16 Weeks

Today, Wednesday Aug. 12th, I am 16 weeks (4 months). The baby is now 4 1/2 inches long and weighs 3 1/2 ounces. About the size of an avocado. The baby has started growing toenails. The baby's little heart is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood each day. Over the next few weeks the baby will double in weight and add inches to his/her length. Our next doctors appointment is next Friday the 21st. At our September appointment we will find out what we are having. :)

So in honor of Baby Wertz, have an avocado or some guacamole this week. :)
