How far along? 16 weeks
Size of baby? 4.6 inches long (size of an Avocado)
Total weight gain/loss? Lost two more pounds. Down a total of 3 pounds. BUT I know my time will come! I haven't thrown up in 2 1/2 weeks and am starting to crave sweets so I KNOW it's just a matter of time.
Maternity clothes? YES! Several weeks ago I put on my maternity jeans...LOVE THEM! I bought most of my stuff when I was pregnant with Jayden. When my friend Emily got pregnant I let her use them and then added a few things when I was pregnant with Ryland. I lent the stash to Emily again after Ry and got them back after her second baby. J & R are only 30 months apart, so you can imagine between the 4 pregnancies and 6 years, some things are missing and some things need to be missing!
I've been thrifting a little picking up one or two pieces but may have to break down and buy; as thrifting can be hit-or-miss!
Gender? T, J & R ALL say girl. I waiver. I refer to it as "He" but think about girly stuff when I think about buying, decorating, naming, etc. We'll see very soon. My ultrasound is scheduled for Feb. 25th at 9:15!
We have a definite girl's name (which I will totally share either way) and have a couple of idea's for a boy's name but nothing definite.
Movement? YES! It totally caught me off guard the other night. I was sitting on the couch and realized "Oh, I feel a baby moving". So exciting!
What I miss? Nothing really. Now that I'm not throwing up it's been good.
Sleep? Better. I can still sleep on my stomach for short periods of time. There have been several nights when I don't wake up at all. Other nights, just a few times; to go to the bathroom or switch positions.
Symptoms? I burp ALOT (which we quickly blame on "the baby in my belly") and soreness in my lower back.
Notes? I am so excited to find out the gender. I feel like I'm at a stand still until I know!
Cravings? Fruit, sour patch kids, and Valentine's Day conversation hearts!
Best moment of the week? Scheduling the ultrasound date. Have I told you that I'm excited?
What we are looking forward too? Finding out the gender. Hope he/she cooperates!
I'm going to do a Guess the Gender post with all the wives tales and my results soon!
