16 Weeks




How far along? 16 Weeks
Total weight gain: Oh my!! Went to the doctor and up 4.5 pounds!! Trying to tell myself it is okay!
Maternity clothes? For the first time this week, yes!! They weren’t kidding when they said I would wake up one day and all of the sudden NOTHING would fit. Had a breakdown and went to Target…found three maternity dresses in clearance for $10 each that are SUPER cute!
Stretch marks? No. Now that I am noticing a bump I have decided to preemptively use the stretch mark/cocoa butter cream. I have heard from some people that it works miracles…others not so much. But it can’t hurt, right??
Sleep: Still sleeping well.
Best moment this week: Waking up and seeing a BUMP!!

Miss Anything? Being able to run…and happy hours!
Movement:
(im)patiently waiting. I was hoping for a few flutters this week at least, but I will just have to keep waiting I guess.
Food cravings: Nothing specific…but just VERY interested in eating right now! I am baking and cooking several treats a week, and hubby is getting spoiled!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Still staying away from mushy things.
Gender: Come on team blue!! Found out at the doctor on Monday that we will confirm the gender at about 19 weeks on June 11th. Let the countdown begin!! (also I better start hunting down all the receipts for the past few weeks worth of blue purchases..)

Labor Signs: No.
Symptoms: Not feeling pregnant at all. I feel stretched out like crazy around the middle and have had some pretty bad low back pain..but that’s it. Not even sure if that is from the pregnancy or the insane amount of food I have been eating.
Belly Button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off? On!

Happy or Moody most of the time: Excited/happy every time I look at the calendar and see the weeks going by. Also very happy to finally be showing..it feels much more real now.
Looking forward to: Confirming the gender of course. And looking forward to summer….despite the fact that I will be a whale by the pool without a drink in my hand. Oh well..sacrifices!!
