16 weeks

I am 16 weeks pregnant today! The baby is about the size of an avocado this week. Roughly 4 1/2 inches long and 3 1/2 ounces heavy.

I am feeling pretty good. I am starting to have more energy and wanting to straighten and purge and fix the house up for the baby. I have months before this baby comes. But I am still starting to feel the urgent need to get everything worked out now. I can't wait for the desperate need of nesting that comes right before the baby is born. My house will be spot less then! LOL

I can feel my uterus right under my belly button. My belly is firming up and widening. I am not really rounding out much yet. But I am getting to the point where maternity clothes are just more comfortable. Plus the point to the fact that this is a baby bump not just some extra cheese on my burritos!

I can't wait for my next check up and the ultrasound. It will be so much fun! Hopefully the time will go quickly. Then we will not only be at the halfway point but also time to find out if this baby is a boy or a girl. I need to find something to keep me busy until then ...
