15

This week, Baby D is the size of a naval orange.

How far along: 15 weeks

Net weight gain/loss: up about 5 lbs. – but I haven’t weighed in a couple of weeks

Maternity clothes: wearing the BeBand…but I’m going to have to break out the clothes very soon.

Stretch marks: No (and let’s pray for none!!)

Belly button: innie

Sleep: Still interrupted every couple of hours for a bathroom break

Baby movement: Not yet

Food cravings: Crackers & cheese (I know that’s weird!)

Food aversions: No…

What I miss: Staying up late on Saturday night (I can’t stay awake!)

Looking forward to: Hearing Baby’s heartbeat again at the doctor’s appt Wednesday

Best moment this week: Feeling better!!

Milestones: Baby’s busy moving amniotic fluid through his or her nose and upper respiratory tract, which helps the primitive air sacs in the lungs begin to develop. Baby D’s legs are growing longer than the arms, and he or she can move all joints and limbs. Although Baby’s eyelids aren’t open yet, he or she can sense light. If you shine a flashlight at your tummy, Baby’s likely to move away from the beam.

Here's your belly shot! These were both taken in the same week (think the camera's a little closer on one of them, so maybe it looks a little bigger - or maybe it is a little bigger!).
