Pregnancy Survey~ 16 weeks

How Far Along: 16 weeks

Size of baby: 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. I also read that they can start hearing you so time to start talking to baby. 

Total Weight Gain/Loss: According to my scale, my weight is the same as last week.

Maternity Clothes: Yes and yes : )

Movement: YES!! I had a massage on Friday and as I was laying there enjoying my massage, I felt little flutters!! It has not been consistent but I have felt some here and there!

Gender: Guessing girl

What I miss: Fountain Diet Coke

Sleep: Getting up about 1 time per night to use the bathroom.

Symptoms: Tired in the evenings

Cravings: Frozen yogurt and sweets

Belly button in or out? In

Pregnancy Survey~ 15 weeks

How Far Along: 15 weeks

Size of baby: Your growing baby now measures about 4 inches long, crown to rump, and weighs in at about 2 1/2 ounces (about the size of an apple). She's busy moving amniotic fluid through her nose and upper respiratory tract, which helps the primitive air sacs in her lungs begin to develop. Her legs are growing longer than her arms now, and she can move all of her joints and limbs.
