16 weeks

Beckett is wondering what's in Mommy's tummy...

At 16 weeks, Baby Center says, "Get ready for a growth spurt. In the next few weeks, your baby will double his or her weight and add inches in length. Right now, he or she is about the size of an avocado: 4 1/2 inches long (head to rump) and 3 1/2 ounces.

"Your baby's legs are much more developed, his or her head is more erect than it has been, and his or her eyes have moved closer to the front of the head. Your baby's ears are close to their final position, too. The patterning of his or her scalp has begun, though hair isn't recognizable yet. Your baby has even started growing toenails.

"And there's a lot happening inside as well. For example, your baby's heart is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood each day, and this amount will continue to rise."

Here is a cool video of what's going on with the little pumpkin:
Weeks 15 to 20

We have a doctor's appointment on Friday for bloodwork and a check-up with the nurse practitioner.  I am am not above begging for an ultrasound. :)
