15 weeks

Baby's now the size of a naval orange!

Continuing the march toward normal proportions, baby's legs now out-measure his arms. And, finally, all four limbs have functional joints. Your fetus is squirming and wiggling like crazy down in the womb, though you probably can't feel the movements just yet.

Symptoms: Still not much.

Weight: +1 lb (total of +2 over base weight)

Milestones: I think I'm feeling some flutters! I also just started wearing the be band with some pants. I have one pair I can still button though.

Looking forward to: Feeling some real kicks. I'm actually looking forward to getting into maternity clothes. My wardrobe is rather sad looking since I needed new clothes after I had DS. I didn't want to go crazy since I knew I'd be getting pg again. I had 3 sweaters I rotated through all winter. I have much more maternity clothes!

I finally took my first belly pic. Here I am at 15 weeks.

I've been feeling a lot smaller this time around than with my first. Which is surprising since they say you show faster after you've already had one. What do you think?

14 weeks and we've spilled the beans!

On Monday I took my FB off lockdown and spilled the beans using an u/s picture. My original idea was to post a picture of DS is his big brother shirt that our professional photographer took but we still haven't gotten those pictures back :( I'm so excited that our secret is finally out. I was having second thoughts about whether I should have put FB on lockdown (I had quite a few people thinking I was mad at them and just blocked them!) but luckily I did. Today I had someone post that they would have congratulated me last week but she couldn't post on my wall. Phew! We were still in the process of telling people ourselves and we didn't want her spilling the beans for us! She's only 19 and probably wasn't thinking about it.

Baby's now the size of a lemon
Your adorable little fetus is busy with thumb sucking, toe wiggling, (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 her body for warmth.

Symptoms: NONE. Am I really pregnant?

Weight: +1 lb

Milestones: We spilled the beans

Looking forward to: shopping! I need to start looking at double strollers.

12 weeks!

Wow I can't believe 12 weeks is already here. 1 more week and onto 2nd tri I go!

Baby's the size of a plum

As you move into the second trimester, baby shifts into the growth and maturation stage. After weeks in critical development stage, almost all of her systems are fully formed.

Symptoms: I'm still tired but other than that feeling pretty good.

Weight: I haven't been that good and keeping track of my weight. I'm back at my start weight - maybe a little more.

Milestones: Heard the heartbeat on the doppler at our 12 week appointment. Got my maternity clothes out of storage and washed them- still not wearing them yet though.

Looking forward to: Feeling the baby move and our trip to North Carolina!

11 weeks and 12 week appointment!

We just got back from vacation so I'm behind on quite a few things! I'm now 11 weeks and just had my 12 week appointment. I scheduled it a few days early because I want to tell my family and a party on Sunday and wanted confirmation of the heartbeat on the doppler!

Baby is the size of a lime
Your fetus currently enjoys a 1:1 ratio between body and head, and has skin so transparent that blood vessels show right through it. But fingers and toes are no longer webbed, and hair follicles, tooth buds, and nail beds are forming -- setting up a significantly more attractive future.

My 12 week appointment went really well. The first doppler was broken but once the nurse got a working on she found the heartbeat right away. Nice and fast! On Sunday my mom and family will find out about this LO. I can't wait! Then we'll start spilling the beans to close friends.
