I am officially sixteen weeks pregnant today! We have our anatomy ultrasound scheduled for Jan. 26th, so excited to find out what we will be having. Clyff wants a boy, I want a girl, but of course we will both be happy with either sex, all we want is a healthy baby. Here is what is happening this week in terms of development- Your baby is about 4 to 5 inches long — about the length of a large pear.
- Your baby's skeletal and nervous systems connect enough to allow him to coordinate movement.
- When you're 16 weeks pregnant, developed facial muscles make it possible for your baby to squint, frown, or try other facial expressions.
- As back muscles strengthen, your baby is able to straighten his posture a little.
- Your baby now has eyelashes.
- By your 16th week of pregnancy, your baby's eyes move side-to-side and even perceive some light, although his eyelids are still sealed.
- Your baby's bones build and strengthen with the help of your body's calcium!
- Your baby already might be having tiny hiccups, although when you’re 16 weeks pregnant, your baby is not large enough for you to feel them yet!
