Week 16

Sudsie just keeps on growing and now we're on Week 16. Here is what BabyCenter.com has to say about week 16:

Get ready for a growth spurt. In the next few weeks, your baby will double his weight and add inches to his length . Right now, he's about the size of an avocado: 4 1/2 inches long (head to rump) and 3 1/2 ounces. His legs are much more developed, his head is more erect than it has been, and his eyes have moved closer to the front of his head. His ears are close to their final position, too.

I am feeling better although the heartburn has picked up a little bit and I have this mysterious muscle pain in the middle of my back. Things that we have read say that I should be able to feel the baby move anytime between now and week 20. Every once in a while I think I feel something but I'm sure it's all in my head. I can no longer sleep flat on my back and must now sleep on my side. Last night was the first night trying and I think I did a pretty good job! We're looking for a pediatrician right now and we're getting ready to start touring a few daycares so we can get on some waiting lists. We're also beginning to research car seat, stroller and crib safety. Finally, a bump is definitely starting to form! A picture will be posted soon so everyone will have a frame of reference as the belly grows!

Other news since we posted last week....We had dinner with Damion, Kate and Baby Iris last Friday night. Iris is one of Sudsie's in-utero buddies and is due on November 8th!
