16-Week Ultrasound for Baby King :)
This is Baby King at 16 weeks! How neat to see "shim" move his/her arm and leg, relax, hiccup and turn from side to side. How neat it also is to see his/her heartbeat :)

17 Weeks Pregnant! (Turnip Week)
The baby is the size of a: Turnip
New baby developments this week: "Your baby's skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone, and the umbilical cord — her lifeline to the placenta — is growing stronger and thicker. Your baby weighs 5 ounces now, and she's around 5 inches long from head to bottom. She can move her joints, and her sweat glands are starting to develop" BabyCenter.
Total weight gain: It looks like it's still about 10 pounds so far!
Maternity clothes? Nope, but old clothes is starting to get a bit tight now...lol.
Stretch marks? A thin, faint vertical line is still on my belly :)
Sleep: Yep; I just have to switch from one side to the next a bit more frequently lol
Best moment this week: Seeing my baby for the second time in his/her 16-week ultrasound. It was so neat to see the heart beat and hiccups, watch the baby turn from side to side, and see it extend its leg and elbow. How cute! :)
Miss Anything? Nope, not really! Movement/Feelings: Nope, not yet!
Food cravings: Still, anything salty or tomato-based! I've been craving mashed potatoes and gravy, too -- which is interesting because I'm usually not a big mashed potatoes fan lol. And I am eating Pop-tarts more than I ever did before (just because they are a quick-to-eat breakfast item) :)
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope!
Symptoms: None! (although my bladder becomes more uncomfortable more quickly now lol) :)
Gender: I don't know yet...but I'm still thinking it will be a girl
Labor Signs: Nope!
Belly Button in or out? An outie! :)
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!
Looking forward to: Still finding out the sex of the baby sooooon! :)

16 Weeks Pregnant! (Avocado Week)
The baby is the size of a: Avocado
New baby developments this week: "Get ready for a growth spurt. In the next few weeks, your baby will double his weight and add inches to his length. 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" BabyCenter.
Total weight gain: It looks like 10 pounds so far!
Maternity clothes? Nope, but now my baby bump is getting bigger! Yay!

15 Weeks Pregnant! (Apple Week)
The baby is the size of a: Apple
New baby developments this week: "She's busy moving amniotic fluid through her nose and upper respiratory tract, which helps the primitive air sacs in her lungs begin to develop. Her legs are growing longer than her arms now, and she can move all of her joints and limbs. Although her eyelids are still fused shut, she can sense light. If you shine a flashlight at your tummy, for instance, she's likely to move away from the beam. There's not much for your baby to taste at this point, but she is forming taste buds" BabyCenter.
Total weight gain: It's hard to say...maybe 3 or 4 pounds still? lol
Maternity clothes? Nope, but now my baby bump is even more prominent, even co-workers are finally starting to notice (at least when I'm in my old clothes)! lol
Stretch marks? Actually, I am starting to see a faint stretch mark :)
Sleep: Yes!
Best moment this week: Getting to see my baby bump more!
Miss Anything? Nope, not really! Movement/Feelings: Nope!
Food cravings: Still, anything salty or tomato-based! I absolutely have to have a jar of pickles on hand in the house -- my evening treat :)
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope!
Symptoms: None! (although I am starting to go to the ladies' room a bit more frequently than normal) :)
Gender: I don't know yet...but I'm still thinking it will be a girl

14 Weeks Pregnant! (Lemon Week)
The baby is the size of a: Lemon
New baby developments this week: "Your baby can now squint, frown, grimace, pee, and possibly suck his thumb! Thanks to brain impulses, his facial muscles are getting a workout as his tiny features form one expression after another. His kidneys are producing urine, which he releases into the amniotic fluid around him — a process he'll keep up until birth. He can grasp, too, and if you're having an ultrasound now, you may even catch him sucking his thumb" BabyCenter.
Total weight gain: It looked like it was just a couple of pounds at my last doctor's visit
Maternity clothes? Nope, but I am getting a baby bump now! lol
Stretch marks? Nope
Sleep: Yep!
Best moment this week: Getting a chance to see my old church family; they are all so excited and supportive!
