16 Weeks

I’m still here. I feel like every post I’ve started recently begins that way.  I just can’t keep up, and I’m exhausted, although I shouldn’t be seeing as I’ve been sleeping like a rock at night.  I’m hoping the exhaustion is going to bring on a baby growth spurt! I’m still not showing and lots of people made sure to let me know that this past weekend.  BTW, that’s obnoxious. When you see someone is pregnant don’t tell them they look like they’re having twins or that they don’t look pregnant at all.  I am very well aware that I’m going to be big before I know it and I should welcome the fact that my body isn’t ready to completely let go yet, but for real just don’t comment unless you’re a friend/family and I invite the comments.

So here are some pictures from this morning 16 weeks even. I have a doctor’s appointment tomorrow so fingers crossed everything with baby is still going well and that they’ll let me schedule my anatomy scan.

 

·         How far along are you? 16 weeks .

·         Total weight gain: no idea. I’ll update you tomorrow. I can still fit in my regular clothes though so hopefully that means the gain isn’t obscene.

·         How big is baby?: approx. 5” long, so about the size of a turnip

·         Maternity clothes: I have been wearing some maternity pants here and there but I don’t really need them yet, I just like how comfy they are.

·         Stretch marks?: nope!

·         Sleep?: its been great. seriously hard sleeps. Although I still wake up exhausted. This morning Ben took one look at me and was like, um you look terrible what can I do to help you get out the door.

·         Best moment this week?: being snowed in with Ben on Sunday:)

·         Movement?: I am feeling taps! So I started feeling them right before 15 weeks but they haven’t been consistent and are very light, so I’m sure they happen and I’m just not noticing them.

·         Food cravings?: nothing

·         Food aversions?: I don’t like green tea anymore, I stick to chamomile

·         Labor signs?: negative

·         Belly button in or out?: in

·         What I miss: nada!! Someone asked me the other day if I’m missing wine and really I’m not.

·         What I'm looking forward to: a baby bump still. For real I look at photos of people at the same stage as me and they have full on bumps.

·         Milestone: um I’ve made it another month! Happy to just be healthy and nurturing this baby as it grows.

That’s my update!  I hope to get on here more this week….does anyone want to work, clean, wrap presents, and move my sister out of my house for me so I have more time to blog?
