waist and I think causing my thighs to feel tinglely or asleep. Over the weekend I washed jeans and when I went to put a pair on this morning they would barley zip, and even if I wanted to there was no way they would button. In their unbuttoned 3/4 way zipped state they are leaving imprints on me, not cool.

You are currently in Week 14

From APA -

What changes are occurring with your body?
Maternity clothes may be a necessity for some people, while others have been able to postpone the inevitable by either borrowing their partner’s clothes or using rubber bands and safety pins to enlarge the waistbands. Anyone else wanting to buy a new dryer, or is that just me??

How big is your baby?
Your baby is now approximately 4 inches long and weighs just a little less than 2 ounces.


What is happening with your baby?
Your baby is continuing to grow and mature at this point. Your baby’s arms are going to begin to lengthen and be more proportioned to the rest of the body. The liver is beginning to produce bile, while the spleen is beginning to produce red blood cells.
The development of your baby’s brain enables him/her to use his/her facial muscles to grimace, frown, and squint. He/she may even be sucking his/her thumb. Because you have begun the second trimester and most of the critical development has been completed, the chance of miscarriage decreases.


From WebMD -
I keep planning to cut WebMD out of the Monday update because the APA is so thorough, but WebMD always seems to have 1 cool fact.

Your baby is beginning to respond to outside stimuli. If your abdomen is poked, the fetus will try to wriggle away.

I think you need a new dryer or maternity clothes. Maternity clothes may be easier then a new dryer and last longer.
