15 week update

We were supposed to go to the doctor on Monday but the doctor's office called two hours before our appointment to re-schedule. There was an emergency at the hospital so my doctor had to cancel all of his late afternoon appointments. We are re-scheduled for Friday the 14th at 3:15 p.m. If he/she is cooperating during the ultrasound, we will hopefully be able to announce if we are having a boy or a girl! =)

Here is what babycenter.com says about how our baby is developing:

Your pregnancy: 15 weeks
How your baby's growing:Your growing baby now measures about 4 inches long, crown to rump, and weighs in at about 2 1/2 ounces (about the size of an apple). She's busy moving amniotic fluid through her nose and upper respiratory tract, which helps the primitive air sacs in her lungs begin to develop. Her 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. There's not much for your baby to taste at this point, but she is forming taste buds. Finally, if you have an ultrasound this week, you may be able to find out whether your baby's a boy or a girl! (Don't be too disappointed if it remains a mystery, though. Nailing down your baby's sex depends on the clarity of the picture and on your baby's position. He or she may be modestly curled up or turned in such a way as to "hide the goods.")

Congratulations to Blaire & Matt LaVoy!!!! Blaire had a beautiful baby girl, Harper, on Friday November 7th! Kim and I went to the hospital on Saturday to visit. I didn't have my camera but here is a picture from Alli's camera when she visited on Friday:

Blaire & Harper
What a beautiful Mommy & daughter!

Sean's mom is coming in town this weekend and the kids will be here too. We are having Simon & Ellie's Christmas portraits taken so I will try to take some pictures of them all dressed up. If we have any exciting news on Friday, I will post an announcement after our doctor's appointment!

Love,
Tiffany & Sean
