Week 16=Avocado Baby!

Well, Im 16 weeks, 4 days! It seems like its going by so fast! I've been feeling extremely tired, which is the hardest part...so far! I've also begun to grow...I finally have a little bump! YAY! I'll post a picture in a couple of weeks so you all can see:)

I want to keep all of you informed, so this is whats going on with Baby Svoboda this week:

"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 our baby continues to develop." -babycenter.com

Here is a picture of an avocado compared with a quarter, just so you get an idea of how big our baby is:)


I also found this really cute cartoon...This shows exactly how i've been feeling:)



Only 19 days until we find out if its a boy or girl:)
yay...good bye for now! love you all
