one thing great about this city is all the yummy places to eat and i've really grown to love the selection of ethnic food - from thai, to korean, to veitnamese, to ethiopian, to persian...you name it and we've got it (except a good russian restaurant with the tragic closing of cafe somavar). well, tuesday night i wasn't feeling up to cooking or leftovers so my baby-daddy and i went to have dinner at india palace. yum yum! i love me some indian food :) it was dee-lish. i guess peanut thought so too because as soon as we got home i felt a little dance going on in there (and no it wasn't something else!)...there were little feet flying everywhere! i can't wait until my ultrasound on april 11th to see if the place i've felt all the little flutters and kicks is where peanut's feet are. maybe i should have some indian food for lunch and we can sit back and watch the little one dance around!
here's my 16 week belly shot. i don't know if you can tell from the picture, but people can really tell now that i'm preggo. it's a funny thing to have someone ask you if you're pregnant. what if i said "no -- i've just put on a few pounds, okay"? maybe i should try that :) just kidding...i love to share the wonderful news and it makes my day to see someone smile because they see me and my little belly coming down the hall. little peanut is already making so many people happy and the little one is not even out in the world yet!
saturday we'll be 17 weeks along! woo hoo! peanut is about the size of an onion (although i don't really like that visual picture...it makes me think of an onion with a sweet baby smell). here are baby's other stats:
Baby is forming brown fat deposits under his or her skin, by the end of pregnancy this will account for 2-6% of their total body weight. This will help them maintain their body temperature when they are born. Your baby's circulatory system and urinary tract are now working. The baby is "breathing." That is, inhaling and exhaling amniotic fluid, which is great practice for breathing air. Development of the lungs, kidneys, and gastrointestinal system depends on this ability.
Your little bugaboo is a very playful creature! His first toy is the umbilical cord, which he constantly pulls and grabs. He also whiles away the time sucking his thumb, swallowing and blinking. Loud noises outside might actually cause the baby to startle.

Baby weighs about 4-5 ounces and is 6 and 1/4 inches long.
Eyes are more forward than on either side of the face now.
Baby's ears have started to pop from his head.
other fun things to go along with this are my forgetfulness, stuffy nose, and dry eyes thanks to the hormones. fun times :)
