16 Weeks

How Far Along: 16 weeks

Size of baby: Baby #2 is the about the size of an avocado (4.5 inches and 3.5 ounces). 

Total Weight Gain/Loss: I’m not sure. Around 6-7 lbs, maybe. 

Maternity Clothes: I wore maternity jeans for the first time Friday. 

Gender: We won't know for a few more weeks still. 

Movement: Definitely! It's much more frequent for the last couple of days, when I'm still. 

Sleep: I've been sleeping great! I don't have to get up every night to pee! I haven't even been sleeping with the pillow. I think I need to start 'cause I keep reading that you should sleep on your left side. I always end up as much on my belly as I can. Speaking of the belly, it has definitely started to grow this week! 

Cravings:  Bojangles spicy fries. 

Symptoms: The acne, still. It's out of control on this forehead! 

Best Moment this week: I went to the dr Tuesday. All was great! My bottom number on my blood pressure was a little high, but I have been keeping a log at home and it has been great. Dr. Hurd was not at all concerned and is very pleased with my log! The best moment of the week was hearing baby's heartbeat. The nurse found it quickly and then lost it. There was all of this scratchy noise, which I thought was me breathing. Then she says, "He's moving all over the place." That's what all of the scratchy noise was. It's crazy to know that your baby is moving so much inside of you and you can't feel it. And of course Dusty wanted to know if she really thought it was a boy! I need to put up a gender vote this week!
