16 weeks

Well, I started my 16th week yesterday and the bump is already showing. Which is expected when you have your second one especially since I just had my son 1 year ago today! Here is whats' going on with the baby this week:

At 16 weeks pregnant, your baby weighs around 3.5 ounces, or roughly the size of a mango. In the upcoming weeks, your baby will double his or her weight and grow several inches from crown to rump!

Your baby can now make faces! Your little one's facial muscles have developed to the point where he or she can make certain faces, such as grimacing and frowning, but your baby has no control over these expressions.

During pregnancy week 16, your baby's fingers are distinct and separate from the others. However, the fingers remain rather short. Your little one has more control over his hands and can even suck his thumb!

Your baby's toes are getting longer this week. The arch of your little one's feet are starting to take shape.
