Pregnancy Week 14
February 5, 2012 – 1:10 pm
I am into my fourteenth week of existence. Mom is into her second trimester. My teeth are formed in the gums. I cannot bite, that is for a later date. I have these long string- things that, when I am born, will be called intestines. But, for now, they are moving themselves from the cord that holds me to my mother into me by a miraculous plan.
In these cords are strange things that look like hairs. They are called villi, and will help with movement of meconium, or faeces, when I am born. My pancreas is also secreting insulin, although I do not need it yet.
