175 Days to Go!

Today I had my 15 week appointment, and baby Grate is doing well! The doctor said that everything looks great and that we are right on track! The baby's heartbeat was high 150s to 160. After he was finished poking around on my belly and listening to the heartbeat, he asked me if I had any "maternal instincts" of what kind of baby we are having. I told him that I have a feeling its a girl, he said, "I agree with you.... I don't know why but I do!"

We scheduled the ultrasound for Monday July 18th, but before that I have my next OB appointment on July 13th. I also received the pre-admission stuff for the hospital..... ALREADY?? We already have some information to fill out for the baby's birth certificate!! WOW!!!

Baby is growing
s/he is about the size of an apple and weighs 2 &1/2 ounces
s/he is about 4 inches long
The baby is  now able to sense light, if we put a flashlight on my belly it would probably move away from the beam.

Mommy is growing
I have gained a total of 2.8 pounds which is pretty good, anywhere from 3-7 is normal
I have noticed that I am hungry all the time, I even wake up at 3am feeling like I have not eaten all day!!
I have been exhausted, even more so than I was before, this past Sunday I fell asleep on a friends couch, mid conversation!!!

Here I am the top picture is me today at 15 weeks and the bottom is me at 9 weeks!!
