16

This week, Baby Girl D is the size of an avocado.

How far along: 16 weeks
Net weight gain/loss: up about 7-8 lbs.
Maternity clothes: wearing the BeBand…things are getting really snug, but I’m just not really into the maternity clothes yet.
Stretch marks: No (and let’s pray for none!!)
Belly button: innie
Sleep: Still interrupted every couple of hours for a bathroom break (Although Friday night, I slept all night!!! Maybe it was b/c I didn’t go to sleep until about 1 am…we had a far away ballgame!)
Baby movement: Not yet
Food cravings: Still crackers & cheese
Food aversions: No…
What I miss: Sleeping on my stomach!
Looking forward to: Picking out bedding and furniture!
Best moment this week: Seeing our baby girl on the ultrasound!! She was flipping and turning and moving those arms…it was awesome!! We got to see her face in 4D, but she kept her hand in front of it most of the time.
Milestones: Baby Girl D can hear us talk to her now! Her legs are much more developed this week. Baby’s ears are close to their final position and the patterning of her scalp has begun, though her locks aren't recognizable yet. She’s starting to grow eyebrow and lashes, too. She's even started to grow toenails. Her taste buds are forming and she will stop swallowing if she tastes something bitter. There's a lot happening inside, too. Her heart is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood each day, and this amount will continue to increase as baby continues to develop. In the next few weeks, she will double her weight and add inches to her length.
