My Lovely Avocado

Our little Baby G is the size of an avocado this week! Lots of cool stuff has been happening with him/her (I think its a him).  

Milestones for my lil avocado:
*It can hear voices now! We've been rockin out to Kari Jobe lately and this evening I threw a little Boyz 2 Men in there. Every once in a while when Andrew isn't around I throw in some good ol' country!
*Toenails have started to grow! Maybe they are little girl toenails that I can polish someday. I wonder how big his/her feet will be...Andrew is a size 14...YES a size 14 and well, I am average at a 7 1/2.  Interesting combo I know.
*Its little heart is pumping about 25 quarts of blood a day.  Seems like a ton for such a little thing!
Milestone for me:
They say that around week 16 you should start to feel the baby move. I haven't been too anxious about this, seeing as it is my first pregnancy. BUT I am almost certain that I was feeling my little active one move last night. "They"(Andrew doesn't like "they" cause he never knows who I am talking about, ummm neither do I. The internet people??) say it will feel like flutters or bubbles. That's what I was feeling last night. For a while too. It woke me up. I am trying to not get to excited about it though, after all it could have just been gas! Lets be real here please. PREGNANT women have gas.  Whew, glad you all know now.

Every week I get updates in my email about baby and my pregnancy.  And each week it compares my baby to some sort of fruit or veggie. I thought this was a little weird at first and honestly it just made me want to eat what it was telling me my baby was.  I always thought, "Hmm that actually sounds really good right now."  I felt like some sort of weirdo, like I was eating my baby. But the truth is I just like fruit and veggies....some veggies.

I am just LOVING being pregnant. If I knew that all of my pregnancies would be this easy I would have 10 kids. Okay maybe not ten but probably more than I plan.
