Week 16- Our baby is now over 5 inches long and weighs 3.5 ounces--- about as much as a tube of mascara. That's an avocado I'm holding- the baby is about the same size! This week, tiny bones are forming in the ears, and the baby can now recognize my voice (and daddy's soon, we're going to record him talking!). Eyebrows, lashes, and hair are starting to fill in, and baby is making facial expressions like squinting, yawning and grimacing. The baby's heart now pumps about 25 quarts of blood per day, and the baby's legs are starting to grow longer than the arms! As far as my body goes, my doctor says I look great and my blood pressure and weight are right where they should be. I have heartburn ALL the time, along with a little back pain, but nothing too serious. Frank the cat is still freaked out about sharing me with a baby. See how he keeps jumping in my photos? Silly cat!
