16 Weeks Pregnant

I am now 16 weeks pregnant!  Time is sure flying by!!!  We had a doctor's appointment today to do a quick check on the baby.  Aria came with us and she got to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time.  My doctor had a hard time locating the baby's heartbeat, because the baby kept moving around.  Eventually we got to hear the sweet "swoosh, swoosh" sounds.

At this point the baby is 4.5" long, which is approximately the size of an avocado!

Here are some fun photos to look at.  The first two are for this pregnancy and the second two are from my pregnancy with Aria.  See any similarities/differences?  One difference is my weight gain.  At 16 weeks with Aria, I'd already gained 10 pounds.  This time I've only gained 7 pounds.  I thought I was supposed to "show" earlier with the second pregnancy, but this isn't the case with me.  I did, however, get a couple comments from my classmates this week saying that they could see a baby bump forming.  They made my day :)

  1. Yeah for Baby Bumps! :) I guess it's a good thing that you haven't gained as much right? Maybe your kiddo is just that much more active...working it off already! :) Keep up the good baby brewing! Love ya!
