16 weeks! 4 months down!!

Merry Christmas Everyone!!! Sending much love and warm wishes today!! Please have safe travels, great food, and enjoy time with family and friends!!

WE LOVE YOU!

Eric and I are already having such a fun Christmas morning! We did stockings for each other this year and just laughed and enjoyed every second of opening them!!
We celebrated Christmas with my family last night! Great food, opened gifts, and watched It's a Wonderful life! I made a red velvet cake which no one but Eric and I had tried before and everyone LOVED it! It was a hit, which made me fell great!

Today we are heading to the Sorenen's to celebrate Christmas! Looking forward to seeing everyone! Annie and Mike are in from England and Gramie and Grampie will be there as well! It's always fun to see Cali open Christmas presents! Christmas is so special for kids it's fun to see them light up!

Tonight we are going over to my parents again for appetizers and a low key night! My sister and Mike are heading over to a friends house to celebrate this evening so it'll just be the 4 of us! It'll be a nice quiet way to end Christmas!

We have our next doctor's appt on Monday so we are looking forward to that! I have to have some testing done in the next few weeks to see if the baby is developing correctly (no genetic problems) and then we will be told when we will get the prescription to get our ultrasound done at 20 weeks! So we will know within a month what we are having!!!!!!

Here is some info on baby at week 16:
Your Baby




By pregnancy week 16 your baby is more than 4.5 inches long and may weigh almost 3 ounces.
Changes In Your Growing Baby
Your baby is planning on a huge growth spurt in the upcoming weeks. During pregnancy week 16 your baby has grown strong enough to hold his head straighter. Your baby's eyes and ears are moving into their final position and your baby is focusing much of her energy on her circulation system. By 16 weeks pregnant your baby's heart is pumping roughly 25 quarts of blood each day! At 16 weeks pregnant your baby starts growing fine hair on the tope of his head, though some babies will be born very bald despite their best efforts. The color of your baby's hair and even your baby's eyes may change shortly after birth. Many babies are born with blonde hair for example that falls out and turns brown a short time after birth. Still others are born with brown eyes that turn blue within a month or two after birth! Your baby will continue to amaze you in the weeks following pregnancy.

Lots of love,

Eric, Mary and Baby Sorensen
