16 weeks: Wait, you're pregnant?

Yep, pregnant and not too much change in two weeks.  Still very easily hidden.  No maternity pants.  No belly bands.  Just loose fitting shirts and baggy jeans.  Can't complain. 

Now that the word is out at work, I'm getting lots of comments from coworkers.  One person said, "Oh you used to be skinny."  Another said, "Congrats, you're finally pregnant."  And yet, another one said, "So this must be an oops baby?"  Seriously??? Do you think they wanted to put both feet in their mouths after saying this stuff? Nope, they were totally oblivious.  I mean, seriously??

Anyway, on to the weekly babycenter update... 
15 weeks: She's busy moving amniotic fluid through her nose and upper respiratory tract, which helps the primitive air sacs in her lungs begin to develop. Her legs are growing longer than her arms now, and she can move all of her joints and limbs. Although her eyelids are still fused shut, she can sense light. If you shine a flashlight at your tummy, for instance, she's likely to move away from the beam.
16 weeks: Get ready for a growth spurt. In the next few weeks, your baby will double his weight and add inches to his length. Right now, he's about the size of an avocado: 4 1/2 inches long (head to rump) and 3 1/2 ounces. His legs are much more developed, his head is more erect than it has been, and his eyes have moved closer to the front of his head. His ears are close to their final position, too. The patterning of his scalp has begun, though his locks aren't recognizable yet. He's even started growing toenails. And there's a lot happening inside as well. For example, his heart is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood each day, and this amount will continue to increase as your baby continues to develop.

We have an ultrasound appointment in 3 weeks.  So excited for that one! I can't believe I'm getting close to the half way point! Time is flying. 

As for how I'm feeling? This explains it. 
Last night, I'm sorry to admit, I teared up a little during the end of Mighty Ducks 2.  It's a problem. 

Did you know that Kenan Thompson was in that movie??
Well now ya do. 

So Mighty Ducks, Good Burger, Fat Albert and...
something else...
Whatever it was, it was tenacious...
It was audacious...
It was vivacious...
It was flirtatious...
Ooooooooo wwweeeeeeeeeeeee, what up wit dat? What up wit dat?

Don't worry, kept the tears in check for this skit.  :)
