Week 16

Here is what baby center says about baby Reeves at week 16:
How your baby's growing:
Get ready for a growth spurt. In the next few weeks, your baby's weight will double and add inches to total length. Right now, baby's about the size of an avocado: 4 1/2 inches long (head to rump) and 3 1/2 ounces. The legs are much more developed, the head is more erect than it has been, and the eyes have moved closer to the front of the head. Baby's ears are close to their final position, too. The patterning of the scalp has begun, though the locks aren't recognizable yet. Baby's even started growing toenails. And there's a lot happening inside as well. For example, baby's heart is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood each day, and this amount will continue to increase as your baby continues to develop.

I LOVE babycenter! Have you ever checked out their message boards - more specifically the birth board for your LO's? I'm glad things are going well for your pregnancy.

Can you believe how close to half-way you are already? Seriously! It's so cool!
