15 weeks--almost

Well, tomorrow I'm 15 weeks! Hard to believe. It doesn't feel/look like I'm 15 weeks. Here's what they (someone who knows more than me!) say is happening this week:

Your growing baby now measures about 4 inches long, crown to rump, and weighs in at about 2 1/2 ounces (about the size of an apple). She's busy moving amniotic fluid through her nose and upper respiratory tract, which helps the primitive air sacs in her lungs begin to develop. Her legs are growing longer than her arms now, and she can move all of her joints and limbs. Although her eyelids are still fused shut, she can sense light. If you shine a flashlight at your tummy, for instance, she's likely to move away from the beam. There's not much for your baby to taste at this point, but she is forming taste buds.

I had to move my ultrasound and fetal exam to October 17. At least we'll know the sex and that it has all fingers and toes by the time we go to Bali. Don't want that hanging over my head.

I'll do another belly pic sometime soon. Not much has changed...
Love, the 3 of us!
