15 Weeks

Looks like we have hit the 15 week mark! According to one website:

"At around 4 inches long, crown to rump, your baby now weighs about 2 1/2 ounces. He's busy inhaling and exhaling amniotic fluid, which will help develop the air sacs in his lungs. His legs are growing longer than his arms now, and he can move all his joints and limbs. That means his hands are more functional, too. Sweat glands are appearing, and although his eyelids are fused shut, he can sense light. If you shine a flashlight at your tummy, he's likely to move away from the beam. There's not much for your baby to taste at this point, but his taste buds are beginning to form."

Great. Now Corey is going to be chasing me around with a flashlight and asking me how the sweaty baby is doing. I'm still not showing a whole lot, and people don't know I'm pregnant unless I tell them. I have read that some people don't "pop out" until they are 5 or 6 months pregnant with their first child, so I must be one of those "lucky"(?) people.
