Week 16

We are contemplating middle names for our little man.. We have decided on Brody as a first name, but Brent wants Jett as the middle name and I want Lee.. I wanted Brody in the first place, so I may have to compromise. Brody Jett Philmon is a catcher though! :)

Something very exciting this week: Brody got his furniture thanks to Grandma Phyllis!! It is precious! I have always loved black furniture, so we got a crib and chest. The crib actually will grow with him! It turns into a toddler bed, day bed, and into a FULL size bed.. so cool! Now, I am carefully looking at bedding.. Decisions, decisions!

Have to go for the most dreaded OB appointment: blood work! Yuck!

From BabyCenter.com: 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, about the size of an avacodo, 4 1/2 inches long (head to rump) and 3 1/2 ounces. His legs are much more developed, his head is more erect than 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.
