Well, it is 16 weeks in and Hubigail is about 3 to 5 ounces. Also, we should have reached between 4 and 5 inches. It is hard to remember how tiny they are when all these pictures make them look so big. The little one is able to move its eyes back and forth but the lids are still sealed. Hubi can sense light. Not that there is much to sense as far as I know. The little muscles in the back are developing allowing Hubi to straighten out a bit more. Actually, all the muscles are strengthening. The little bones in the ear are developing allowing your little one to hear you. So, this is when your baby starts to realize how horrible of a singer you are and starts to save up all that angst for their teenage years. And, with newly acquired abilities to make faces and manipulate their fingers, you can imagine what the little one is doing when you decide it is time for a mid nap serenade.
As for mom, she will most likely be putting on some weight. Just make sure you make her feel okay about it. Each pound is a little bit of health for the baby. But don't over health your baby. Other things to be aware of for this week are mainly the same as last week. There is a bit more emphasis on the ooky stuff though. So, beware.
