16 Weeks
16Weeks:
Symptoms this last week: Fine most the time, VERY tired on a couple days.
Weight gain (148lbs starting): -9lbs (139lbs). I promise I am eating! LOL
Cravings: sour patch kids, which I can't find. I am going to manila hopefully this weekend if I can't find any I have people willing to mail me some! And McDonalds french fries dipped into their ice cream!!!!
Pictures:How Big is the Baby at 16 Weeks Pregnant?
Your baby is even larger by pregnancy week 16, between 4.3 and a little over 4 ½ inches long, and probably weighs close to 3 ounces.
Your Baby's Growth and Development
Your baby is planning on doing some major growing in the next few weeks. By pregnancy 16 weeks she'll be able to hold her head slightly straighter, and her eyes are finally moving into their final position in the front of the head. The ears are doing the same, and now your baby is focusing her attention on complicated circulatory matters. Your baby's heart is pumping 25 quarts of blood every day, not bad for someone smaller than a grapefruit!
Your baby is also starting to grow hair and will continue to do so as you continue your pregnancy week by week. You won't be able to tell what color hair your baby has until after birth, and even then your baby's hair may fall out and change colors completely at least once during the first few months of life! The same is true of our baby's eye color. Some baby's are born with blue eyes that gradually turn darker during the first couple of months of life!
By pregnancy week 16 the umbilical cord is now firmly attached to your baby's belly as well, providing numerous nutrients to your little one. At this point in time your baby's legs are starting to grow longer than the arms!

HAHAHA Shannon your safe! I have a McDonalds less then 6 blocks from me. THAT is one craving I get all the time!
I will totally mail you sour patch kids if you want me to! I know this is a little late, but I have strange cravings all of the time-- most recent and current is amazing oranges in the middle of winter. I will mail you whatever you want!
Michelle thanks for the offer but I found something that is holding my craving! And it looks like we may come back in a couple weeks so I think I will be good.
