Week 15


How's baby growing this week?
- Your growing baby now measures about 4 inches long, 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!

How am I this week?
- Developing a bit of sore throat, probably from the vomiting I had, and the spicy stuff I like to eat.
- Running nose from hormonal changes and increased blood flow to my mucous membranes
- Slight headache because of this 2 conditions
- Tummy getting bigger and I cant fit into all my skirts and pants expect 1-2 of them.
- Lesser vomit incidents but still feel nausea when I get too hungry or the bus jerks badly. (Motion sickness to the extreme)
- Less sleepy, and definitely more energy. BUT, when I have running nose, my body's natural reaction is to rest. Runny nose makes me sleepy. So, I am now less sleepy from pregnancy but more sleepy from runny nose..

Jia you Jia you to me!
