How far along: 16 weeks - 4 months!
Baby's size: an avacado; 4.5 inches long, and 3.5oz.
What Munchkin is up to (according to Babycenter.com):
Get ready for a growth spurt. In the next few weeks, your baby will double his weight and add inches to his length. 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.
Symptoms: migraines!
Total Weight Gain: forgot to weigh myself this week
Best moment since last update: Derek felt the baby move!!
Movement: Yes! Especially when we sit down and relax for the evening
Food cravings: nothing specific this week
What I miss: sleeping on my stomach
What I'm looking forward to: our next doctor's visit and scheduling our second trimester ultrasound
