I just had my 16 week check up and everything is going great! All my tests came back totally normally, which is SO ENCOURAGING!!!!! I've scheduled my ultrasound for November 19th, so that's when we should hopefully find out if it is a boy or girl.
Here's what's happening right now for my little one:
Get ready for a growth spurt. In the next few weeks, my baby will double her weight and add inches to her length. Right now, she's about the size of an avocado: 4 1/2 inches long (head to rump) and 3 1/2 ounces. Her legs are much more developed, her head is more erect than it has been, and her eyes have moved closer to the front of her head. Her ears are close to their final position, too. The patterning of her scalp has begun, though her locks aren't recognizable yet. She's even started growing toenails. And there's a lot happening inside as well. For example, her heart is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood each day, and this amount will continue to increase as my baby continues to develop.
