Officially in the 2nd Trimester!!

As of today, I am officially in my second trimester!! They say you have more energy in your second trimester.... and maybe its in my head but I woke up early this morning and had so much energy I went straight to the gym. I recieved this email this morning from babycenter.com

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.

I go in for my 14 1/2 week checkup on Wednesday and then its only 3 1/2 weeks until we will find out the gender of our little baby! I am getting so impatient!
