Ok, here we are at week 15!
Oh, and Happy New Year, and I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!
Around next week and on is when I should start feeling this little cookie start kicking!! They say it actually feels more like bubbles at first, or butterflies, but I can't wait!!
It's weird that the last appt. was the last time I heard the heartbeat and any other thing relating to develpment. It just makes me nervous not being able to hear the heartbeat myself, or feel anything because I just want to make sure everything is ok.......
It's amazing to look at this picture and to think that is the size of the baby now...well with a microscope.

Here is an update on development.
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 gender 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.)
Well, my next appt. is on January 4th, to have the Quadruple Screening. We won't be having an ultrasound to find out if everything is ok, and hopefully the gender until the Feb. visit.
