First I would like to point out that if you click on the widget so that it shows days so far, it says that I have been pregnant for 100 days. Pretty cool ay.
You are currently in Week 15
From APA -
What changes are occurring with your body?
The average weight gain at this point in your pregnancy is about 5 pounds. (Both my books at home say 6lbs) You may have gained a little more or a little less, which is completely normal. However, if it is significantly more or less, your doctor may want to discuss your diet at your next prenatal appointment. Changes in the shape of your abdomen may or may not be noticeable to others. You may be able to feel the top of your uterus four to five inches under your belly button.
How big is your baby?
By the end of this week, your baby is 5 inches long and weighs a whole 2 ounces.
What is happening with your baby?
Your baby’s skin is very thin, and his/her blood vessels can actually be seen through the skin. Your baby’s ears are continuing to develop externally and continue to look more like normal ears. Your baby’s eyes are continuing to move towards the nose from the sides of his/her head. The baby’s bones are beginning to ossify, which means that if an x-ray was taken the skeleton would be visible. Babies at this age have also been caught sucking their thumbs on ultrasound pictures. (I think the dr pointed out that he was doing this at the 10 week ultrasound)
From Webmd -
Your fetus body is covered by an ultrafine hair, called lanugo, which is usually shed by birth. Eyebrows and hair on the top of the head are beginning to grow and his bones are getting harder.
