How far along?
16 Weeks
Baby is big as a:
Avocado
Bump?
Not really :( I just feel a little pudgy around the middle
Total weight gain/loss?
Ya.. I don't let the nurse tell me. I like to be in the dark on that one :S
Maternity clothes?
Tons. I bought some at target, old navy, gap and www.motherhoodmaternitycanada.com (they have the cutest stuff!) I am slowly packing away all of my old clothes and filling up my maternity closet. I don't want to stretch out or wreck any of my prebaby clothes. I wanted to still feel pretty and confident, its hard for me to wear my old clothes when they don't fit the same. I figure after the baby I can pack away these maternity clothes to save for my next pregnancy.
Sleep?
I already wake up at least 2 if not 3 times a night to go pee. Normally I can zombie my way back to bed without waking up too much, but some nights I have trouble getting back to sleep or getting comfortable.
Movement?
My placenta is very inferior which has allowed me to feel tiny movements already. Only if I am lying down and paying attention :)
Best moment this week?
When I came home from work and Nick had cleaned the house
Symptoms?
Most of my symptoms have gone away now that I'm in my 2nd trimester. I am still pretty tired but not near as bad at my 1st trimester!
Food cravings?
Potato Chips, Sour Soothers, Water, Ground Beef, Flaming Hot Cheetos.... Oh ya and tons of salad and veggies and fruits and all that healthy stuff too ;)
Food aversions?
Normally I am a HUGE sweet tooth but I am not in the mood for sweets these days. I also usually love leftovers and don't mind eating the same thing over and over. Now, however, I don't like eating the same thing twice. Such a bummer for making dinners and lunches!
Gender?
Its a boy! Nick has been so much more interested in my pregnancy and excited since we found out the gender. I was dead set on doing a surprise, but I caved... and I don't regret it!
Belly button in or out?
In
What I miss?
Having energy to sew and do all of my crafts. Straightening my hair, I am so lazy.
What I'm looking forward to?
Nick being able to feel the baby and getting a real baby bump!
