Week 15: Why hello baby bump!
Ok, although it's tiny, it's there! Although most days in normal wear, I feel more bloated than pregnant and feel as though I look that way too. Talk about an awkward stage. Much like my teen years, growing from preteen to young adult - yeesh. Even though it may not seem like it, my clothes have gotten tighter over the past few months. But I'm afraid to say it is not from a growing baby, but those pesky months of morning sickness when I did nothing but lay around and eat comfort food (when I could get it down). So, I'm easing my way back into easy workouts and chomping down on those fruits and veggies!! I even signed up for a prenatal yoga class once a week, and let me tell ya, I can sure tell this girl hasn't done much moving these past months! Now no worries, I'm not pushing myself, just trying my best at staying healthy!
As far as I know, our little button is a healthy busy bee. He/she is about 4 inches long and weighs about 2 1/2 ounces - about the size of an apple. He/she is moving amniotic fluid through the nose and upper respiratory tract, which helps the primitive air sacs in the lungs begin to develop. The legs are growing longer than the arms now, and baby can move all of his/her joints and limbs. Although the eyes are fused shut, bean can sense light. If you shine a flashlight at my tummy, for instance, our baby's likely to move away from the beam. Pretty cool, huh?!
