15 weeks

this week i have been daydraming about all the fun stuff! now that i can feel the hard ball in my tummy i cant take my hands off of it! and it just makes me smile and think of finishing the nursery, the day i go into labor, having a sweet baby in my arms, and so much more! i was sitting at home yesterday thinking of how i wanted the babies room to look and so i downloaded the application paintbrush so i could draw it up...of course i am no artist, but i had alot of fun and it gives a good idea of how i want the results to look. i did one for both boy and girl! here they are! hope you all are doing well!




How your baby's growing at 15 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. Finally, if you have an ultrasound this week, you may be able to find out whether your baby's a boy or a girl! (Don't be too disappointed if it remains a mystery, though. Nailing down your baby's sex depends on the clarity of the picture and on your baby's position. He or she may be modestly curled up or turned in such a way as to "hide the goods.")
