15 weeks

According to the little picture over there I'm 15 weeks! I still feel bloated, but maybe I am seeing a little bitty baby belly coming on? I have been avoiding tight clothes and fitted t-shirts lately...and prob will for another month I think. At 15 weeks our baby is about the size of a 4 inch apple and weighing about 2.5 ounces. The baby continues to grow lanugo (downy hair) and will continue to grow it until around week 26. The eyebrows and scalp hair are starting to become visible and the bones continue to harden and develop. The baby's legs have caught up to the rest of the body and are now longer than the arms. (Better for running:) The baby is swallowing amniotic fluid and that helps prepare the nose and upper respiratory tract. Baby can now sense light even though the eyes are still fused shut. The baby might be thumb sucking and the gender of baby may be visible. I have an appointment in a little over a week, no ultrasound, but more blood work and I get to meet with the doctor.
