Ah. 15 weeks along, well 15 weeks completed. Yes that's how I'm going about it. Sorry for those that say they're in week 16...it gets confusing to me. Anyways. This. Was. Not.A.Good.Week. Wednesday I was pretty sure I was going to need the ER. I couldn't quit throwing up. It was terrible. I felt like I was going to pop veins in my face it was coming out so hard. I had to work. It took all that I had. I wanted to cry all day. I guess it was harder, because I had been doing so good for a couple of weeks and then WHAM!. Thursday was a little better, I could smile and be some what pleasant. Next week is the U/S! so that helped this week. The weeks are just flying by. It's crazy. Here's the baby this week!
and the info...(isn't it starting to look so human like!)
Your Baby
Although many women don't start feeling the baby move until the 17th week (or later), your baby has been having his own party in the amniotic sac he calls home. If you feel a little flutter in your belly this week, don't discount it as gas or hunger. It could be your babe banging around. Here's more to look forward to:
Baby's head is now resting on his well-formed neck instead of directly on his shoulders like Igor. He's beginning to grow eyebrows and eyelashes this week. (All the better to give you that "Mom, you're crazy" look when he's a teenager.) The hair on the head also begins to grow and, with some creative styling, you'll be able to turn those locks into a Maddox Jolie-Pitt faux-hawk some day.
Although baby's eyes are sealed shut, he's now able to sense light. His eyes and ears finally look like real baby features now. As your baby practices sucking and swallowing actions, he may actually hiccup. You'll know he's had one too many shots of amniotic fluid by the steady thump-thump you feel.
Over the next month, baby will grow faster than ever, so make sure you load up on enough nutritious food and fluids to support his growth. Your baby now measures nearly 4 inches, about the size of a Kit Kat "finger" (regular-size, not the Big one you get at the movies), and weighs almost 2 ounces.
