This week is the start of our 16th week.
At the end of the week, I can say "I'm 4 Months!" woah, where did this time go?
I feel great, I cannot (shouldn't) complain. I have very little nausea, much more energy than in weeks past, have been sleeping well, and I hope each day, I'm eating healthy enough, for our little one! I do notice that my belly is growing, I have "advanced" into maternity clothes, tricky finding clothes, because I find I'm still at an "in between" stage, but I'm thinking not for long!
I have started to prep our rooms for the transition of the "room swap".
Our office will be turning into our spare bedroom, and our spare now, will be the baby's room.
I've been researching baby furniture, with thoughts of having it here, so that when the room is ready, the furniture will go right in!! But WOW, there is just too much to choose from. I'm thinking the decision of how much to spend, what grade quality, how many pieces? etc. etc. ! is just a little overwhelming.
Mommy - just make the choice and move on!
Enough about me! Here's how Baby is Doing:
- Your baby is about 4 to 5 inches long — about the length of a large pear.
- Your baby's skeletal and nervous systems connect enough to allow him to coordinate movement.
- When you're 16 weeks pregnant, developed facial muscles make it possible for your baby to squint, frown, or try other facial expressions.
- As back muscles strengthen, your baby is able to straighten his posture a little.
- Your baby now has eyelashes.
- By your 16th week of pregnancy, your baby's eyes move side-to-side and even perceive some light, although his eyelids are still sealed.
- Your baby's bones build and strengthen with the help of your body's calcium!
- Your baby already might be having tiny hiccups, although when you’re 16 weeks pregnant, your baby is not large enough for you to feel them yet!
Then.....only 4 more weeks until we find out if it's going to be a Wolter Boy, Or a Wolter Girl!
