16 weeks!

How far along? 16 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 19 lbs.
Stretch marks? Nope (fingers crossed).
Sleep: Not as tired as I have been
Movement: I felt a few bubbles!!
Food cravings: Nothing special this week.
Gender: Still convinced it's a boy (I should know in about 3 weeks!)
Labor Signs: None
What I miss: Not having elephant feet.
What I am looking forward to: Finding out what the lil chocolate chip is.

Milestones: Breaking a shoe because my feet were so swollen.

An Avaocado
"Baby's now the size of an avocado!
Watch what you say...tiny bones forming in baby's ears mean she can now pick up your voice. A few more minuscule changes: Eyebrows, lashes, and hair are starting to fill in, and taste buds are forming."

How far along? 15 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: I'm showing, 'nuff said.
Stretch marks? Thankfully, no.

Movement: None
Food cravings: Nothing in particular this week.
Gender: Still convinced it's a boy.
Labor Signs: None
What I miss: Not having to sleep sitting up - really??
What I am looking forward to: Seeing the baby at my appointment on Wednesday.

Milestones: Having random people comment on my bump.

An Orange
Baby's now the size of a naval orange!
Continuing the march toward normal proportions, baby's legs now out-measure his arms. And, finally, all four limbs have functional joints. Your fetus is squirming and wiggling like crazy down in the womb, though you probably can't feel the movements just yet.
