15 Weeks

The fourth month has been good to me so far.  I haven't had feelings of nauseousness at night (although I have still been eating a bowl of cereal fairly regularly around 8:30 pm).  My most impactful symptom remains waking up 2-3 times each night to empty my pouch.  This isn't painful, just slightly annoying.  

This week Muffin is the size of a navel orange (4.5 inches long and 2-3 ounces in weight).  His or her eyes are ears are properly positioned and Muffin is practicing breathing, sucking, and swallowing motions.  I haven't felt any movement yet, but the baby is kicking, curling fingers and toes, and tumbling around.  

Our next OB appointment is this Tuesday.  I'm expecting a routine appointment of weight, maybe the first fundal measurement(?) and listening to the baby's heart beat.  Our next ultrasound will be after my January OB appointment, so we'll have to wait until then to see Muffin again.
