Week 16




Guacamole anyone?  This week the baby is the size of an avocado!  He or she weighs about 3 and a half ounces and is about 4 and a half inches long.  The baby's heart is pumping about 25 quarts of blood each day and toenails are growing!  Pretty awesome.
The top picture is our first ultrasound that was taken at 8 weeks.  All you can really see is a little blob, but it is the cutest little blob we have ever seen. :)  We could see the little heart beating in the ultrasound, but at that point it was too small to hear the heartbeat.
We have had a crazy week.  Pepperdine is back in full swing and students are everywhere! Thomas is teaching college class at church on Sunday mornings, teaching a public speaking class on Mondays and Thursdays, and leading/speaking at Collide on Wednesday nights.  This weekend is just as full--tomorrow we are heading down to the beach for Fun Under the Son, have friends coming into town, and Thomas is tag team preaching Sunday morning!  We are excited that students are back and looking forward to a great year.

I can definitely tell I'm in love with baby fitz already... I even got a little misty eyed seeing the ultrasound picture again!
