My 16 week post is a smidge late. What isn't late, when it comes to me!? Due to Thanksgiving travel and Darrin being gone for 4 days on a hunting trip there is no weekly picture this week. I just absolutely do not do selfies, sorry! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with family and happiness and kicking off the Christmas season. We saw all of our immediate families, traveled to Austin to see most of my Dad's extended family on Thanksgiving day and got to have some fun with our totally awesome little nieces (they really are the best!) Our hearts are truly overflowing this year with thankfulness! The icing on the cake? This year Thanksgiving fell on our 4th anniversary. I can't think of a more appropriate day to celebrate our marriage. Every single day is better than the day before, and this is the greatest life we could've ever imagined!! So, in the true spirit of how my heart feels right now, THIS is my 16 week picture:

Week 16 - your baby's the size of an avocado!
Now, she's about 4.6 inches long and weighs about 3.5 ounces, and she's big enough that your doctor may be able to hear her heartbeat. (I find this statement odd because we've been able to HEAR the heartbeat since week 9.)
your baby at 16 weeks
- She's listening to your voice, thanks to tiny bones forming in her ears.
- She's growing hair, lashes and eyebrows.
- And she's forming taste buds.
Tomorrow is the big gender appointment!! Here are some of the common Old Wives Tales and where we fall. Only a few more hours until we know for sure and I CANNOT wait!!
Morning Sickness? None!! (Boy)
Cravings - sweet vs. salty? Mostly sweet, although I do always want cheese! (Girl, or boy?)
Carrying low vs. high? Low....I think?? (Boy)
Pregnancy "glow" and skin condition? Although my sweet husband claims I've got the glow, I've got some pretty terrible skin going on right now. (Girl)
Side sleeping - left vs. right? Left, always. (Boy)
My feet, colder or warmer? Warmer (Girl)
Clumsy or graceful? SUPER clumsy! (Boy)
Chinese calendar? Which is supposedly 90% accurate (Girl)
Headaches? Yup :( (Boy)
Daddy's prediction? 100% from day 1 it's a BOY!
Mommy's prediction? I don't have a clue, I just hope it's only 1 baby!!
Tune into Facebook Friday evening to find out for sure! :)
Love, the Barton three
