Sixteen

This week my baby is starting to play; he’s tugging on the umbilical cord that attaches us and sucking on his thumb. He’s only the length of a six-inch sub (which is sooo easy for me to visualize!) and is expected to double in length and weight in these next three weeks. Month four is sure to be an exciting one! Everything I read suggests that I will not begin to feel pain in my sides, as my uterus and pelvic walls grow and stretch. The most exciting development this week is that the tiny bones in his ears are growing, which means he’s starting to hear sounds!

Also, I finally gave in to my incredible paranoia, and… rented a Doppler. It’s coming by the end of this week and I just can’t WAIT!
