15 Weeks

How Far Along: 15 weeks
Size of baby: According to babycenter.com the baby is about the size of an apple.
Your growing baby now measures about 4 inches long, crown to rump, and weighs in at about 2 1/2 ounces (about the size of an apple). She's busy moving amniotic fluid through her nose and upper respiratory tract, which helps the primitive air sacs in her lungs begin to develop. Her legs are growing longer than her arms now, and she can move all of her joints and limbs. Although her eyelids are still fused shut, she can sense light. If you shine a flashlight at your tummy, for instance, she's likely to move away from the beam. There's not much for your baby to taste at this point, but she is forming taste buds. Finally, if you have an ultrasound this week, you may be able to find out whether your baby's a boy or a girl!
Total Weight Gain/Loss: +5 pounds...though I think I look like I've gained a lot more than that
Maternity Clothes: still no maternity clothes but i believe that these days are short lived. Gender: still thinking boy. hopefully i will have another ultrasound next week to confirm
Movement: Nothing yet but I can't wait! I have been using the Doppler regularly to make sure that everything is ok in there...lol
What I miss: i still miss sushi and this week i have really missed caffeine.
Sleep: i am still taking naps after work but seen to be getting up less times through out the night.
Symptoms: I haven't felt great this week, lots of headaches and i feel like the Tylenol just doesn't do much. i also feel that i have been a bit more moody this week.
Cravings: Salads and soup
Best Moment this week: getting our first gift for the baby from my mom.
What I am looking forward to: my appointment next Friday and starting the registry.
