15 Weeks and Feeling GREAT!


Wow, I cannot believe that I am already 15 weeks preggo! That means roughly only 25 more to go... :-) I am feeling MUCH better now and I have been getting out of the house with Isaac much more often these days. I am busy planning my 10 Yr High School Reunion, to take place August 2010, so that keeps me busy too. Thank goodness for toddler naps. Ha! Arie's schedule has been pretty nice, although, this weekend he is on-call Friday AND Sunday...yuck! Isaac is now singing every song he knows to the T. He can sing you his ABC's, Itsy Spider and Twinkle word for word...he's adorable and so sweet!


Week 15 Update:

How your baby's growing: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.")
