I am now 16 weeks and you are now 4.5 inches long weighing in at about 3.5 ounces! I can't believe how big you are getting! I really want you to start making some movement in there so I can feel you! I know I have about 2 more weeks for that, but maybe these butterflies are really you? I can't tell if I get butterflies just from thinking about you and how excited you make me, or if it's really you moving around like a little fish! I thought I would tell you about some of the accomplishments you have made so far! From now on you will be growing at a much quicker rate and hopefully mom will see some belly growth as a result!
Your muscles are now developing to the point that you can hold your head up in a straight line. Your facial muscles can display a variety of expressions. So go ahead and show off your cute face next time we take a look!
Your cute little fingernails are well formed and you are emptying your bladder every 40 to 45 minutes .. much like mommy! You are also covered in "lanugo", fine hairs that cover your little body. Your ears are no longer on your neck, they have moved to their proper position on your head!
Next time we see the doctor, he should be able to tell us if you are a Mrs. Ericksen or Mr. Ericksen and we just can't wait. My maternal instincts have switched from thinking you were a boy to a girl. My intuition must not be working properly. Either way, I couldn't be more excited. Your daddy and I just wanna get to know you and learn all we can about how to make you happy. We can't wait to start spoiling you so we need to know if you're a girly girl or a tom boy! We love you so much and we get more and more excited for your arrival every day!
Love always, Your Mom.
