I am now in the 16th week of my pregnancy! Baby B is about the size of an avocado... 4.5 inches long and 3.5 ounces. Within the next few weeks baby is supposed to double in size! Hello growth spurt! Baby B's legs are more developed this week and his/her head sits more upright on his/her shoulders. Also, the eyes and ears are moving closer to their final positions. The patterning of the scalp has begun... wonder if baby's hair will grow clockwise or counterclockwise? Maybe it will just stick straight up like Matt's hair! Toenails growing and Baby B's little heart is already pumping 25 quarts of blood per day! This little baby has my heart! I treasure my baby. This is one avocado we will not be smashing into guacamole.
In other news: friends are starting to get a little freaked out by seeing me with a belly. I've always had a super flat tummy, so people are not used to seeing me with a little something in the front. It's cute! I love it! Even though it isn't much... it's there. And it continues to expand. I have now gained a total of 6 pounds. One of my friends poked my belly and was a little weirded out by how firm it was. He was like... "UGH! It's supposed to be squishy!" We all laughed.
Did I mention I love being pregnant? And I love this baby! I am enjoying every minute of this experience!
