16 weeks - What is it?!

How far along? 16 weeks! (Yes, I am terrible at updating. It's been insanely busy around here.)

Baby's what? About the size of an avocado, around 4.5 inches.

Total weight gain? +3

Maternity clothes? Yep. My regular pants definitely don't fit anymore, and my shirts are starting to get snug around the middle.

Sleep? Yay!

Best moment this week? Well, we got a peek at the baby, and discovered that we're having a little BOY! He's not a shy one!

Miss anything? Energy! I've been really tired the past week or so.

Movement? YES! Baby flutters!

Food cravings? Mexican food. Mmmmm...

Anything making you queasy or sick? That's pretty much over for now, thank goodness. However, the heartburn is starting to set in. I still don't really want sweet things, so I guess that's just going to be a trend for this pregnancy. Certain smells are still really bothering me, too.

Symptoms? Heartburn, exhaustion, low blood pressure, and a little anxiety.

Happy or moody? Probably still moody. Not gonna lie. I'm trying to be in control, though.

Looking forward to? Our big anatomy ultrasound at the next appointment!

Next appointment? August 30th.

12 Weeks

How far along? 12 weeks (almost 13, actually!)

Baby's what?! About the size of a lime or a plum, a little bigger than 2 inches.

Total weight gain?  Minus 3 pounds now. Thank you, stomach virus.

Maternity clothes? Pants - yes. Too much tummy pooch for my "real" jeans.

Sleep? I love it soooo much. What's the question?

Best moment this week? There really wasn't one. We had a rough week, I got really sick, and I had to reschedule my OB appointment.

Miss anything? My pants!

Movement? Nope, too early.

Food cravings? Um, I still want potatoes. Nothing else, really.

Anything making you queasy or sick? Most things in the evenings don't agree with me much. I'm still not that crazy about sweets, but it's getting better.

Symptoms? I'm still cold all the time, and I'm still getting nausea in the evenings.

Happy or moody? I'm sure that Nathan and the kids will tell you that I'm moody. Maybe dinner and a movie (child-free, of course) would make me feel better? (Ahem...)

Looking forward to? I'm hoping we will get another peek at the baby soon, but no guarantees.

Next appointment? Tomorrow! 

I'm totally slacking on pictures! I'll take one next week, I promise!
