16 Weeks


Can't believe we are almost half way through our pregnancy (only 4 weeks to go!).  It seems like time has flown and gone by so slow at the same time. 

This weekend we were very productive in getting the baby room cleaned out.  It's almost time to tear up the carpet. Can't wait to post pictures! This coming up weekend is TPC, so it will be a fun, relaxing weekend!

I think BW grew a lot this past week, he gave me lots of growing pains, but I love it!  There have been a couple of times, I thought I felt him (or HER!) move, but still not sure.
I also had a few "nervous nelly" days, but Adam was right there to calm me down and remind me everything is going great. 

Mood: Had some up days and down days.

Energy: I have been fine most of the week, but am VERY tired today.  I felt like I slept well last night, but still could definitely go to sleep right now!

Cravings: Nothing unusual!

Nausea: None this week, but appetite has picked up.

Weight Gain: 5 pounds

BW1 this week (per BabyCenter):
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.
