16 weeks

Pregnancy Highlights

How far along: 16 Weeks yesterday 

Size of Baby: About the size of a Turnip (5 inches, 5 ounces)

Total Weight Loss/Gain: No appt this week, but home scale has stayed about the same give or take a .5 pound
Maternity Clothes: Jeans - who knew they were so comfy!  A few tops, but a lot of pre-maternity tops should fit for a long time

Gender: We find out April 26th!  I have my inklings, but we'll see what happens!  

Movement: I think it's still too early to feel anything, but I may have felt a little flutter Friday night.  I was having serious back pain though, so it could have all been in my head.  Haven't felt anything since.  

Sleep: Sleeping better than I had been, but still nothing excellent.  Any sleep is better than no sleep though!  

What I miss: Having energy....still haven't gotten to that 2nd trimester bliss they all talk about

Cravings: Carbs, Carbs, and more Carbs.  Still.   

Symptoms: Headaches are still persistent.  I think I had a growth spurt this week because nausea came back briefly.  

Best moment of the week: Had my first baby dream.  I started having weird dreams a couple of weeks ago, but had my first dream about baby on Monday night.  We were at the BIG gender ultrasound, and let's just say baby made it's gender VERY clear - as in that's all you could see on the ultrasound.  Who knows if it was accurate or not though...I guess we'll see in about 4 weeks!
