"Your baby's skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone, and the umbilical cord is growing stronger and thicker! Your baby weighs 5 oz and is about 5 inches long from head to bottom. She can move her joints, and sweat glands are starting to develop!"
I am starting my progesterone shots Thursday. I have 1 every week til 34 weeks. Prayerfully, these shots will help me get to full term.
We find out the gender of our baby on Oct 20, Cant wait!!!!!
I am still working and doing well with it!!
The other day, I asked Aaron where his nose is... his answer was "sniff, sniff"!!! LOL
Alex's vocabulary has really expanded. He is always talking and telling me something! Poor child takes after his mother! :)
Hope you all have a great week~!

Week 16!!!
My email this week was interesting.... You can already tell I am pregnant, so this made me feel really good!!! (dont laugh to hard!!)
Get ready for a growth spurt. In the next few weeks, your baby will double his weight and add inches to his length. Right now, hes about the size of an avacado: 41/2 inches long (head to rump) and 31/2 ounces. His legs are much more developed, his head is more erect than it has been, and his eyes have moved closer to the front of his head. His ears are close to their final position too!
This cracked me up! I am already thinking I am pretty big, but the fact that I am gonna get bigger so soon??? hmmm, not sure about that!!! I expected that alittle later!!! hahaahhaha
I go back to the dr Thursday, so We will see how I am doing. The Lord has provided strength to me for the last few days of working. I have had alot of strange hours due to being short staffed. But God has helped and provided.

15 Weeks~
Hey, this week is not much info but it is interesting! :)
The baby now measures about 4 inches, crown to lump! and weighs in at about 2 1/2 inches ( about the size of an apple). The baby is busy moving amniotic fluid through the nose and upper respiratory tract, which helps the primitive air sacs in her lungs begin to develop. The legs are growing longer than her arms now, and she can move all of her joints and limbs. Although her eyelids are still fused shut, she can sense light. If you shine a flashlight at your tummy, for instance, she's likely to move away from the beam.
I go to the dr next Thursday. From there, I will start progesterone shots that are suppose to help prevent preterm labor. I am just praying for no side effects so I can still work. I need to work. I will have these shots from 17-34 weeks! UGH!! Wonder where they insert the needle!?!
Have a great week everyone!!!

Week 14....
This week starts my 2nd trimester~~ I should have more energy, but working at night has kinda wiped that idea out! :) So, this week, the baby cn now squint, frown, grimace, pee, and possibly suck his thumb! thanks to brain impulses, his facial muscles are gettin a workout as his tiny features form one expression after another!!! This baby is now stretching out from head to bottom at 3 1/2 inches long and weighs 1 1/2 ounces!!! This is about the size of a lemon~
Stan is still job hunting. Right now his is flying to Fla. to Adam Linebacks wedding~ He will come back home on Sunday. Please keep praying.
The boys are doing alright. They enjoy staying at Gramma and Grandpa's house! Who doesnt? :)
Hope everyone has a great week! I will try to post a pregnancy pic soon!!
