baby belly

haven't really posted much about the pregnancy so far. i am sixteen weeks this week, which means the baby is about the size of an avocado. the fruit/veggie references were pretty amusing to me when i was pregnant with greta, and greta strangely enough had avocado for snack today. wait....that seems cute and interesting to me until i typed it.
anyway, our second baby is about the size of an avocado. in just four short weeks we will get to find out if we are having a boy or a girl. any thoughts? joe thinks girl, i feel like maybe this one's a boy. but who knows, really. this pregnancy has luckily been about as smooth as the last one, so far. they are monitoring my platelet levels and blood pressure a little more closely this time, since that is what sent me so quickly to the operating room with greta at 37 and a half weeks. but i'm feeling good. starting to show. and who doesn't love an avocado??!!
