15 Weeks!!

I can't believe how fast the time is flying by. I'm just dying to feel my little bean moving around in there, I haven't felt anything yet, but it should be soon! I have a doctor's appointment on Monday and I'm really hoping that we get to hear the heartbeat on the doppler this time. Last time, the damn thing's batteries died! I'm also patiently waiting for my belly to "pop" so that I actually look pregnant to other people and not just fat! Here is the weekly bean status report.

At around 4 inches long, crown to rump, your baby now weighs about 2 1/2 ounces, about the size of an apple. He's busy inhaling and exhaling amniotic fluid, which will help the air sacs in his lungs develop. Sweat glands are appearing, and although his eyelids are fused shut, he can sense light. If you were to shine a flashlight at your tummy, he'd most likely move away from the beam. If you're scheduled for an ultrasound in the coming weeks (most women have one between 16 and 20 weeks), you may be able to find out whether your baby's a boy or a girl !
