Week 15

I've gained a few pounds and have definitely noticed it by my tight fitting clothes. Looks like I may have to make a few maternity purchases soon.

Here's what's happening with the baby this week: (www.amazingpregnancy.com)
Fine hair is starting to cover baby this week. It's called lanugo. Bones are getting harder and retaining calcium. (Be sure to get your daily allowance of calcium in!!) Baby can suck his thumb now, and many moms to be, have seen them doing this on ultrasounds. Baby's skin is still very thin, and the blood vessels can be seen through it. By the end of this week, your baby is about 4 inches long and weighs 1.75 ounces.
