16 weeks......Getting ready for a Growth Spurt!!!!

''Get ready for a growth spurt. In the next few weeks, your baby will double his weight and ass 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 deceloped, 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, tough 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.''

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my baby so much!!!  I can't wait to get every weekly update on how the baby is growing and learning about each little development that is happening--truly amazing! I can't wait for my 18 week scan.. In 2 weeks I will find out the gender! That's amazing. My belly has definitely grown. If I wear baggy shirts you can't really tell I'm pregnant.
