16 Weeks

I got this idea from Anna at Hope Road and Anna (different one) at Young and Married :) I am on my last day of my 16th week but I wanted to start doing this so here we go:

(Just a little bit blurry!)



Size of baby:
My baby is the size of an avocado this week! It is about 4 1/2 inches long. I love how Baby Center has weekly updates it is so much fun to see how much a week makes a difference in the baby! :)

Total weight gain: 
I have probably gained about 7ish pounds at this point. Heh, yeah, about the whole body widening thing...yeah that takes getting used to lol :) I am carrying really low and it pops right out! You can definitely tell now that I am pregnant!

Maternity clothes:
I am wearing all things LOOSE right now! Nothing tight because it is so uncomfortable! I love skirts because they are so loose and not restrictive! Looking for a pair of maternity jeans though because we are heading back to NY in December and oh I shiver just thinking about it!!!

Movement:
I love starting to feel my little bean move! It is amazing! It is little flutters and the farther I get along the stronger they are getting. Jason even got to feel it moving which was so awesome! It is so much fun :) I can hardly wait till it starts moving and I can start seeing it moving!

Sleep:
Still sleeping really well so far! I am thankful for that :)

What I miss:
I miss my old clothes. Jeans. Skirts. Shirts. Sniff. Lol :) Pre-pregnancy weight...those were the days! That is one thing that I am worried about losing it but I am not going to think about it now :)

Cravings:
I am not really like craving sugar if anything I am more salty stuff (ok so, tortilla chips with melted cheese oh wow amazing!).

Symptoms:
I was super nauseous and exhausted my first trimester but now it is starting to abate thankfully! :)

What I am looking forward to:
Feeling the baby really start to move as it grows! The flutters are so wonderful now! Also knowing it can hear me so I can start speaking scripture over it.

Milestone(s):
I would lump that with the best moment this week :)

Best moment this week:
I had a scare this week and went to my midwife. She helped calm my fears and then once she explained what was going on she put me on the ultrasound. There my little baby was moving and wiggling and healthy. I almost cried from the relief! THEN, the Lord blessed us even more! We unofficially found out what we are having! I am waiting to say though until we have our official ultrasound within the next two weeks :) God is so amazing! It has been a wonderful week :) God is gracious!

Hope you all are having a great week :)
