Baby Pavey Update: Week 16

Wow this week has flown by! Have I said that in all the recent posts? I guess time flies when your are having fun right? Well I am late in updating on week 16.. Also, I was blessed to spend some sister time at the lake for the past few days, we took my first bump shot… Hahah we’ll see if i can keep up with this every week, not sure though.. It has been absolutely the perfect week of weather, being at the Lake was so relaxing and I am continually reminded how blessed I am with my family.. I can not wait to see my husband though, he’ll be here in just a few days though!

Last night my little sister and a friend went to a drive in movie, one of my favorite washington summer time activities!..

Week 16 update: *quoted from Baby Center

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.

My Own Updates:

Cravings:  haha do I still need to say, CHEESE! Trader Joes yogurt cups, soooo creamy!  Hmmm not a lot of variety, though I am trying to find creative ways to have protein, since I may not quite be taking in enough calories yet.. After calling my dr’s office I was told to have a milk shake a day, I think I may be able to handle that order Also, the nurse said to have more protein, my goal for the week!

Feelings: I guess I am living up to the ‘feel great’ trimester still, other than the occasional upset stomach at night I am feeling great.. I have thought a couple times I may have felt the baby though I would not say I am 100% confident. I am sure later on I will be more sure..

Excited for: Still really excited to find out if its a girl or a boy! I am excited to move forward with the nursery and start getting things that are not gender neutral .
