16 Weeks - Pregancy #2

Each Sunday, I'd like to do a highlights post, including a picture, summarizing the differences in my pregnancy from week to week.  I totally "grabbed" this idea from Kelly.  I did this with my pregnancy with Hadley, as well, and I still think it is a great way to jot down the things that I don't want to forget later on.  I'll probably write these on Saturday nights and attach the picture the next day.  That way I can stay semi-technology free :)

Pregnancy Highlights:

How far along:  16 weeks 

Size of baby:  Baby Love is around 5 inches long and the size of an avocado

Total weight gain/loss:  Ok, The Bestie told me that I shouldn't count all of those pounds and that I should only count starting at my pre-pregnancy weight.  So, with that being said, I've gained 1 1/2 pounds.  Haha, I don't really think that's accurate, but it makes me feel a little better. :)  

Maternity clothes:  Comfy tops, maternity shirts, Be Band, jeans, pajamas.

Gender:  Well, our OB couldn't get a clear enough picture (and the baby wouldn't cooperate, hah!), so we're still left with what the specialist and her technician told us when I was 11 weeks.  I'll have another ultrasound at 18 weeks when I go back for my scheduled appointment, so maybe we'll find out then.  I'm actually in no big hurry to find out this time (but The Husband REALLY wants to know!).

Movement:  I've felt a few flutters this week.

Sleep:  I'm sleeping well; I'm just not getting enough of it!

What I miss:  Hmmm, queso at Mexican food restaurants and sleeping on my back.

Cravings:  An occasional Chocolate Frosty or chocolate shake and salt and vinegar chips

Symptoms:   I'm tired.  I feel like a broken record.  That's my response when people ask how I'm feeling.  I am feeling better in the nausea department.  There were a few rough mornings this week when I thought I'd lose what was in my stomach, but I toughed it out.

Exercise:  I'm still doing the pilates video, and Thursday, I finally made it back to the gym!  I'm hoping to do some of both during the week.

Belly Button in or out: In still! Yay!

Wedding ring on or off: On :)

Happy or moody most of the time: Hmm.  Tough one.  This week has been a "moody" week, unfortunately.

Looking forward to: I'm looking forward to finding out the "official" sex of the baby in a few weeks!

Best moment this week:  The best moment this week was getting the call from my OB's office saying that all of my blood work (the ones to check for antibodies attacking the baby) came back great!
