Month 4 Bump Watch

As promised here is your Month 4: 16 week, bump watch photo (and yes I did cut 7 inches off of my hair this morning in an attempt to distract you from how fast my belly is growing). J/K I love my little bump, but it is much bigger this time around. At 16 weeks with Hannah I was a bridesmaid in my friend's wedding wearing a size four tight dress and I don't think you could even tell. Well this little guy is making a grand showing early. At 16 weeks, baby is 5 inches long or the size of an avocado. He can hear voices from the outside world, sleep and even have dreams. Baby is kicking, making fists and even somersaulting. I feel him move about twice a day and it is subtle in nature but still there. People are asking us more and more frequently about the name and we are not hiding anything just don't know yet. I'd say there are four contenders but who knows, I change my mind frequently. Just last week I thought I had it down to two. Hannah is so much fun. She makes me laugh and smile every day. I feel like the luckiest mom in the world and I can't wait to see her as a big sister. I have a feeling she will be a great helper, but also let baby boy know who's boss from day one. Baby boy take it from me, just don't encroach on her time with her Ne, her Dog, or the color purple and you'll be good to go. In all seriousness I am so excited to see their relationship grow. My brother and I are very different, but no matter what I have his back and he has mine. It's a good feeling. I learned in biology class back in the day that you are more genetically similar to your siblings than anyone else including your parents. Now I did take biology at a community college so who knows if that is true of not, I'm sure Uncle Jeff could tell us, but the point is how awesome to have a built in friend, protector, and supporter for life. Doctor's appointment on Wednesday this week and Daddy turns 30 on Thursday. Maybe it's my OCD side coming through but I like how Tim will be 30 when the baby is born. It's a nice round easy number to remember that they will be thirty years apart. Ok this post is starting to ramble and become all over the place.
