How Far Along? 16 weeks
Size of Baby? 4.5 inches long, 3.5oz, about the size of an avocado
Maternity Clothes? Yes, I am definitely digging them out. Some of my stretchier jeans I can still wear unless I’m going to be sitting for a while and then it’s really uncomfortable. I mostly wear maxi skirts or leggings or maternity pants.
Weight Gain? about 2.5 lbs
Stretch Marks/belly button? I don’t know. My entire abdomen is basically one big stretch mark so I have no clue if they’re new or old or in between.
Baby’s Sex? Still no clue, which is a bit annoying. I knew Ben was a boy, but this time I’m just not sure. I’m getting headaches (did with Abbie, didn’t with Ben), but I don’t know if they’re hormonal or stress/tension related. I’ve been pretty emotional which makes me think maybe girl, but that could just be wishful thinking.
Sleep? Still good. I’m getting some minor back/pelvic pain, but not enough to wake me up yet. I’ve still be somewhat tired so that could be why I sleep like a log.
Food Cravings? Chicken – BBQ chicken pizza, which I don’t think I’ve ever ordered before this pregnancy. Chicken avocado sandwiches (usually I prefer burgers). I used to love having ice cream or pop corn before bed and I don’t really want either of those now. I usually have cereal. Just odd.
Best Moment This Week? Seeing baby A on ultrasound at our last appointment. It’s little legs were crossed.
What I am loving? All of Abbie’s questions and comments about the baby and how it’s going to get here and what we’ll do with it and how I am feeling and when she’ll be able to feel it move.
Movement? I’ve felt some weird stuff that I’m still not exactly sure what is. But very occasionally I can feel the baby move. I’m excited for it to be more regular.
What I’m looking forward to: Dec 15th when we get to have the big ultrasound!!
Other Updates… At my OB appointment last week my doctor said, “You knew you’d lost the baby when you came in, didn’t you?” She said that that was amazing that I had that intuition and that she could tell by my voice that I knew. I found that interesting. Oh, and baby B is still in there, but about the size of baby A’s head right now. Kind of odd.
16 week ultrasound – I honestly have no clue what that is except for the round looking thing on the left is it’s head with maybe it’s little hand right in front of it’s face. ?? Either that or I’m growing an alien.
