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! :)
