As for farmbaby...
We made it to 15 weeks. Yay! Sweet farmbabe. Who thinks it's a boy? Who thinks it's a girl? We can find out in about 5-6 weeks. Kurt's decided he thinks he wants to find out...but we'll see :)
Today, I had a complaint you couldn't see "me" in the last blog pic. So true! Here's a pic from tonight, taken by big sis Bella. Brace yourself. LOL! Again, sorry for the blackberry pic. I still need to go to Camera Corner and get a cable for my real camera! Okay, no more stalling...here it is, as promised:
OMG, I'm only 15 weeks!!! I wasn't this big with Bella baby at 20 weeks. Yikes!
Here's what sweet babe is up to lately, courtesy of BabyCenter.com:
Your pregnancy: 15 weeks
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.")
How your life's changing:You've probably gained about 5 pounds by now (a little more or less is fine, too) and are well into the swing of your pregnancy, but you may still be surprised by an unexpected symptom now and then. If your nose is stuffed up, for instance, you can probably chalk it up to the combined effect of hormonal changes and increased blood flow to your mucous membranes. This condition is so common, there's even a name for it: "rhinitis of pregnancy." Some pregnant women also suffer nosebleeds as a result of increased blood volume and blood vessel expansion in the nose.If you're having amniocentesis, it'll most likely happen between now and 18 weeks. This test can identify hundreds of genetic and chromosomal disorders. If you're getting very anxious while waiting for the results, it may help to know that most women who undergo amniocentesis get good news about their babies — bringing welcome relief from their worries.Don't be surprised if you and your partner are feeling a little stressed out these days. Many pregnant couples worry about their baby's health and how they'll handle the changes ahead. But with physical discomforts on the wane and energy on the rise, this is also a wonderful trimester for most women.
I'm at the stage where I'm like OMG, is my body SERIOUSLY creating a human...really? It's totally surreal at times, especially when I read things like the babycenter updates. I just put my hand on "Kevin" (my huge tummy) and wish my life away to Jan. 3rd :) It definitely reminds me how lucky we are to have Belle and "Kevin" and makes me so sad for people who try soooo hard but can't experience pregnancy for themselves. And it makes me sooo sad for the sweet babies that have mommies that don't want them and don't care. Anyway - preggo melancholiness done! Back to the funny stuff like what I've been eating (aka everything but meat)!
Well, my fruit midnight munches have all but subsided. I relapse now and again but no more getting up at 12:00 a.m. or 1 a.m. and eating peaches. This was probably healthy, food-wise, but preggo mama needs her sleep. I still enjoy eating random things! For example, I just ate some au gratin pototoes sprinkled with jalenpeno chips, and now Belle and I are going to make Whitey's Peppermint ice cream cones. LOL. I may have a zesty pickle spear (or two) afterwards, who knows! :)
Mucho love to y'all!!!!!!!!!
Love,
Us
