Baby "Bun" Brewing

According to the latest scan, we are 16 weeks into the pregnancy. The first trimester was rather trying with the constant nausea and indescribable tiredness. Just when I thought I couldn't go on, smack on 12 weeks, just like the experts predicted, it all changed and we were back on track. I must say it is nice to have the flexibility of having a rest most days - we hope this will in turn reward us with a calm baby......

As you can see there is a small bump where our "baby bun" (affectionately nicknamed after Dad - who is better known to many as BUN) is growing in leaps and bounds. Jb is well within the worldwide average and this is what the experts & our scan said about the fetal development at 16 weeks:

• Baby is about the size of an avo/potato
  
• approx 11.5 cm crown to rump
• weighs approx 140 grams
• feet are 2cm
• very playful, the umbilical cords serves as the first toy
• circulatory system & urinary tract are in full working order
• inhales & exhales amniotic fluid through the lungs
• skin is starting to get more colour
• hair starts growing
  

Its going to be interesting to see how big this tummy grows over the next 24 weeks. (who knows I may even be given time off for good behaviour??)
