Avocado Baby!! 16 weeks!



















Baby Mastropolo can most likely hear our voices this week! Time to start playing some classical music.. bring on the Mozart, Beethoven, and Bach! Baby Mastropolo's backbone is getting stronger and so are the back muscles. From crown to rump Baby Mastropolo is between 4 and 5 inches and about 3 ounces!

Our little one has no baby fat yet and the baby's skin is very translucent. Baby Mastropolo has little eyelashes and eyebrows already too!

As for mommy to be, I have been experiencing the normal nasal congestion and some minor nosebleeds. This is due to the high levels of estrogen and progesterone which can increase blood flow to all of my body's mucous membranes, including the nose, making them to swell and soften.

Oh, another thing!! It is time for some of the first fetal movements... it is called quickening. The word reminds me of a cake, like quickening dough or batter LOL!! Looking forward to that!! Not sure what it will feel like but I will post when I feel something going on.
