16.5 weeks

well heres what 16.5 weeks looks like.

So I don't feel any different, then I did 2 weeks ago...

But this weeks milestones are; anywhere from now -20 weeks I will begin to feel what they call "butterflies" of the bean swimming around in there. Im anticipating this moment, I lay in silence and wait to feel it...but I haven't yet, Im sure it will happen when I least expect it.

Bean is 4.6 inches and weighs about 3.4 oz. Tiny little thing still :)

Bean is beginning to develop sleep and wake cycles, which are generally short relative to a term baby.

From here on out its RAPID growth time.... and mommy Mar isnt excited about that, but its all worth it. RIGHT?
