Week 15 - Our Kit Kat

Hey All, so sorry I missed the update on week 14, it's been a little hectic lately.  First of all, heard little baby's heartbeat today at 155 bpm and it was a strong heartbeat :-). We are officially in the second trimester (or as Luke likes to call it the second semester). Here's what is going on with the little munchkin this week at 15 weeks.

"Baby's head is now resting on his well-formed neck instead of directly on his shoulders like Igor. He's beginning to grow eyebrows and eyelashes this week. (All the better to give you that "Mom, you're crazy" look when he's a teenager.) The hair on the head also begins to grow and, with some creative styling, you'll be able to turn those locks into a Maddox Jolie-Pitt faux-hawk some day. <---with Donna's help of course!

Although baby's eyes are sealed shut, he's now able to sense light. His eyes and ears finally look like real baby features now. As your baby practices sucking and swallowing actions, he may actually hiccup. You'll know he's had one too many shots of amniotic fluid by the steady thump-thump you feel.

Over the next month, baby will grow faster than ever, so make sure you load up on enough nutritious food and fluids to support his growth. Your baby now measures nearly 4 inches, about the size of a Kit Kat "finger" (regular-size, not the Big one you get at the movies), and weighs almost 2 ounces."

I haven't gained much weight so the picture from last time is what I still look like. Although my appetite has increased definitely this week so I doubt I can stay this skinny much longer. Enjoying that my morning sickness has decreased this week and I'm able to function a little more now and eat more! Will update soon!
