And now onto my 15 week update.
How far along: 15 weeks
Total weight gain:None, down 5 pounds
Size and growth of the baby: How your baby's growing: Here's my weekly update from Babycenter.com
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.")
Sex: Have my 16 week appt schedule for MOnday and if we don't find out the sex then I have a 3D ultrasound scheduled for the 24th
Maternity clothes: Starting wearing my maternity jeans since they are more comfortable than my regular pants
Sleep: Up constantly throughout the night, yet exhausted during the day
Best moment(s) of the week: HItting 15 weeks!
Movement: None yet
Food cravings/aversions: I haven't had much of an appetite this week. I have to force myself to eat
Morning sickness: Sick this week but that's probably due to the migraines
Symptoms: Nausea, dizziness, back pain, vomiting, exhaustion, headaches, stomach cramping
Labor signs:Thankfully none
Belly button in or out: In
What I miss: Nothing
What I'm looking forward to: Our 16 week appt
My first bare belly pic
Yay for 15 weeks! I will be there on Saturday!
ReplyDeleteaww yay! You look great!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure that I knew you were expecting - Congratulations girl!! Looking good :)
ReplyDeleteGlad that you were okay after the accident, hope you start feeling better!
ReplyDeleteyour baby bump is adorable! :D
aren't you adorable with your darling little belly! :) Congratulations on your pregnancy. I've been MIA for a few months but I'm coming back now :) I remember I didn't eat much the first half of my pregnancy. I lived on saltine crackers and scrambled eggs. LOL. Hope you feel better soon :)
ReplyDeletelove your bump!!! :) cant wait to find out what your having!!
ReplyDeleteYou look great! Hope you start to feel better! I have heard really great things about the neti-pot for clearing congestion. I can't say that I would use it but maybe if I was desperate!
ReplyDeleteYour bump is super cute. As far as your cold/congestion, my parents swear by putting Vick's VapoRub on your feet before you go to sleep and covering them with socks, it helps to make your cough go away. It actually worked for me (I was in shock lol), but maybe that will help a bit for you! I had morning sickness during my first trimester but now that I'm in my second, I'm hungry all the time lol.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that helped my headaches was 8 hour Tylenol. Good luck.
