16-Weeks Pregnant

I am officially 16 weeks today.  It has gone by so fast!!  LB is the size of an avocado.  AND I am finding out the gender on Friday.  I will be happy either way.  If it's a girl I will be elated, but will worry about sibling rivalry and baby #2 constantly being compared to Avery.  If it's a boy, I will be happy, but will mourn the fact that Avery's cutest clothes will never be worn again.  It is surreal to think that our unknown baby will have a name and planned future as of Friday.  Please cooperate LB!!!! 
This week has been really exciting because I can feel the baby move.  I feel a popping sensation, like popcorn.  AND feelings like Braxton Hicks contractions...I LOVE this part of pregnancy!!!
"This week your baby's limbs are much more developed, legs and arms are longer and are becoming more controlled in movement.  Your baby's skeletal system is developing more as calcium is deposited onto the bones.  Over the next couple of weeks your baby's weight will double."
