I love this cartoon! While I haven't gone quite that berserk, I have been madly craving vinegar!! Pickles, pickled veggies, pickled beets, pickled eggs, salt and vinegar chips...oil and vinegar salad dressing, stuffed olives, just to name a few!
I am knocking on wood -- I think I am finally rid of my bladder infection!!! Thank goodness. Bladder infections are no fun, especially when pregnant. I will have a urinalysis tomorrow to be sure the bacteria count is down or preferably ZERO! I am currently taking Macrobid -- which is not a fun pill. It makes me sleepy, dizzy and sick to my stomach (and no, it's not all of the vinegar...LOL). Two more days of pills left.

15 weeks:
At around 4 inches long, crown to rump, your baby now weighs about 2 1/2 ounces. He's busy inhaling and exhaling amniotic fluid, which will help develop the air sacs in his lungs. His legs are growing longer than his arms now, and he can move all his joints and limbs. That means his hands are more functional, too. Sweat glands are appearing, and although his eyelids are fused shut, he can sense light. If you shine a flashlight at your tummy, he's likely to move away from the beam. There's not much for your baby to taste at this point, but his taste buds are beginning to form. And if you have an ultrasound, you may be able to find out whether your baby's a boy or girl! (Don't be disappointed if it remains a mystery, though. Nailing down the gender depends somewhat on how clear the picture is and the position of your baby during the ultrasound; he may be curled or turned in such a way as to keep you in suspense.)
I will have another update tomorrow after my MFM appointment! I don't know if they are planning an ultrasound or not -- I know we are going to discuss the injections which we've decided against, and I will be getting the quad marker screening done at the lab (for genetics).
Till tomorrow!
Hi Little Bean, It's me, Grammie! We are so excited
ReplyDeleteand anxious for you to enter this great, big world,
just not too early like your big brother!!! I'll tell
you a little secret---the day that Mommy and Daddy
told Papa and myself that you were on your way, I
already knew!! You see, I was standing behind Mommy as
she was getting your big brother Jack out of the van
and for some reason (and not that I normally look at
your Mommys rear side) I thought, Hmmmm, I think she's
pregnant! She just had that "look" about her. And then
when I found out it was true, well, words cannot
explain how excited I was.
Be easy on Mommy and keep on growing. AND---remember
when they do the ultrasound, face the camera,
PLEASE!!!!!
Love Grammie
