15 weeks! How fun to be this far! And, I'm finally starting to look pregnant!!! I have gained around 5 pounds and my stomach definitely has a small baby bump (which I am very proud of!)
I still feel quite sick most evenings and threw up Saturday afternoon... ruining our plans to celebrate John's birthday. I felt so horrible changing everyone's plans and became an emotional basket case. I felt it was too late in my pregnancy to be throwing up and I didn't feel better after anyways.
The baby has been very hungry! A few hours after I eat, my stomach begins to growl!
The head to bum measurement for this week is 4 to 4 and 1/2 inches long and weighs 1 and 3/4 ounces! It should only take a few weeks before I'll get to feel our baby bumping around!
"Your baby's rapid growth continues. Its skin is thin. At this point in its development, you can see blood vessels through the skin. Fine hair called lanugo hair, covers the baby's body.
By this time, your baby may be sucking its thumb. This has been seen with ultrasound examination. Eyes continue to move to the front of the face but are still widely separated.
Ears continue to develop externally.
Bones that have already formed are getting harder and retaining calcium (ossifying) rapidly. If an X-ray were done at this time, the baby's skeleton would be visible."
