15 Weeks

How your baby's growing:

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! (Don't be too disappointed if it remains a mystery, though. Nailing down your baby's sex depends on the clarity of the picture and on your baby's position. He or she may be modestly curled up or turned in such a way as to "hide the goods.")

As for me, the headaches are becoming a lot more frequent. I have a friend who is 2 1/2 weeks farther along than I am, and she says hers have calmed down, so hopefully mine won't last two much longer either.

Yesterday was Brandon's and my one year anniversary. He made me dinner and it was delicious. Other than that, we didn't really do much, had a nice relaxing day at home.

We did find a new apartment recently, I don't think I've mentioned that yet. It's nicer than the one we live in now, and much cheaper! We don't movie until June 1st, but I am excited for it already. I can't wait!  I'll take pictures once we get there.
