By week 16, your baby-to-be's body is doing more to support itself. Her kidneys function and produce urine that then passes through the umbilical cord. Within her stomach, bile is secreted, although she relies on you for all of her nutrients. Her appearance changes as her scalp hair grows and may even have color. Her developing facial muscles make it possible for her to open and close her mouth, maybe even give you a smile or two.
This week, your little one is around four inches long (crown to rump) and weighs in at nearly three ounces, about the size of an avocado.

I am going to the doctor today for my appointment to check my weight and to run some tests. This will be our last appt not knowing what are baby is (hopefully)!!
Casey got off work early today since they couldn't pump on the well site so he will get to come with me to my appt. This will be is first appt with our new doctor and only his second appt overall!
I am hoping to talk to her about some cramping that I am having on my right side and a few other things, so I am ready to go, but I am sure my appt wont be on time and it will be a long wait to see her.
I will update you guys tomorrow.
