Interesting

Your pregnancy: 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. The patterning of his scalp has begun, though his locks aren't recognizable yet. He's even started growing toenails. And there's a lot happening inside as well. For example, his heart is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood each day, and this amount will continue to increase as your baby continues to develop.
I love reading these, every monday I get all excited to see what the little one is doing this week. So tomorrow is the big day. I really feel like its christmas!

I always loved reading these and knowing what size fruit my baby was - a very easy way to actually picture how big they are getting! Have fun finding out if you have a pink or blue baby tomorrow. I can't wait to find out!
