16 Weeks

At 16 weeks pregnant, baby is the size of an avocado, measuring 4.6 inches long and weighing in at 3.5 ounces. Baby can listen to my voice, thanks to tiny bones forming in his ears. He is growing hair, lashes, and eyebrows. And his taste buds are forming.

How far along? 16 weeks

Weight gain/loss: No idea. Still haven't bothered with the battery in the scale.

Sleep? Still pretty good. I finally pulled the body pillow out of the garage and that has been glorious.

Best moment this week?Jay's back from his trip! It is so nice to have him back. The best was when we got to catch up and chat for about three hours on Monday evening after the kids went to bed. It's pretty nice to be married to someone that doesn't bore me after 3 hours!

Movement:Still nothing but I did end up ordering a new doppler after going back through the garage without luck. I found his heartbeat right away so I am feeling better.

Food cravings: I haven't really been super hungry these days but I am still eating normally. Just no cravings.

What I miss? Wine.

What I am looking forward to? I am going to my first meeting with the Newport Beach Democratic Women's Club tonight and I am so excited!

Milestones: Nothing major this week.

What I'm nervous about: Jay got a lot of bug bites on his Costa Rica trip. After a few days of serious research on how, exactly, to get a Zika test, he had his blood taken yesterday. We are hoping for results tomorrow but I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't get them until next week. I am really hoping we have nothing to worry about because if it is Zika that would be BAD.
