16 Weeks

How far along: 16 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: +1
Maternity clothes:  Bottoms for my bottom
Sleep: It is getting harder to get comfortable.
Best moment this week: Feeling something while getting ready to go to sleep
Movement:  Flutters or gas, that is the question...
Food cravings:  Nothing, just hungry all the time
Gender:  Boy?  Maybe a girl...  I have no idea
Labor Signs: None
Belly Button in or out: In
What I miss:  Not having to grease up like a little piggy after showers because my skin is so dry.
What I am looking forward to: Getting a baby bump and not looking like I just cleared out a buffet.
Milestones: Four more weeks till twenty, ahhh  



I will post a picture later on today because in the past two weeks we have lost our two computers (when it rains, it pours).  So I am still setting this one up.


Get ready for a growth spurt. In the next few weeks, your baby will double his weight and add inches to his length. Right now, he's about the size of an avocado: 4 1/2 inches long (head to rump) and 3 1/2 ounces. His legs are much more developed, his head is more erect than it has been, and his eyes have moved closer to the front of his head. His ears are close to their final position, too. The patterning of his scalp has begun, though his locks aren't recognizable yet. He's even started growing toenails. And there's a lot happening inside as well. For example, his heart is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood each day, and this amount will continue to increase as your baby continues to develop.


Should I be concerned eating guacamole this week??
