15 Weeks!!!

Another week has flown by! I cannot believe I am already 15 weeks.  At times this pregnancy seems to drag by but most of the time it passes right by me!

This week I will have to say that I have felt pretty good.  I have had a couple bouts of nauseousness, but no vomiting! Thank goodness! Besides having a dull headaches most of the time, having a sore throat and my allergies going crazy, this has been a better week.  I have had more of an appetite and was really looking forward to Easter dinner! I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter with their family.

On Easter Sunday, I was sitting on the couch and I felt this thump in my belly! It was no doubt the baby! It brought tears to my eyes! Although it is not regular, it was just what I needed that day, because my allergies had me down and not feeling really good and feeling that sweet little thump was exactly what I needed!

This week the baby's legs are growing longer than it's arms and the baby can move all of their joints and limbs. The baby's taste buds are also forming! Another amazing fact that I read was that the baby can sense light even though the eyelids are fused shut.  They said that if you shine a flashlight at your tummy the baby is likely to move away from the light.  It amazes me that this tiny little baby can do so much already! I look forward to reading what my baby is up to each week!

Here are my 15 week highlights!
