16 Week Update

16 weeks today!

The babes are the size of an avocado and about 3.5 ounces each. In the next few weeks they will double their weight and add inches to their length.

Their heartbeats are really easy to find with the doppler now. One is usually sitting lower left and the other is higher up to the right. I can tell they are moving around because I'll find a strong, loud heartbeat on the doppler and as if they know I'm listening, the little stinkers move away and I have to find the heartbeat again! It's amazing to learn that right now, as I listen to those heartbeats, their hearts are pumping 25 quarts of blood each day.

Still no flutters or feeling them move.
