March is already flying by! Seems like just yesterday it was the 1st and now we’re already “springing forward” with daylight savings time. I always love it when the daylight starts getting longer though and it seems with each more hour of sunshine motivation gets greater and wintertime blues diminish. So bring it on.
In case you missed it, my last post was something a little different, showcasing a few of baby’s first gifts including a wonderful quilt made by my mom. Check it out.
16 Weeks: Me
16 Weeks: Me
- Overall: Not a bad week, though it has come with some sleepiness as well. It seems there were some nights I just couldn’t get enough sleep. I’ve also been feeling like my heart is beating in my stomach a lot. I’m sure it’s all that extra blood flow. I also notice if I walk around a lot my lower back starts to hurt until I sit down or rest.
- Food: This week, every single day for my 10:00 a.m. snack I had a piece of cake and pickles. That’s probably all I need to say about that.
- Bump: I think with my tiredness came a growth spurt. I felt like there was a lot going on down there this week and though this picture was taken later in the day that normal, I still think it shows!
- Mood: It seems that when it rains it pours. Along with being extra tired comes extra moodiness. I would know the moment I needed to go to bed this week because suddenly everything could make me cry. When your mind can no longer process simple things and suddenly everything that is nothing hurts your feelings, you know it’s time to give up and just sleep, ha.
- Baby’s age: 16 weeks, 1 day
- Baby’s size: size of an avocado; approximately 4.6 inches
- Baby’s weight: 3.5 oz
- Baby’s heart is now pumping approximately 25 quarts of blood every day, continually becoming more active. Bones are hardening and legs and arms are completely formed. Even though eyes are closed, they are making movements and even senses changes in light.
