16 weeks

How Far Along: 16 weeks
Size of baby: According to babycenter.com the baby is about the size of an avocado.
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.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: +8 pounds.
Maternity Clothes: i am bought one pair of maternity jeans but i haven't worn them yet and i plan to do some more shopping this weekend.
Gender: still boy... :)
Movement: I think I may actually be feeling something but nothing definitive yet.
Sleep: Okay i haven't been napping this week after work at all which is nice because i feel like i get more stuff done.
Symptoms: I've felt pretty good this week just really hungry. Still some headaches but nothing too bad.
Cravings: salads and soup. i still have an aversion to fish.
Best Moment this week: purchasing the bedding for the nursery.
What I am looking forward to: my Dr's appointment tomorrow.
