16 Weeks (every four week update)

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 16 Weeks

Size of baby: The size of an Avocado: 4.6in, 3.5oz

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 5lbs (my weight constantly fluctuates from gaining to losing to staying about the same. Depends on how much I throw up that day.

Maternity Clothes: A mix of Maternity and regular clothes. With most of my regular pants I have to use the rubber band trick, but the maternity pants are still a little on the big side. I am still wearing my regular shirts.

Gender: I am leaning more toward boy at this point. Will find out the end of June and plan to have a gender revealing party on July 1. Can't wait!!!

Movement: Not for sure. I probably have felt the baby, but it isn't consistent and therefore is hard for me to determine for sure what I am feeling.

Sleep: Not so good. I wake up several times a night to reposition.

What I miss: Brushing my teeth without throwing up, and just feeling well in general.

Cravings: My cravings have kind of gone away, I still prefer salty over sweet but nothing specific. However, a friend did point out to me that I ate a cup of ice cream and then some dill pickles right after, which is a typical craving you hear of, but I DID NOT eat them together...yet.

Symptoms: Nausea, throwing up, Sore muscles, fatigue

Best Moment this week: Thinking I MAY have felt the baby. (and since I only update every 4 weeks because I am a slacker, a highlight this month....) was seeing my sweet little baby at our u/s. S/He even gave us a little wave!!!

12 Weeks

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 5-7lbs (my weight constantly fluctuates from gaining to losing to staying about the same. Depends on how much I throw up that day.

Maternity Clothes: Not yet. Still wearing my regular stuff.I have worn a few maternity pants for fun and OH MY WORD are they COMFORTABLE!!!! I may never go back to regular clothes.

Gender: Don't know yet. Most people I think have a feeling one way or the other. I kind of thought boy at first even though I want a girl, but now I don't feel swayed one way or the other. Maybe twins?? haha

Movement: Not yet. However I swear every once in awhile I have an odd feeling.

Sleep: I wake up every night/early morning to pee and sleeping in isn't as much fun because I wake up feeling sick not rested.

Symptoms: Nausea, throwing up, headache, and itchiness.

Best Moment this week: Hitting 12 weeks and being out of the "danger zone," also coming up this week on Wed. I get to see the baby for the first time. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!
