15 Weeks!

Pregnancy Highlights

How Far Along: 15 weeks

Size of baby: Baby Strickland is the size of an apple.

What’s developing:   Baby Strickland measures about 4 inches (crown to rump) and weighs about 2.5 ounces.  He or she is moving amniotic fluid through the nose and upper respiratory tract, which helps the primitive air sacs in the lungs begin to develop.  The baby's legs are growing longer than his/her arms now.  He or she can move all those tiny joints and limbs.  The eyelids are still fused shut, but it can sense light.  The taste buds are also forming.

Total Weight Gain/Loss:  I weighed this morning and I have gained 0.8 pounds since my 1st OB appointment on December 6th.

Clothes:   Maternity jeans, but are still able to wear my regular bigger shirts.  Still in my regular scrubs FOR NOW.

Gender:  Will find out Tuesday, February 7th (hopefully, fingers crossed)

Movement: Haven’t felt any movement yet.

Sleep: Waking up about 2 times per night to use the bathroom.

What I miss:  Jersey Mikes subs

Cravings: Orange Juice and strawberries this week.

Symptoms:  Not really having any symptoms now since the nausea is gone. 

Best Moment this week: A week of no nausea or vomiting.
