Its a lemon

Well, if you haven't already figured out from my last two posts, we are expecting. Seth thinks its a boy, I think it a girl but really have no preference. Amazingly enough, I am almost to 15 weeks now and our baby is the size of a lemon! Soon we will graduate to the size of a naval orange, then an avocado, and so on until we reach the size of a watermelon. I am a member of thebump.com which is where I found this "How big is baby" according to fruits and veggies, its actually quite funny.
Today we went in to the doctors to get a check-up. The doctor says everything is going well and I have nothing to worry about. I think its weird how easily it came... the whole bit about moms worrying about their children sneaked up on me so unexpectedly. We got an ultrasound and got to see these two little legs kicking like crazy, we've got a runner or a swimmer on our hands thats for sure. I don't have a bump yet but I'm sure it'll show up soon enough.


Your adorable little fetus is busy with thumb sucking, toe wiggling, and (not so cute but equally amazing) making urine and breathing amniotic fluid as the liver, kidneys and spleen continue to develop. Lanugo (thin, downy hair) is growing all over the body for warmth.
