16 weeks

Today marks the day of 16 Weeks!!! As Spencer pointed out four more weeks and we are half way there! Crazy! It has gone so fast, and yet so slow!

Here is what it happening at 16 weeks:

Baby:
Your baby now weighs in at a whopping three to five ounces, and he's four to five inches in length. The bones that are now in place in his ears means he can probably hear your voice as you talk to your partner and pals and sing in the car. While he’s getting used to your voice, the tiny muscles in his body, especially the ones in his back, are gaining strength, so he can straighten out a little more. And thanks to his developing facial muscles, your baby is capable of making a few expressive frowns and squints, even at this early stage. (Don’t worry, those frowns have nothing to do with the sound of your voice!) And his eyes are finally working, making small side-to-side movements and perceiving light (although the eyelids are still sealed). Peekaboo! 



Mommy:
  • I have had  a few people commenting lately that it looks like I am starting to show.. although my waist doesn't seem to get any bigger when i measure it.
  • My headaches have not gone away, but luckily the all day sickness and throwing up that comes with it has not shown its face in awhile. Thank goodness!
  • I haven't had weird cravings yet. I just still love steak!
  • I don't know if I have gained any weight, since we don't have a scale at home, I guess I will see at the Doctors next week
