What week 14 entails for the baby

Swimming, tumbling around in that nice warm amniotic fluid, waving his little arms and playing with his tiny fists, kicking and stretching, yawning and sucking on his thumb, your baby is keeping busy. As long as he's not asleep, that is, because he sleeps most of the time. Did you know that he can move his fingers independently of each other already, because his webbing has disappeared? Too bad you can't feel that at all, because he's only about 3 inches (8,5 centimeters) long and weighs a mere 2 ounces (60 grams).

First check-up

I had my first check-up on March 11th. It went very well. The exam was relatively painless and I really liked the nurse practicioner that I saw. Best of all, I found out that the bad mid-wife that screwed up Kendall's delivery is not going to be there in September so I don't have to worry about her being on call! WOO HOO!
The NP decided to put in for a cardiology consult for me based on what happened with Kendall. She just wants a baseline so that if I start having problems again then we will have something to go off of. I am glad that she is playing it safe.
The baby's heartbeat remained in the 170's still leading me to believe that it is a girl!
My weight is 115. I have gained a pound so I guess that is good!
Next appt is April 11.

I am writing today to fill up my mind with positive things instead of worrisome! I am feeling much better in regards to nausea. Still pretty tired but hey Kendall tired me out when I wasn't pregnant! I am looking forward to getting my initial appt out of the way on Tuesday and of course hearing the sweet music of our baby's heartbeat again which I am hoping will reassure me after my fall last weekend. I find myself wishing that we could jump ahead to find out what the baby is but I know that only time will tell!
