I'm a lemon this week! Not much to report actually. Things are moving along well. For the most part I'm feeling great although I've been pretty tired lately...most likely due to some late nights.
I think I've been feeling little baby flutters for the last couple of days. I'm not positive...it is pretty early still....but sometimes it feels like a little roll then bubbles popping. A couple times it made me laugh out loud. OR, it could just be gas?! : P I guess the little kicks will just get stronger to the point it becomes obviously NOT gas!
I've been having some back/pelvis pain that was making me waddle like a pregnant duck WAY before my time. I decided to go back to the Chiropractor to see if he could offer some relief. He said it was a sprain of my sacroiliac joint and most likely occurred due to the pregnancy hormone "Relaxin". Its job is noble...to prepare the pelvis for delivery...but often causes injuries. We will just keep an eye on it throughout the pregnancy so that it doesn't cause me grief towards the end.
This coming Monday I have my second prenatal screening blood test. I'll be 15 weeks 4 days. Hopefully the results will be ready by my next ObGyn appointment in late July. Fingers crossed for good news.
What is new with baby this week? "Baby is 3 ½ inches long, crown to rump (head to butt) and weighs about 1 ½ ounces. Her skin is very translucent, although she is beginning to develop a downy, very fine hair called lanugo over her body for insulation. She will have this hair until she develops enough fat deposits to regulate her temperature, usually shortly before she’s born. This week, baby is strengthening her muscles by moving and kicking a little more. She is becoming more flexible and stronger every day. She is even practicing moving her facial muscles, as she frowns, grimaces, and squints. Baby is in the midst of an impressive growth spurt. Within the next month or two, she will triple in length and grow to reach the one-pound mark."
