I can't believe I've reached the 4 month mark already... how time flies! The belly is definitely starting to become a 'baby bump'. It's about time to go shopping for some maternity clothes! Luckily, the nausea has waned and I'm feeling much more energetic. Really looking forward to this 2nd trimester.
Above are pics of little Ellory Faith Plohg sucking her thumb and waving at us! Such a little cutie pie.
Baby's Development This Week
Week 16 of Pregnancy: Baby's Hearing Develops
Tiny bones in Ellory's ears are in place this week, making it likely that the baby can hear my voice when I'm speaking (or singing in the shower). In fact, studies have found that babies who are sung to while they're in the womb recognize the same tune when it's sung to them after they are born (so choose your baby Muzak with that in mind…). And baby's busily boning up in other ways. For one, the backbone (along with the back muscles) is stronger now — strong enough, in fact, to enable your baby to work on straightening his or her head and neck even more. Baby's crown-to-rump measurement is between four and five inches in length, and weight is hovering around three ounces.
This little one's a looker — with a face that has both eyebrows and eyelashes — but a skinny looker since there's no baby fat yet. And here's the skinny on baby skin: It's practically translucent now, so if you took a peek inside your uterus, you'd be able to see your baby's blood vessels under that thin skin.
