16 weeks

Tuesday, December 10, 2013

How far along: 16 weeks!
Baby bump:  It's getting there! Definitely getting bigger.
Gender Prediction:  Boy
Weight gain: 4 lbs
Maternity clothes:  Not yet.  Still just rocking the maternity leggings so far.  I occasionally will wear a maternity shirt because I like the longer length.
Stretch marks:  None so far!
Belly button in or out:  In.  Although I did take my belly button ring out this week.  Baby bump + belly button ring = not hot.
Wedding rings on or off:  On
Sleep:  Still sleeping great.  Still waking up around 3am for a bathroom break.
Best moment this week:  Feeling a little movement?!
Worst moment this week:  Watching all the Victoria's Secret Runway Show commercials.  It should be a crime to show those in a pregnant woman's home.
Miss anything:  Beer.  Wine.  Jimmy John's Italian Night Club.  
Movement: I'm going to say yes to this one!  I don't necessarily feel the "flutter" that so many other women speak of, but I feel a sort of "knocking" sensation, like baby is saying "Hi Mom, I'm here!"  I felt it last week, and thought it was just a muscle twitch or gas... but I feel it this week a little stronger and a little more frequent.  Although I could be crazy and it could all just be in my head.
Cravings:  The usual suspects:  Milk, orange juice, limeade, cherry limeade, fruit.  These have been my main cravings since week 6.  Also this week:  Wendy's Spicy Chicken Sandwich and rotisserie chicken sandwiches with hot pepper cheese and horseradish sauce.
Queasy or sick:  Eggs still make me queasy.  I got sick on them during week 7 or so.... Up until the past week the thought of eggs made me want to vomit.  In fact, they actually sounded good over the weekend.  Until I took two bites.  I still can't do eggs.  
Happy or moody:  Happy, mostly!  I'm still super sentimental and can cry at the drop of a hat.  For instance, during How the Grinch Stole Christmas.  Or during Church.  My goal for this pregnancy is to make it through Church at least one time without tears.  
Looking forward to:  More movement!!
