16 Week Update

Peanut is growing fast! He or she is about 6 inches long, about as large as an avocado, and weighs about as much as a C battery. We had an ultrasound on Friday. Peanut was moving all around. Peanut kept bringing his or her hands up to the face and kept crossing and uncrossing his or her legs. We even got a thumbs up from Peanut, but the doctor couldn't snap the picture fast enough. We learned some good news. At our 12-week ultrasound, the doctor noticed that my uterus was heart-shaped, which could increase the chances of needing a c-section. Well, in the last month, the baby has grown and pushed the center of the heart out of the way, so now my uterus is normal in shape. Yay! And I gained another pound, for a total gain of three pounds.

First is the 16 week belly picture. My belly is starting to get a little rounder.And here are the ultrasound pictures - you can see how Peanut's hands are up at the face.
