16 Weeks

This last week has gone by so quick (this seems to be a theme lately)! I can't believe we are 16 weeks already. The other night we felt the babies move! At first I thought maybe I had eaten something that wasn't agreeing with me. I felt little bubbles all in my tummy and just as quick as it happened it went away. Michael was bummed he didn't feel it, but the very next night they were at it again at just the right moment. He had his hand on my tummy when they started moving around and he looks at me and asked if I had an upset stomach. I told him no, that was the babies moving. I was shocked that he could feel it from the outside, but so glad he could share that fun moment with me!

Cravings?: Meat! I've really been craving burgers as well as Red Robin french fries.

My Weight Gain: 0lbs in the last week. I think my assumption last week about most of it being water was right and that I lost some of that and then gained baby weight.

What's Happening in My Body?: Our babies legs are now more developed and the head is more erect than it has been. The patterning of their scalps has begun even though hair has not yet started to grow. In the next few weeks our babies will double in weight and add inches to their length.

Our Babies are Each the Size of: Avocados! (yum!) 4 1/2 inches long and 3 1/2 ounces
