Week 15- Whats goin on with baby/ a belly pic/ shopping for a swimsuit!

At week fifteen the baby will measure in approximately 4” long and about 1-.3/4 ounces. The baby will develop what is called Lanugo, this happens when the red and wrinkles head becomes covered with fine hairs. Like each pregnancy is different, each baby develops differently in the uterus. The hair will help the baby maintain a constant body temperature. But the Lanugo will disappear when the baby is born.
By now the baby can swallow food and one of the best parts is that the baby can hear you and hear sounds. So now would be a great time to start talking to the baby. Some new moms will place headphones on their belly so the baby can hear music. Some new moms at this stage may or may not be able to feel their babies move around but the baby’s are more active in the womb now.
The baby’s legs are longer than the arms but now the body is longer than the head. The taste buds are developing and the fingernails and toenails are growing as well. The three bones in the middle ear are harder making improvements in the hearing. The amniotic fluid that surrounds the baby also carries an external sounds that travel to the baby. They can hear prominent sounds like the mother’s heartbeat, stomach and even her voice.

15 weeks!

Shopping for a swimsuit:

Sucked . You would think in Hawaii, since there are a lot of bigger women here that they would make swimsuits that aren't made for stick figures! I was getting more sad as the shopping progressed. I couldn't fit anything! Nothing looked right.. and I was having to look at one piece suits with skirts on the bottom lol.. UGH. We were litterally there for like 2 hours trying to find a swimsuit so we could go to the waterpark the next day.. Needless to say, we gave up and aren't going anyways lol.  We can't afford a 40 dollar swimsuit and than 42 bucks to go swimming for a few hours when we still have SO much to do before i leave! It's so stressful! I wish we could just magically get everything done. But, like the swimsuit.. nothing is going right!

O well. Soon it will be friday and i'll go to the doctor for my 16 week appt and we'll hear the tiny's heartbeat again and make sure he/she is doin good.
