We went & got some boxes from our local toystore & my previous employer ~ Thankful for a FREE supply of boxes! We are so busy between now & then ~ we are going to try to pack up a box a night or so ~ until we are all packed up!
Baby continues to grow ~ as does my slightly expanding belly. It doesn't look too big yet ~ but feels like I have a blimp belly. This week we get the joy of checking in on baby :) Love my doctor appointment days ~ especially when I get to see our baby & not take care of 40 that aren't mine!
We are at 16 weeks this week ~ baby is the size of an avacado or about the size of your palm (I'm guessing a woman's palm)
My meshed version of the Bump & Baby Center (Ba-Bump) says:
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. Watch what you say... tiny bones forming in baby's ears mean the little one can now pick up your voice. Eyebrows, lashes and hair are starting to fill in, and taste buds are forming
Congratulations on the job! We're excited for ya'll! Thankfully Tulsa is not too far away from your dear family! :-) I hope your packing and moving goes well!
ReplyDeleteThat is so exciting how big Baby Warren is getting! Do you feel like you have fully transitioned into the beloved 2nd trimester yet? Everyone says it's the best trimester. I can't wait! :-)
