We have an Avocado this week

We've made it to week 16 today. This week, our baby is the size of an avocado, which is about 4 1/2 inches long. Apparently in the next few weeks, Baby Williams will double in size! I'm still waiting for any sign of movement, but have yet to notice anything. I hope I'll recognize it moving pretty soon.
I'll visit with the doctor next in the middle of July. Our next ultra sound is scheduled for the end of July. I hope it gets here fast. I've learned the ultra sounds are a lot of fun and one of my favorite parts of pregnancy at this stage.  I have noticed my belly getting a tad bigger. I know some girls hate this stage because they feel they just look fat. I really don't care though. I just love that I am getting a bit bigger, even if some people don't know why. It's exciting to me.

So that's that for now. Nothing else is new in our lives. Thankfully all is well and the baby is still growing. I hope all is well for everyone too!

We are anxious to see an ultra sound photo too. We always mention you and Lyndsay in our prayers. So as not to cause any misundersandings, we daily petition blessings for ALL of our children and grandkids.

Sounds like wonderful news! I'm glad that you have an "avacado".
Lucky you. You deserve this.

Awesome, Kristin! I can't believe how many ultrasounds you get! I was so happy when Dr. Lynn changed to 3 when I was pregnant with James! That helps the pregnancy go faster, getting to peek in on the baby! Just be careful with all those ultrasounds that you don't see too much!!

If it makes you feel better I've been surprised by how little movement I've felt, I guess my doctor knew what he was saying, the baby must really be wedged back there!

What an exciting time for you and Jon. Whatever you experience with this is so worth it to have a baby in the end. :)

Kristin this is so exciting! I have to admit, every couple of months I check your blog just to see if you guys are preggers yet! Congratulations! Wanna hear something way cool? I'm pregnant now too and we have the same due date! Crazy huh? How are you feeling?! Unless things have changed you said you haven't been feeling too sick, lucky! I was like that with my son but I wasn't so lucky with this one. I had morning sickness by week 7 or so. I didn't feel him start kicking around until somewhere between weeks 18 and 20. I can't quite remember, but I do remember being anxious to finally feel him! I'm so happy for you! Jake says hello and congrats too!
