baby update 1

I had an ob check-up yesterday. The doc just listened for the baby's heartbeat and said everything sounded fine. I will have to get my glucose testing done in a few weeks to see if I have gestational diabetes. And we should find out the sex of the baby around the middle of next month. Exciting times!

Here's a brief synopsis on how Baby Davidson is doing now at 15 weeks:

Your baby weighs about 1 3/4 ounces and measures between 4 1/2 inches from crown to rump. Fine, downy hair (called lanugo), which he'll shed before birth, grows on his body. Hair is sprouting on top of his head, too, although whatever color it is may change. His eyebrows have begun to fill in. Your baby hiccups, but he can't yet make a sound because his trachea is still filled with fluid, not air. The intestinal tract continues to develop.
