16 weeks and counting!

I turned 16 weeks while vactioning at St. George Island.  My family and I had a fantastic beach trip with many adventures and misadventures :)  This includes being without power for 36 hours!  Here's a picture of the whole fam on the beach, Bud is in the picture too!


Baby Bud is growing quite rapidly!  He is now about 4.5 inches long from crown to rump, meaning about 6.5 inches from head to toe!  His body mass is equal to avocado!  In the next few weeks, he will double his weight (currently 3.5 ounces) and add inches to his length.  Toenails are now growing on those little "piggies" and his heart is pumping 25 quarts of blood per day, impressive!


Bud is quite the dancer in my belly, although I'm still not sure if I can feel him move!  I want to be sure I'm not confusing it with all the other belly pains before I announce his little flutters. We will have gender confirmation soon :)

Here are a few new belly pictures from 16 weeks:
