16 weeks!

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.

Can't wait to see the belly pictures either!

I remember the first few times I felt Cooper move around....I was like "what was that...???". All the books say women mistake gas for the baby moving---but it feels nothing like gas. More like butterflies in my tummy---at least that's what I thought.

Our last day of school is a Wednesday....much less exciting than a Friday.

Wow! You're coming along so fast. Before you know it, it will fly by even faster. I got my first movement at 16 weeks so you probably did feel something. And what a great Christmas gift-finding out the gender right before :)
