Welcome to week 16! The baby actually can be anywhere from 2 to 3 ounces and about 5 inches long. This week is an exciting one as well, because the ear bones have formed enough for it to be able to hear sounds (Kevin's oh so funny knock knock jokes for instance). Some of the facial muscles have formed enabling our little one to frown and squint. Also, even though the eyelids are still sealed shut, the eyes are able to perceive light. We had a check up today, and the baby is in perfect condition. Strong heartbeat, normal measurements, and on track to be an Olympian. That last one is only a well calculated guess.
On my end of everything, I can say that my morning sickness is gone, but it has been replaced with migraines (See: Kevin's knock knock jokes). I never really had them before, so it is just another adventure that I'd prefer not to embark on. Also, my skin is super dry, partly thanks to this northern chill. I am proud to say, that all though I feel a little bigger, I have maintained my weight. Probably the best news I heard today:)
You stay classy San Diego!
Kevin fun fact: Apparently, many women's feet grow through pregnancy because of the added strain. Right now she is at a 9. I wear a 14. My money is on her splitting the difference at 11.5. Bets anyone??
It was so awesome being able to see you :) You are so beautiful and your excitement makes me that much more excited to have a niece/ nephew. I can NOT wait until we find out what Exhibit A is going to be.
