That's "sixteen" in Hawaiian!

How Far Along: 16 weeks

Total weight gain: 4.5lbs as of this morning, although it was a pound and a half jump from yesterday so who knows!

Maternity clothes: Wearing about half and half right now.  Mostly pre-preg shirts but switching over to more maternity ones.  Getting two new shirts from Old Navy in the mail today and some exercise/comfy pants as well!

Sleep: Mostly excellent!

What do you miss: Nada

Movement: I am 99% sure I have felt him move a few times this week.  Of course no jabs or anything like that yet, just a few flutters and what felt like a flip or two.

Food cravings: Nothing in particular right now.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope!

Gender: Boy :)  Love knowing that it's Oliver in there!

Symptoms: Headaches haven't been as bad this week, more off and on. 

Belly button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or moody most of the time: Feeling happy and excited!  

Best part of the week: There were so many good things this week. 

- Finding out the gender last Sat!

- Going shopping for adorable clothes last Sun

- Ordering the crib!

- Andy taped outlines for most of the nursery decorations so we can see how  things will look.  I think it's going to be awesome!

Looking forward to: Feeling more definitely  movement and getting more of a bump and less of an appearance of too many burritos!

So, this week Oliver is the size of an avocado!  About 4.5" and 3.5oz.  The length is measured from the head to his bottom, so really when you take into account the legs I'm guessing he's more like, I don't know, at least 6.5"?  His legs looked pretty long on the 3d ultrasound we got, especially when he was stretching them out all the way! His eyes and ears are almost where they will be forever, and he is starting to grow hair on his head and eyelashes and toenails too!  His heart is amazingly pumping about 25 quarts of blood every day!  Of course compared to an adult which pumps up to 8,000 quarts per day that is nothing, but for such a little guy that's a lot!

And what's going on with me?  Well I found this animation online, pretty cool to see how much my organs are moving around and how much more they have to go still!
