3 Days til Vacation/ 15 weeks along!

Not much to update just thought I'd post something on here. Let's see... we are heading home on wednesday to Wisconsin for a long weekend vacation it will be nice to be home and see some friends. :) It will also be nice to be up there and not do anything related to the wedding! Phew! I'm 15 weeks along now... says the baby is about the size of an apple! Getting more and more exciting! Have a doctor appointment this week before we leave for vacation and hopefully hear the heartbeat since we didnt hear it last time due to being 11 weeks so Dr said I was just a little too small yet to hear anything but this time we should hear it! I'm still feeling tired quite a bit but have realized I do have more energy during the day while at work now so thats good. here's the baby update from baby center this week: 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.") Happy Memorial day everyone!! Next time I blog it will be either in Wisconsin or about our trip!! :)
