16 week bumpdate

Pregnancy Highlights

How Far Along: 16+2

Size of baby:  this week, an avocado. And no, not just the seed.

Weight change: +14

Maternity Clothes:  oh you betcha!  Bambam is making her appearance quite noticeable now.

Gender:  eeep we don't know but are eager to find out!!! We have an elective ultrasound sometime soon.... we'll see how long I can hold that secret.  Heading home in a few weeks and I want to tell the new grandparents in person.  :)

Movement: not yet.  A few times I've been all "is that it?" Nothing definitive thus far.

Sleep: muuuuch better. Thank gooness! This week we've slept in super soft & fluffy mattresses (at the in-laws places.) I have despised these for the longest.   Matter of fact, I hated J's old mattress so much that we gave it to his mom and got a new one.  We slept on said mattress for 3 nights this week. That sucker was COMFY!

Symptoms: heart burn& indigestion.  Waaaah.  Yesterday morning I resorted to a mouthful of baking soda with a chaser of water. Blech.

What I miss: not being tired all the d@mn time!

Cravings: burgers.  Banana pudding.  Both of which were fulfilled this week aplenty by southern family ;)

Aversions: hmm... nothing that I can think of now.  Eating was far from a problem this week.  Ha.

Innie or outie: innie, though J mentioned last night it didn't feel as deep as usual.  Ruhroh!

Favorite Moment This Week: We got showered with all sorts of Razorback baby gear. Sooooo cute!  Also the fam was real good at taking good care of me ;)

Worst Moment This Week: trying not to be a party pooper by staying up late & getting up super early (with no nap!) Exhausting.

Looking Forward To: that ultrasound, baby!

Anything else?:  blood sugar round 2 came back fine. Phrew.  Bp has been up & down but also mostly normal. Double phrew.

Daddy update: daddy's getting excited!  He's taking good care of baby mamma <3  getting to be a pro at making perfect breakfast eggs. He likes to rub my belly to say nighty night bambino!
