Our growing baby now measures about 4 inches long, crown to rump, and weighs about 2 1/2 ounces. At this point, our baby will probably begin moving amniotic fluid through the nose and upper respiratory tract, which helps the primitive air sacs in the lungs develop. Our baby's legs are growing longer than the arms now, and he or she can move all of the joints and limbs. Although our baby's eyelids are still fused shut, he or she can sense light. If I were to shine a flashlight at my tummy, for instance, the baby would likely move away from the beam. There's not much for our baby to taste at this point, but he or she is forming taste buds.
My next appointment is Monday morning, and I'm hoping that we'll get to schedule the ultrasound that will reveal our baby's gender!
I attempted to take a picture of myself last night so you could see how my tummy is starting to poke out a little now! (Don't laugh!) ;)
Me 15 weeks pregnant

So very cute! How I wish I had your baby belly! :-)
not that I wish I had a baby in my belly, I wish that my belly was as small as your baby belly is...just wanted to clarify that previous comment!!!
Hahaha! Debbie, you are so funny! I wish we were still back there so I could be encouraged by all your stories of how you loved being pregnant! You are such a blessing! :)
ok, if you must, but maybe one of the future baby's gender will be a surprise! It is soooo fun! Glad you have a midwife though. Will she let Jordon help catch the baby?? Keep up the good work on growing that baby.
In Him,
Tonya
