16 weeks!



How far along: 16 weeks
Size of baby: Avocado, 4.6 inches
Weight gain/loss: +7 pounds, 125, no weight gain this week and I actually tried to stay off the scale...it sometimes depresses me :/
Maternity clothes: A little of both :) I can still wear my pants and tops, they are just not comfortable anymore. The belly band works, but it is tight and after a long day and belly bloat I would rather wear maternity pants. My tops are a lot shorter on me now due to my expanding chest, so I either wear longer tanks underneath my tops or maternity tops.
Gender: ??? This baby will be a surprise!
Movement: starting to feel the baby more...I was in an IEP on Thursday and I am pretty sure baby kicked and or punched me, it startled me and I jumped in my meeting :)
Sleep: Well the other night I had a mean craving for orange juice so I drank a HUGE glass before bed and was up peeing like every hour, lesson learned. Otherwise sleep is good.
Exercise: Still running, elliptical, weight training, and prenatal pilates.
What I miss: I can't think of anything! I am just feeling so blessed and nothing right now is better then knowing I have a sweet baby developing inside.
Cravings: STRAWBERRIES!!!!Really if something sounds good I want it. Like the other night I wanted a cheese burger so we went to Fuddruckers and it was amazing.
Aversions: pasta with red sauce
Symptoms: I am hungry!!!! I feel more tired this week. I have been having round ligament pain, stretching pain. Also, I have been more short of breath. I never had this with Max but sometimes I'll get up to walk to the kitchen and I can barely catch my breath...not too sure what that's about!
Best moment this week: Max praying, "God, give us a baby sister" and then telling me he is going to take care of his baby and he is going to love her. He also started talking to the baby at night before bed. It is really sweet!
I am becoming more and more excited as the days are just ticking away. I can't wait to have a newborn in the house again!!
