2nd trimester

I have officially entered my second trimester! Wow, this first trimester went by fairly quick...I am sure I won't be saying the same thing come November. I've been feeling really good this pregnancy, and sometimes find myself asking, "Am I really pregnant?" I've been nauseous only a handful of times and that was at the beginning of the pregnancy. I do wake up and go to the bathroom like 5 times a night, and man-the heartburn lately has been no good. Other than that I've been great. What a difference from my first pregnancy when I was nauseous every single day and still getting sick near the end of my pregnancy.

Here's the week 14 update:
Welcome to the second trimester! This week's big developments: Your baby can now squint, frown, grimace, pee, and possibly suck his thumb. Thanks to brain impulses, his facial muscles are getting a workout as his tiny features form one expression after another. His kidneys are producing urine, which he releases into the amniotic fluid around him — a process he'll keep up until birth. He can grasp, too, and if you're having an ultrasound now, you may even catch him sucking his thumb. In other news: Your baby's stretching out. From head to bottom, he measures 3 1/2 inches — about the size of a lemon — and he weighs 1 1/2 ounces.
