Today is 15 weeks!!! I still can't believe I'm pregnant! I'm just waiting for it to "hit" me. Maybe when I hold my lil "Nemo" in my hands, it will be real! HAHA! As for me, I'm just looking forward to Monday where I get to hear the heartbeat again!!!
Here's what's going on this week!
Your growing baby now measures about 4 inches long, crown to rump, and weighs in at about 2 1/2 ounces. 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!
Nemo is the size of an apple!
