15 Weeks

Although I may not notice it, my little one is frequently getting the hiccups! I've gained no weight up until now, which is perfect, based on my pre-pregnancy weight. The baby weighs only about 2.5oz, it's about 4 inches long now, from head to bum. It's legs are growing longer than it's arms, has fully formed fingernails, and is capable of moving it's limbs. If we wanted to find out the sex of the baby we may be able to now, as the external sex organs are developed at this point.

This is generally when the baby starts moving around, so I should be able to feel him or her soon! They say first time moms are generally later, because they don't know what the feeling is like, so you may mistake it for a rumbling stomach! I've felt a couple rumblings, but Rob insists that if you're not sure, it doesn't count!

At 15 weeks, we've only got another 25 to go. We're remarkably close to the half way point, which is really exciting! I can't wait to meet our little one and see if we've got a beautiful baby girl or boy! I'll be honest, i didn't want to know the sex - I KNOW I'll survive just preparing for baby. But that being said, I've booked my 19 week ultrasound, and I'm thinking maybe, just maybe I DO want to know.... It's very important to myself (and my birth plan) that we don't find out, as I want to have those first few moments after birth to be our surprise time. But man would I love to know if I'm going to have a son or daughter!

More to come later - I've got to shop for a Maternity jacket!
