15 weeks and an apple

On Friday, Elizabeth was 15 weeks along in the pregnancy. Right now, we are waiting for two ultrasound photos that are on the way to us via snail mail–soooo excited to see them, as they will be the first photos of our baby!!

At 15 weeks, Baby S was about 4 inches long and weighed about 2 and a 1/2 ounces. He or she is about the size of an apple now!! His or her legs are growing longer than the arms and he or she can move joints and limbs. Here is something else I found really cool. Although his or her eyelids are still fused shut, Baby S can sense light. So if Elizabeth were to shine a flashlight at her stomach, Baby S would likely move away from the beam. How cool is that??
