Pregnancy Update: 16 weeks (belated)

To anybody who's following along with the pregnancy updates, I must apologize that I didn't give an update late last week. No worries, here it is:

Thursday, our baby reached 16 weeks. The fetus is now emptying his/her bladder once every 40-45 minutes. I can relate, because whenever I'm out and drinking beer, I follow that same timeline (once I break the seal, of course).

The size is now about 4 inches long, weighing 3 ounces. That's the same weight as the adult pygmy marmoset, the world's smallest monkey. However, the pygmy marmoset still has a significant height advantage over our little fetus. Most of that is probably due to the monkey's long tail.

Although it would be a nice conversation piece, I'm hoping our child is born without a tail. I have no idea where we'd find an appropriate carseat.
