16 Weeks

Jeans | Grey Vest

How far along: 16 weeks

Gender: Girl

Weight gain: 6 lbs. (the exact same as my last pregnancy at 16 weeks)

Maternity clothes: Still not yet, pulling out the hair tie trick on my regular jeans but mostly living in my maternity leggings & pajama pants around the house. Pregnancy gives a whole new meaning to letting yourself go ;)

Stretch marks: No

Belly button in or out: In, but starting to look flat as a pancake

Sleep: Sleeping great.

Best moment this week: Another appointment confirming that everything is looking good & baby is doing well, heartbeat is at 157.

Worst moment this week: Just feeling a little overwhelmed these days. So much going on with work, trying to keep up in toddler town & my holiday to-do list is growing rapidly. I'm not sure any of that has anything to do with pregnancy, but it certainly feels like I have less energy & patience to handle everything. Is it bedtime yet?

Miss anything: Sleeping through the night without waking up to pee!

Movement: More & more each day, finally felt the first kicks this week! Can't wait for Brandon & Harper to be able to feel movement!

Cravings: Popsicles & queso. Not necessarily together but I'm also not opposed.

Queasy or sick: Starting to not like meat all that much, mostly red meat, same as last time.

Looking forward to: The weekend... does that count? Ready to take it easy, get a little Christmas shopping done & enjoy the last weekend before Thanksgiving madness begins!!
