As part of the moving process, I have not had access to a scale, so I am blissfully unaware of how much weight I have gained, however due to my diet of fast food that comes with the not having a kitchen set up yet, I would guess more than I was hoping. Apparently I am supposed to be around 5 lbs more now, which I think was what I was pretty much at 2 weeks ago, so I’m already ahead of the game. Just not in a good way. HA.
I am officially on baby-movement-lookout even though I am well aware that I will not really be able to feel him/her for a few more weeks. But they say that week 16 is when you can start to feel it, and this is week 16 now … or, that is, I am experience week 16 as we speak. I am officially 15 weeks pregnant.
Here is the official lingo that the baby site said was going on:
“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.")
Which reminds me – I need to find a doctor! I should put that on my number one priority list!!!
