14.5 Weeks mean:
I'm out of the first trimester and, according to my doctor, the chance of miscarriage is very very slim! From head to bottom, baby measures 3 1/2 inches and weighs 1 1/2 ounces. BTW baby can now squint, frown, grimace, pee, and possibly suck his/her thumb [and since this IS my child, it's pretty much a given s/he is sucking his/her thumb]. In April I will have my first ultrasound, and YES, we will make every attempt to find out what we're having.
While I'm happy to report the nausea has subsided I still haven't gotten my energy back. One of the great ironies of my pregnancy: utter and complete exhaustion made worse by insomnia! I saw the doctor yesterday and, lucky me, he said this probably won't subside.
Speaking of the doctor's office: I hate the scale there! It has me 4 lbs heavier then my home scale and they're telling me I've gained 5 lbs since my last visit (4 weeks ago) when I calculate I've only gained 8 lbs the entire 14.5 weeks!
But in good news: we heard the baby's heartbeat again yesterday and everything sounds good!

YAY!! I am happy you are feeling better and hope you get some sleep. I can't wait to find out if it is a he or a she.
LOVE YOU AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Hope you can get some sleep. I'm rooting for twins!
Maybe you are having a boy, I was SO exhausted when I was pregnant with Gabe. But hopefully you will start to get your energy back soon. Crazy that at only 14 weeks so much is going on already!
PS. Happy Birthday!
I'm happy that things are going well and I would wish some sleep and energy for you if I thought it would do any good. Welcome to pregnancy in your 30s :( Hard project.
um....I guess that is what I get for not checking in with you for so long! Pregnant! Congrats.
