16w0d

How far along?  16w0d or 40%, woah!

Total weight gain/loss: Didn't even step on the scale this morning, after a week of vacation I'm too scared to see.

Baby Size: Avocado!  He is 4.5 inches long and weighs 3.5 ounces.

Baby Development: Tiny bones are forming in his ears, which means he can now pick up my voice.  Also eyebrows, lashes and hair are starting to fill in and taste buds are forming. 

Best moment this week: Sleeping in my own bed and getting kisses from our puppy dog after being away for a week. There really is no place like home :)

Movement: Nothing yet, I hope I feel something soon though!

Symptoms: None.

Food cravings: Nothing in particular yet.

Food aversions: No new aversions this week.

What I miss: Real cough medicine.  I got a bad cough a few days ago and the "safe" med I bought does nothing, le sigh. 

Milestones: We've hit 4 months already, woo hoo!!

There were no major changes this week...although the top part of my stomach is catching up to where my belly sticks out...not sure if it's fat collecting or if my organs are starting to get pushed upwards and then pushing out since they have no where else to go.

Besides the nasty cough, I'm feeling great. My energy is definitely back to normal, it's so nice to be awake when the sun actually sets now :)  I've had no major food cravings or aversions so far, which has made eating much easier and more enjoyable than it was during the 1st tri.  We also made the official announcement on Facebook this week...so now the entire world knows our exciting news!

We really had a wonderful vacation and it was much needed rest and relaxation...however, we both are happy to be home.  I plan to download pictures onto my computer over the weekend, so I'll do a full update then.
