Wow! I honestly am blown away that I'm this far along! Not that I thought I would have lost the baby... But I never really let myself think about being pregnant while we were trying to conceive, no less think about being in my 15th week!!! But I am sooo thankful to be here andddd to be feeling better:)
Things have been pretty uneventful so far but things should definately be picking up here in the next month! And I guess to start that off I can tell you that I can definately feel where the baby is:) It is really amazing! I went to start using my stretch mark cream and while I was rubbing it into my lower abdomen I felt how hard it was in one spot! The baby is still very low, coming only a few inches (if even that) above my pubic bone ((so when you look at the belly pictures, sadly the "bump" is my fat lol the baby is below that right now... i.e. why I'm not very comfortable with people touching my "belly" right now... because it's just fat, and there's nothing cute and rub-able about fat! ;p))
The fun facts below say that I might start feeling the baby move... I haven't so far but am soo excited about it getting closer:)
There aren't any good pictures on pregnancy.org of what the baby looks like this week, so I'm sorry about that! But there are a ton of neat facts for you to read and I will get a belly picture up in the next few days!!
*You may begin to feel some fluttering movements as baby kicks, flails, twists and turns (but don't panic if you don't yet). She can also grasp, squint, frown, grimace and maybe suck her thumb!
*Your baby's legs have grown longer than the arms and the body is now longer than the head.
*And you'll be happy to note that he is moving those arms and legs often!
*His skin is very thin -- so thin blood vessel are visible. It's covered by a fine, soft layer of hair called lanugo. Lanugo comes from a Latin word meaning "down." *This hair is thought to help insulate your little boy.
*The three tiny bones in his middle ear have begun to harden. The auditory centers in your baby's brain haven't developed yet, so she might not really understand what you say but her hearing capacity is in the process of developing.
*Fingernails and toenails are growing.
*Eyebrows are beginning to grow and even the hair his head is sprouting. It will probably change color and texture after birth.
*All this and your little one is an amazing 3.98 inches (10.1cm) long and may weigh 2.47 ounces (70gm).
