15 wks!

Baby is the size of a large orange today



 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 the tummy, for instance, she's likely to move away from the beam....THAT IS TOO COOL!!!!!! There's not much for baby to taste at this point, but she is forming taste buds. Finally, if you were to 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.") CLEARLY WE ALREADY KNOW BABY CJ IS A GIRL..WHOOP!



24 weeks to go until 39 weeks planned "D" day IF she stays put...PLEASE....My little bear stay in there until at least April 1st!!! It's insane to think she could be born and live from christmas eve when she will be 24 wks (although she may measure 24 wks on 18 december!) Christmas eve is only 9 weeks away!!!! It was longer than that (a month longer!) than that since Portugal with my family and that feels like yesterday!!! My gut says she is coming in March...I was always told I would have a baby on March 26th, And weirdly I have been dreaming 25 March, 29 March and April 1... so we will see...That wouldn't be TOO early but Ideally she would hang on a little bit longer!
