Feeling Good

Hi Family & Friends,

I'm 14 weeks and the clould has lifted. My nausea is gone and food is staying down! I feel like a new person............. I feel like a person! Still no cravings for the exception of wanting to drink something fizzy other than the usual ice cold water. My list of foods I can stomach has remained the same, but like I said what an improvement!

LAST WEEK: Ahmed and I went in for our second ultrasound last week. They performed tests on the baby (thru ultrasounds and blood) to determine if there were any abnormal chromosones. The doctor said everything looked fantastic! There was no extra fluid in the back of the babys head (which would signal that something may be wrong). According to medical statistic a woman who gives birth at the age of 35 has a 1:230 chance of having a child with down syndrome. After my results, my chances were 1:1200. So, we were very relieved and happy.  

We still do not  know the sex of the baby, but we will find out in 2 1/2 weeks! :)  

The end of our First Trimester!

Greetings to all of my Friends & Family!

This is my official announcement that we are pregnant! 

How am I feeling?

I apologize for not being in contact lately, but I have been on high Morning Sickness Alert. :) Yes.......It is bad. And its with me 24/7. I lost 12 pounds and I 

am hungry! :) But, Please do not worry, the nausea is not as intense as it was

in the beginning and I am feeling slightly better with the aide of Anti-Nausea medicine. (it's baby safe) 

Today's Schedule:

We had our second ultra sound today and reality hit me as I watched this new

little life (6cm) on the monitor. It didn't look like a little bean! It looked like a little mini baby

with a strong heart beat, little head, hands lifted up in the air, feet kicking........it was amazing.

I couldn't believe at 12 weeks a baby's development happened so fast!  We are sooo Happy.

Unfortunately, it is too early to tell the baby's sex. But,we are taking a poll. So, if you want to take a guess you have a 50/50 chance. :)  There is only one baby, believe me! That was the first question I asked.

What can I eat?

Well, Rice & Pea's or Beans, fish (not spicy), Pineapples, Nectarines, Red Grapes, Green Grapes (I have to peel the skin), Veggie Burger, (no condiments), and Sorbet.  It is a limited diet, but its something.

Thank you for all of your love and support.
