Week 16 and you're the size of an avocado, Belly Boy!
Speaking of healthy fats, this week your skin (that's been pretty translucent) starts to get a little plump, as fat formation begins. Oh, I cannot wait to kiss your cheeks! Your amazing heart is pumping 50 pints of blood a day! And, if you can believe it, your first poop is already starting to form in your bowel. You are such a proactive over-achiever and I am so proud. This week your ears start to pick up on the silly songs and stories we're already telling you! We hope you can hear how much we love you. We're still pretty nauseous, which has been challenging. But we're also still into salty-brine-y things and loving olives and half-sour pickles. You also really seem to like honey mustard pretzels and other more savory treats. You must have your daddy's taste buds. You're getting better at chicken (we have not been able to stomach at all for weeks) but, honestly, it's been pretty hit or miss on the poultry front. The week started pretty rainy but it also started with us getting a little more organized and plotting out the months for big steps. We will be ready for you, baby. You hear?!
