We made it to week 16 - woohoo! This is a huge milestone for us, especially after suffering a loss back in February. Our sweet #rainbowbaby is healthy and very comfy in mommy's belly. 
:) We love her so much; hubby, me, and even KitJuWoo! (They love snuggling with me and laying their head on my tummy - even Juju, who's normally fiercely independent and doing her own thing...)

At week 16, my baby apps say that the little one is the size of an avocado or a pomegranate or the length of a pickle (mmm pickles...).
The little one can now hear, so mommy and daddy are watching their mouths not to say too many bad words.
=P The little ons is also growing hair/lashes/eyebrows and even forming taste buds! Crazy.
My allergies have gotten a lot better, but there are still some days where I am absolutely miserable and want to scream into a pillow. Although my doctor said allergy pills (Benedryl, Claritin, and Zyrtec) are safe - I've tried my best to avoid taking them. I've switched to local honey, a cup of rooibos tea every night, and some hot steam on my face - and it's been manageable.
My tummy has definitely "popped" but I haven't felt comfortable enough to post any baby bump photos because some days I look "obviously pregnant" (as hubby says), and other days it looks like I've had too many burritos. I was struggling a lot with "popping" so early since so many women mentioned that they didn't start showing until 20+ weeks, but I am starting to feel a lot more comfortable and just embrace the bump.
Last but not least - this is around the time (well, anywhere between now and ~20 weeks) where I'll be able to feel the little one moving around. Just thinking about it makes me emotional. I think once I feel those flutters, I'll truly feel pregnant. Every night, before I go to bed - I lay completely still and poke my tummy. So far, I haven't felt any movement. Either it's too early OR she's lazy like mommy and daddy.
;)
Love you princess.<3
