Week 16
Baby Changes: 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.
Best Moment this Week: This was a pretty rough week with Sawyer being sick almost the entire time Casey was gone on mission trip. In addition to not feeling well she was super clingy because he was gone and also very agitated and cranky. However, an upside was one night when Sawyer got in a super good mood for a little while and danced all around the living room with me. She was cracking me up! She's definitely a joy when she's feeling well! :)
Gender: I'm still waiting to find out… :)
Movement: Been feeling the baby move some everyday especially when I sit down or lay down.
Food Craving: tomatoes, fruit, dried fruit
Sleep: been sleeping pretty well and taking several naps whenever Sawyer sleeps.
What I am looking forward to: my doctor appointment on Tuesday!! We get a sonogram and find out the gender. I am not finding out at the appointment, but instead doing a little something special and will announce it on my blog Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. :)
Pregnant Belly: My belly has gotten a big growth spurt this week and Casey even thought it looked a lot bigger in the 6 days that he was out of town. I like finally having a little pregnant belly and not just feeling fat. :)
