15 weeks

15 weeks pregnant :) I'm a little slow at updating this. I have a doctors appointment in a week which I am really looking forward to. It seems so far away. 


We also have an ultrasound on the 13th, but we are unsure if they will look for the sex or not. We hope so, because we are anxious to find out if the baby is a boy or a girl. 


I am starting to feel so much better. I am still pretty tired, and I am hungry all the time. I mean, starving. 


I didn't see much change in my body from work 14-15 weeks. But here is what the baby did this week. 


15 week fetal update:

Your adorable four-inch break-dancer is busy cutting a rug inside their dance studio, even if you still can't feel it.

The majority of women don't feel those first magical movements (and not just the not-so-magical gas from the chili at dinner last night) until the 18th week or later.

Interesting fetal developments: your wee monkey's elbows and knees are bending more freely this week and their little legs arefinally less stubby than their arms.

Many of your baby's major organ systems are increasing in capacity - especially their amazing tiny heart and circulatory system, which is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood per day, and will increase to a very impressive 200 quarts per day by the end of the pregnancy.

You wee womb-tenant is now capable of making all sorts of interesting facial expressions, which include squinting, frowning, and grimacing (at the taste of their pee?).

As far as hair goes, we've got some new scalp patterns beginning to develop on the head, although actual head hair is not yet present, just their furry monkey lanugo.

I think I have felt the baby move a couple times but nothing that I am certain to say "Wow, that was the baby!" 


I get nervous in between these appointments that everything is ok since there is a whole MONTH between them.


This last week I took Caitlyn and Johnathon bowling to see their friend Max. They had fun. The next day Jesse and I went to thecarnival and fireworks with Ms. Caitlyn. :) She loves fireworks. On Saturday was our neice Tyla's 5th Birthday. :) I cannot believe they are so big!!!

16 weeks tomorrow!!!!!

I am finally out of my first trimester ! Most of you probably are aware of how happy that makes me - But for those of you who don't know. I'm ecstatic. After having about five weeks of morning sickness, and being very very worried about my pregnancy. I am just really happy that we are finally able to say that we are in our second trimester!!! :D:D

Jesse and I's newest nephew was born last week! Havyn James is here and I am already in love with him! 

Jesse and I went to Cleveland on Tuesday for the Glee Live concert ! It was wonderful, and I had a great great time. Jesse on the other hand, was super bored but totally the best husband ever for coming with me! It was good for us to get away, and have a couple days to ourselves and not really worry about anything. 

My belly is growing and I cannot believe I am already showing ! I didn't think it would happen so fast. Its almost time for some maternity clothes :) 

My next appointment is not for a couple more weeks. & We have six weeks until we can find out what we are having!!!!! 

Not sure, if Jesse and I will ever agree on a name for the baby but that's ok.

Here is the Fetal Development for week 14: 

Now that we're in tri-two, are you ready to rock-n-roll?! Okay, okay, maybe just a little waltz will suffice, seeing as you're in a family way and looking like you need a nap.

At about 3.5 inches long, your peach-sized baby's little body and limber limbs are coordinated enough for loads of complicated motions.

In fact, it's very likely that they're in the middle of some fancy break-dance moves right now!

Unfortunately, you're not going to feel their fancy moves until sometime after week 18 because they're still too small to trigger sensations in your uterus. Their movements are recognizable on an ultrasound, though.

Speaking of which - you could schedule a gender ultrasound with your health care provider, if you're interested in knowing whether you're carrying a boy or a girl break-dancer. Or you can keep it a surprise till their birthday!

FYI: Weeks 16 - 18 are the first dates where the presence or lack of a penis and testicles can be clearly detected via ultrasound.

Your baby is also starting to develop the ability to move their eyes this week, although their eyelids remain fused shut for another three months.

Cute development of the week: their little hands can grasp at things and your wee babe can already suck their thumb!

Some pictures from the last week :)
