15 weeks woo hoo!

I'm noticing that my Blog titles are consistently creative.....

From Babycenter.com:
"At around 4 inches long, crown to rump, your baby now weighs about 2 1/2 ounces. He's busy inhaling and exhaling amniotic fluid, which will help develop the air sacs in his lungs. His legs are growing longer than his arms now, and he can move all his joints and limbs. That means his hands are more functional, too. Sweat glands are appearing, and although his eyelids are fused shut, he can sense light. If you shine a flashlight at your tummy, he's likely to move away from the beam. There's not much for your baby to taste at this point, but his taste buds are beginning to form. And if you have an ultrasound, you may be able to find out whether your baby's a boy or girl! (Don't be disappointed if it remains a mystery, though. Nailing down the sex depends somewhat on how clear the picture is and the position of your baby during the ultrasound; he may be curled or turned in such a way as to keep you in suspense.)"

Sometime over the past week my "pooch" has definitely morphed into a "bump." Its crazy bc the bottom of my belly button looks different and its kinda weirding me out. But I know this is just the beginning! Saying 15 weeks is so hard to place (at least for me) time-wise, but maybe it would be clearer to say that Im 3 months, 2 weeks pregnant! (thats for you Erin)

This past weekend I went to Nashville for a friend's wedding, and it was the first time that it was obvious (at least to me) that I was sticking to water for the night. Other people seem to be more worried about me not drinking than I am. I much prefer the alternative (aka being PREGNANT), but everyone always seems to feel so sorry for me that I cant drink! Honestly, it aint no thang!!!!! :) Dont miss it one bit (and it would be kinda sad if I did!!!).

Overall, I feel great, am not nearly as tired as I was a few weeks ago, and cant wait to hear the heartbeat again next week! (Still no luck with the stethoscope - boo)

  1. Isn't it amazing what you'll sacrafice for that little baby already! Mama love is so natural. :)
    I could never hear Jack through a stethoscope although I tried MANY times. The few times I thought I heard him it was always in the same place, I finally asked my Dr. and she said that I was listening to the pulsing of all the extra blood flow that goes to your belly when you're pregnant. Sorry if that is gross! Glad you'll get to hear baby Roe soon either way!
