Eloise at 16 weeks

Eloise weighs about 3 ounces and is about 4.5 inches long this week, or the size of an avocado. During this week, it has strengthened its facial muscles and can make facial expressions. Its eyesight is strengthening, and eyelashes are forming.

For those of you who have asked and have been concerned, we are on the list to get our H1N1 vaccines tomorrow. We have been so fortunate not to have it at our house. When we saw Dr. Whitby on Monday, he said his clinic has seen over 500 cases so far. I am so thankful that we have not had to go through that! I will rest a LOT easier tomorrow night knowing my family is a little safer.
