Yes yes yes I know it says only 21 weeks left :) that is cuz we are hopefully going to have the baby @ 37 weeks and 5 Days. That way the baby will continue to be born on the 27th like all of our other children and will be born in August!!
so with that being said...hehehehe we are on to the count down :) I am hoping that we will make it to 37 weeks. If so I think that would be a record for pregnancies that I have had!!! We are heading into our last week of our 4th month. Next week we will be in our 5th month already. Its AMAZING how fast time really does fly. This week though we have a dr apt for our 4th Month check up.... We are excited to hear the babies heart beat as we are with all our kids...its a nice comfort to hear it and know its still beating...
Here is what it says bout our little bundle of joy for week 16....
Your Baby Week 16
Fine hair called lanugo covers your baby, who now measures about 4.3 to 4.6 inches (10.8 to 11.6cm) from crown to rump and weighs about 2.8 ounces (80g).
Fingernails are well formed and the arms and legs may be seen moving on an ultrasound. Your baby already has his own unique fingerprint pattern!
Your baby can hold his head erect and he can also make faces with his slightly developed facial muscles. Your baby may practice squinting, frowning and opening and closing his mouth.
the nervous system is functioning and muscles are responding to stimulation from your baby's brain. You may be able to hear the baby's heartbeat in the doctor's office. Your uterus has grown significantly by now and weighs about 8.75 ounces. Within the next few weeks you may start to feel your baby move, called "quickening." It's often described as a gas bubble or subtle fluttering movement. As it happens more regularly, you'll know it's your baby. There are other physiological changes happening in your body. Increased blood volume to support your growing fetus may cause nosebleeds, and veins may become more apparent. Because your uterus is shifting, you may not have to urinate as much
Your baby's bones have enough calcium deposits to show on an X-ray. If your baby is female, her ovaries will be in place in her pelvis and more than five million ova (some of which may be fertilized to become your own grandchildren in another generation!) have formed.
