Naomi, you're 16 full weeks! This week, fat begins to be stored under your skin. This helps with metabolism and heat production. Your heartbeat is now regulated by your brain and in the 140s. You're practicing sucking and swallowing. Your eyes can perceive light, though still sealed, and more than likely, you can hear and be startled by loud noises. Your hair is filling in. You weigh about 4 ounces and are about 5.5 inches long. We love you very much!
I occasionally feel unsteady, and often feel the blood run out of my head if I stand quickly. My sciatic nerve and round ligaments still bother me and I occasionally have acid reflux. I still feel more tired than normal. I look in any direction and see so much at the house that needs doing, but can't summon the energy to do it.
My folks took Kathryn tonight to sleep at their house. It gave us the ability to go out to dinner and a movie, and then sleep in later tomorrow morning. We greatly appreciate the break!
