Week 16

Baby's now the size of an avocado!
Watch what you say...tiny bones forming in baby's ears mean she can now pick up your voice. A few more minuscule changes: eyebrows, lashes, and hair are starting to fill in, and taste buds are forming.

Not much happening this week. I'm still feeling tired - really tired. I also seem to get hungrier every day; the 2-lunch-per-day streak continues. As a result of my increased appetite, my belly is getting bigger. Unfortunately, I can't tell if I look PG or just fat at this point. I will post a pic in a few days and you all can decide that for yourself.

Next u/s is this Wednesday. I will be almost 17 weeks, so everything should be sufficiently formed that the tech can tell the sexes. ::fingers crossed:: However, the babies haven't been very cooperative so far (i.e. the hour-long NT scan), so I'm not holding my breath. If they don't give us "the shot", though, next chance to find out is not until the end of October, which seems like forever away.

In non-baby news, school sucks. Not much else to talk about - my life is unbelievably boring.
