'New Arrival'

It is so amazing to fathom that i tiny little baby is growing inside of me! As of this coming Sunday I will be 15 weeks into the pregnancy. Amazing, I feel several changes within myself but even more incredible is the rapid rate in which little 'button' (our nickname for the bub) is growing.

About me; I have a tiny, little but visable bump (let's just say a little more than I have ever had!), I am slowly coming out of morning sickness, I find that I have my good days and my bad days. I am always rushing to the bathroom (so very frustrating for both me and Vaughn, poor guy) and I am also seeing a change in my skin and of course my body weight. Vaughn still finds it all hard to comprehend as he is not the one carrying the baby, or feeling all of the side effects. Although I am sure that he is feeling my mood swings (once again, poor guy).

About bub; they say that at this stage the baby is quite active even though I am not able to feel anything, it is kicking and stretching away. Bub can bend its arms at the elbow, and already has wrists and ankles, as well as tiony fingernails. I must say that they must be so so small. As the picture of the ultrascreen the baby was only 3.89cm long from rump to head. This photo was taken at 10.5 weeks. The babies fingers and toes have now seperated and they are now distinct, bub is also developing genitals inside the body and they usually are visible at about 16 weeks, but I have my next scan at about 18 weeks.

Well that should be enough information to get you thinking about the cycle of life. I can tell you that everytime that i read more information on the growing baby and more books I am just blown away at the thought of it all. It truly is a miracle.



Till next time
Stay safe :)
