16 weeks...

We're back to describing the bean's size in terms of fruit... this week our little bean (who is much bigger than a bean these days!) is the size of an avocado and is 4-1/2" long. My belly has started to poke out a little more these days, and I am actually looking more pregnant and less chubbalicious. I am starting to feel some of my own organs being pushed around a little bit, and that is so strange. It feels like my stomach is being pushed up into my lungs. The date has been set for the BIG ULTRASOUND where we will attempt to find out the flavor of the bean! This will be March 21st, and we are really hoping the little one will cooperate and give us a sneak peek. I'm hoping a can of Sunkist will do the trick. As for my cravings-- SALT, SALT, AND MORE SALT... so any ideas what that might predict with the gender?? Are salt-lick blocks appropriate for human use? Totally kidding...no seriously...ok kidding. Several people have asked me how/when we found out about the pregnancy, and about our families' reactions. I haven't posted anything about that on here, but I will try and do a post about that soon. We were able to get some of our families' reaction in a photo so I will post that also. I had intentions of doing it today but I haven't downloaded those photos yet. Stay tuned.
