15 weeks!

Hello family and friends! I hope you are all having a nice and relaxing weekend. I wish I could say life is super exciting here in AZ but it's been a little boring lately. I'm super busy with work and so is Bran so by the time the weekend comes we're both ready for some relaxation. I'm trying to take advantage of naps and movies on the weekends as long as I can! One thing Rocco and I have in common is that we both love to sunbath! Yesterday the temperature got up to 77* and I had a chance to lay out in the sun :) The only creepy thing was our foreclosed house next door had some guys working on the roof so it got a bit awkard in my bikini and I had to cut the tanning session short...oh well! Here is a pic of what I'm looking like this week and a picture of my precious first born (Rocco!)

Rocco wanted to be apart of the photo shoot!

Doctor says baby is healthy an I've gained exactly how much I should :)



Size and growth of our baby: Baby is now the size of an APPLE!

Your growing baby now measures about 4 inches long, crown to rump, and weighs in at about 2 1/2 ounces. 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 your tummy, for instance, she's likely to move away from the beam. There's not much for your baby to taste at this point, but she is forming taste buds. Finally, if you 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.")
