Week 16

Getting bigger and bigger!  Have an appointment in the morning so I'll have an update after that.  Holding around 4 pounds gained so far even though it looks like more.  Also, via a friend's blog I think I've solved the "waking up dehydrated" mystery.  The amniotic fluid is completely replaced every few hours (every 3 hours by the 3rd trimester!).  During the day I'm drinking plenty of water to help with that.  But overnight I go 7-8 hours without replenishing the fluid THUS - wake up super dehydrated....very very interesting!  Also,  Christa is visiting with her mom and my parents and she loves to say hi to the baby and give him/her kisses :-)
