Week 15

If you are one of the three people who read my blog, you already know Patrick and I are expecting a child June 4th! We went a week ago (Week 14) and heard the heart beat, which was great for us, but Baby R did not appreciate it, giving the wand a kick!

Here's a quick recap . . .

Week 5:
I brought this home for Patrick "Little Boots . . . Why did you buy Hank little boots?" - Patrick
It took a minute, but he figured it out. Week 10:
Weekend with the Gals in Alabama

Week 12 UltrasoundBaby R did not appreciate this activity either, going into what Patrick dubbed "spider monkey pose" and then squirming away.
Week 15:
How your baby's growing? 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.") http://www.babycenter.com/

Hey Katie! Congrats again. Another great 'follow your progress' site is pregnology.com. It has cool inutero pictures and medical info. And, what an unbelievably cute way to 'tell' Patrick!
