15 Week Update

15 Week Belly Picture

Well, a lot has happened this week, I managed to make it into the Emergency room twice (read previous posts) and I am on antibiotics right now hopefully making everything better. As far as pregnancy goes, I actually lost 5 lbs this week so there still really isn't much to see although Mark thinks there is! He touches my belly in the mornings while we are in bed and he says he can tell that there's a difference now! He can feel my uterus! He even showed me where it was showing, (right below my belly button). I feel like such a bad mommy because I can't feel or see anything yet. I still think it's bloat, yet he says it feels a lot different now... "Firmer" to be exact! I have also developed a new symptom... I think. I have had a lot of pain in my legs, mostly my calf's for about 3 days now. They are so sore, it seems like I have been working out all day and I know that's not the case. I have also "unfortunately" been puking/gagging a lot more this week, part of it I think is the antibiotics I am on, but a lot of food is grossing me out. On a positive note, I am happy to be 4 days short of 4 months already! Wow... It is amazing how time flies!

Baby at 15 Weeks

Continuing the march towards normal proportions, baby's legs now out measure the arms, and, finally, all four limbs have functional joints. The baby is squirming and wiggling like crazy down in the womb, thought most of the movements probably still can't be felt.
