16 weeks

I am 16 weeks pregnant today - that means I'm starting the 5th month. All this dating stuff gets very confusing. Anyway, this is what my calendar says about the baby:

"The fetus is about 5 1/2 inches long and weighs 3 ounces. It can swallow! It has preliminary toenails and can move its eyes (though there's not a lot to see in there)." I'm not sure about the 5 1/2 inches because some things I read say 3 1/2 - who really knows?

Also, I found this more interesting information on another site:

"Genital organs clearly differentiated, grasps with hands, swims, kicks, turns, somersaults, (still not felt by the mother.)" Dave will especially like that bit of information.
