16 weeks!

Size of Baby:


The baby is the size of a Avocado! And the weight is 5 ounces!

My Body:

Not much changes from last week! Still feel the same,although I have felt a little more energetic, hopefully that will stay for awhile I have lots to do!



Cravings:

I still haven't had any crazy cravings. This weekend I craved smoothies and those swiss cheese crackers, and crackers and cheese! Alot of dairy! Which kinda sucks because I think I might have a slight case of Lactose Intolernce! But since I have been pregnant, it has not been that bad!

Movement:

Is still feel these flutters, but I don't know if it is my imaganation or if it is the real thing.

The Inside Story:

The baby's muscles and bones are all in place and it's nervous system is starting to exert control. The baby is attached to the placenta by his lifeline which is the umbilical cord and the cord is growing stronger and thicker as the baby's needs increase. Blood is pulsing through the cord which brings nutrients to the baby and helping to remove the toxinx from the amniotic fluid, which fills the baby's trachea each time the baby opens it's mouth. The placenta has grown too. It has grown because it has to accommodate the 1000's of blood vessels that are working hard to exchange nutrients and oxygen between your body and the baby's!

I cannot believe that a little miracle is growing inside of me! When I was pregnant with Hayden I thought I don't know if I could ever be pregnant again because all my love will be gone because of the amount of love I had for Hayden! But that is not true, the love I have for this child is the same as I had for Hayden!
