Welcome to the second trimester! This week's big developments: 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. In other news: Your baby's stretching out. From head to bottom, he measures 3 1/2 inches -- about the size of a lemon -- and he weighs 1 1/2 ounces.

Whoo hoo, second trimester, how exciting!!
I had an aversion to Sprite the entire time I was pg. too! I don't think I will ever like it again!
Off to make my guess....need any boy clothes?? :)
Thanks for stopping by my blog! :)
I miss sleeping on my stomach as well. I never used to do it much until I had kids and now that I can't while pg, I get as much of it as I can when not! Try to get used to sleeping on your side if you can. A few more weeks and your belly will be too big to lay on your back for long, so side sleeping will be the most comfy in the long run.
