We had our 16 week ultrasound and OB appointment and it went really well. The baby measured a little big (measured 16 weeks, but I was actually 15 weeks 4 days), had a strong heartbeat at 144 and weighed 4 ounces. They confirmed we are expecting a little boy. We are so excited!
This pregnancy has been flying by and I'm still feeling great, but definitely feel tired. It's hard to keep up with Grayson as he is going a mile a minute. I'm not sure how I'm going to handle two boys (oh my!), but I know I'll figure it out, especially since Grayson will be such a great big brother. :) I always said I would have all boys and I can't believe my vision is coming true. I'm so happy and still shocked that I'm having another baby. We are so blessed. Now we just have to wait for baby boy #2...24 more weeks to go!

Here's what BabyCenter says about 16 weeks:
Get ready for a growth spurt. In the next few weeks, your baby will double his weight and add inches to his length. Right now, he's about the size of an avocado: 4 1/2 inches long (head to rump) and 3 1/2 ounces. His legs are much more developed, his head is more erectthan it has been, and his eyes have moved closer to the front of his head. His ears are close to their final position, too. The patterning of his scalp has begun, though his locks aren't recognizable yet. He's even started growing toenails. And there's a lot happening inside as well. For example, his heart is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood each day, and this amount will continue to increase as your baby continues to develop.
