(I was very tempted to cut my face out of this picture. You can really see my acne/pigmentation (although I don't have any makeup on), but still...it sucks). So don't look at my face, ok? I have brought your attention to it now, so that most likely backfired on me...)
How far along? 16 Weeks
Size of Baby: Avocado (4.5 inches long, 3 ounces)
Waist: I forgot to measure before I ate dinner, so I will measure tomorrow and then update.
Total weight gain: 3 lb. I am doing pretty good at this "gain one pound a week" thing!
Maternity clothes? Still wear my maternity bra all the time. I am able to wear yoga pants everyday to work (lucky me, right?!), so I don't have to worry much about wearing maternity pants. I do wear my maternity jeans on the weekends though.
Stretch marks? None yet.
Sleep: Still wake up quite a bit and lay in bed waiting to fall asleep when I do. I did go to bed at 8:30 again last night...
Best moment this week: Finding out the gender and being able to share the news with the parents and sister spur of the moment. It is so nice being able to say he/him instead of it.
Miss anything? Being able to put medication on acne spots.
Movement: Not yet. Hopefully very soon!
Food cravings: Still craving my mexican. Had El Maguey on Sunday and fajitas tonight. I guess I am really craving greasy, non-healthy food (that's nothing new though). I always want fast food, especially at lunch time.
Anything making you queasy or sick: The smell of ground beef cooking. I used to love the smell. Now its disgusting.
Gender: There's a little boy in there!
Labor signs: No.
Symptoms: Again, another good week. Of course there are the usual suspects: constipation, gas, nausea when time to eat. I have been experiencing round ligament pain, a sharp pain in the lower abdomen when quick movement occurs. For me I feel that when I sneeze. Ouch! I have been a little crampy too, but that is all normal.
Belly button in or out? In. I do feel like it is getting shallower and that my belly button ring sticks out a little more. I'm going to have to take that out soon.
Wedding rings on or off? On.
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy.
Looking forward to: Week 16 is big because the baby can now hear me and I may start feeling him inside me. So I am very excited to start feeling movement!
Fact: His heart is now pumping 25 quarts of blood every day, and his bladder is emptying every 45 minutes. His limbs are even more developed and his movements have become increasingly coordinated. He doesn't have any hair yet, but the patterning of his scalp has begun. (-Everyday Family)
I am shocked at how big I look in these pictures. I really don't think I look that big until I see the pictures each week. You can really start to tell though! Exciting!
