15 Weeks -- Movement!

Yet another week has passed...and this one is very exciting. I think I felt baby move today! Although I am not completely sure because I don't know exactly what it's supposed to feel like...but I'm pretty sure! And I felt it on the left side first, so Nana said that predicts a girl.

How baby is developing: 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). He or she is busy moving amniotic fluid through their nose and upper respiratory tract, which helps the primitive air sacs in the lungs begin to develop. Baby's legs are growing longer than his or her arms now, and baby can move all their joints and limbs. Although baby's eyelids are still fused shut, he or she can sense light. If I shine a flashlight at my tummy, for instance, baby's likely to move away from the beam. There's not much for baby to taste at this point, but taste buds are forming as well. Keep going baby!!!!
