Pregnancy #2 - 16 Weeks

So at 16 weeks I think I'm finally showing enough to start my weekly belly pics (like I did when I was pregnant with Owen).

I've actually been showing somewhat for the last three or four weeks. It's odd, you pop out sooner, but then you kind of "hold." Since I'm showing sooner, it will be interesting to see if I catch up with where I was size/week-wise from my first pregnancy.

So I figured it would be fun to show side-by-side comparisons. :)

Last time, I started sending out pictures at 18 weels, this time, starting at 16. See below and decide for yourselves, but I think I'm closer to the size I was week 19 more than 18. So 2 1/2 to 3 weeks ahead in size. :)

Pregnancy #2 - Week 16

Pregnancy #1 - Week 18

Pregnancy #1 - Week 19

At this point in the pregnancy the baby is about the size of an avocado. He/she is ~4 1/2 inches long (head to rump) and weighs about 3 1/2 ounces. Over the next few weeks the baby will double in size (and likely so will I ;) ).

I just read that babies increase their weight by 3,000 times from conception to birth. CRAZY! Thank God that doesn't happen to the mommies. You look GREAT!!! :)
