How far along: 15 weeks as of January 10, 2012. I took Emily's advice and posted the sign on the fireplace so you can see the bump better. Horrible picture of me, but oh, well.
Size of baby: Apple. Beansprout is now about 4 inches long and weighs about 2 1/2 ounces. He is moving amniotic fluid through his nose and upper respiratory tract, which helps the primitive air sacs in his lungs develop. His legs are now growing longer than his arms, and he can move all of his joints and limbs! He can also sense light, even though his eyelids will be fused shut for a few more months. He's also forming tastebuds!
Movement: Still haven't felt anything. Hope I will soon!
Sex of the baby: We find out in five weeks!
Sleep: Still fine.
What I miss: Not having to worry about everything I do and its effect on Beansprout.
Cravings: Maybe I'm past that point in the pregnancy, because I don't find myself craving anything specifically, other than lots of food!
Symptoms: Fatigue, heartburn.
What I'm looking forward to: Next week's doctor's appointment. We will be testing for neural tube defects, so please pray that that is normal. I also have a litany of questions for the doctor, since my last visit was a month ago.
