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!!!!!
