{16 weeks}

i'm feeling good this week, other than hunger pains if i don't eat 3 meals and snack during the day haha all is well. i'm excited to start feeling the baby kick that is always my favorite part! i feel the butterflies and popping type movement and i'm excited for our baby boy to get bigger! :)

How your baby's growing:

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.

here is a layout i made of one of the ultrasound pictures i got the other day. it's a profile shot and couldn't wait to make a page about it!
