15 weeks!

15 weeks today! Time is sure flying by! I still can't believe I'm carrying a baby the size of a navel orange now! Where is it hiding? I still don't really notice a baby bump yet. I listened to the heart-rate with my fetal doppler today. HR was around 156. It's been hanging around 150-160's since about week 10. Still no odd cravings or anything. Sometimes it worries me a little. But I am a worrier. I'm excited for my 18 week ultrasound! Only 3 weeks till find out if it's a boy or girl! :)

According to baby center:

Your growing baby now measures about 4 inches long, crown to rump, and weighs in at about 2 1/2 ounces (about the size of an apple). She's busy moving amniotic fluid through her nose and upper respiratory tract, which helps the primitive air sacs in her lungs begin to develop. Her legs are growing longer than her arms now, and she can move all of her joints and limbs. Although her eyelids are still fused shut, she can sense light. If you shine a flashlight at your tummy, for instance, she's likely to move away from the beam. There's not much for your baby to taste at this point, but she is forming taste buds. Finally, if you have an ultrasound this week, you may be able to find out whether your baby's a boy or a girl! (Don't be too disappointed if it remains a mystery, though. Nailing down your baby's sex depends on the clarity of the picture and on your baby's position. He or she may be modestly curled up or turned in such a way as to "hide the goods.")

 According to TheBump.com, baby is the size of a navel orange:
