Week 16 Update

Yesterday's doctor appointment went great!  Except for the fact that Jase and I have been sick since last week.  The verdict: Walking Pneumonia.  But we both got Z Packs and are hoping to feel better soon!

Baby's heart rate this week was 146.  That's a LOT different than the 170 reading we got last time.  She assured me it was normal for it to jump around.  So, everybody that was calling "girl" after my last visit might be changing their vote.  

(I'm still secretly hoping for a boy - but, of course, I'll be happy either way.)

Baby this week:
-Baby's getting ready for a major growth spurt.  In the next few weeks, baby will double in size and gain several inches in length!
-Right now, it's about the size of an avocado - 4 1/2 inches from head to rump and 3 1/2 ounces.
-Eyes and ears have moved much closer to their final position.
-Baby has started growing toenails, and hair patterns are forming on his bald little scalp.


Mommy this week:

Not much change... just a little weight gain.
Doctor's scales said 5 pounds.  I can live with that!


 EXCITING NEWS:  Ultrasound in 3 weeks to find out what the little munchkin is!!!
