Week 16-First Belly Picture

So I had Tom take the first belly picture of me last night. I hope you all enjoy. My little bump is getting firmer and it is just below my belly button. I am wearing maternity jeans and my pre prego jeans but they are unbuttoned and held together with a hair tie! Ha ha!! The maternity jeans are SO comfy.

This week the baby is the size of an avocado. The baby is forming bones in it ears so it can start to hear what is going on around it. Tom and I are excited to start putting headphones on my belly and introducing the baby to Nine Inch Nails...ha ha ha!! Eyebrows, eyelashes, and hair are starting to fill in. The baby's taste buds are forming now too. The baby has gone thru a major growth spurt in the last few weeks. It double it size and is 4.5 inches long. It is also moving it's eyes but the eyelids are open yet.

I am feeling great and have started back to the gym this last week. I am doing cardio and some light weight lifting. I figure that I can't control that my midsection is growing but I can keep everything else looking good! I went to the doctor last week and I am up one pound and the baby has a strong heartbeat. They said everything looks good and I am so excited to see how the next appointment goes. I have set up an appointment with a new doctor, since we will be back in Cali for the rest of the pregnancy, and I hope it goes well. I won't see the doctor until I am 19 weeks and then hopefully we can schedule an unltrasound to find out what we are having!!! I can't wait!!
