"...It's the revelation of a new life. Your body changes to meet your baby's needs. There's the swelling readiness of your breasts, the expanding cradle of your womb. You are beautiful, as lovely as a tree that is heavy with fruit." Sorry, La Leche League, but in my grumpy state, your poetic prose failed to make me whip out my microphone-hairbrush, and break out w/ Carole King's Natural Woman.
current mood: grouchy
babycenter week 15:
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.

...and the hemorrhoids which plague your pregnant rectal region are like unto the red berries of an angry holly bush. Also love to gaze upon.
I hope you're escaping 'roid rage *heart*
