Baby-N-Belly

This week in Baby's world:
  • now measures about 4 inches long and weighs in at about 2 1/2 ounces (about the size of an apple!)
  • legs are growing longer than the arms now, and they can move all of their joints and limbs.
  • eyelids are still fused shut but they can sense light.
  • has started "breathing" amniotic fluid in through its nose and respiratory tract, giving those lungs some very early practice for the real thing.

I'm still feeling great! I can really feel my stomach starting to grow but I'm still in that in between stage where maternity clothes are still big and your belly doesn't scream, "I'm pregnant!", just yet! I THINK I've felt a few flutters but I don't know if it's really the baby yet or not. Hopefully in the next week or two I'll start feeling it and know without a doubt! =) Pregnancy really is God's greatest miracle! It blows me away! What an awesome God! =)

I leave you with my first belly pics and I must say I feel WAY bigger than these pics look!!

15 weeks 1 day
