I know I am SO late in posting this, but life is crazy. I will post another post filling you in on the rest of our lives (3 doctors appointments this week!), as well as a post on our gender reveal party and ultrasound, but for now, here is the quick update!
How far along? 16.5 Weeks
How big is baby? 5 inches, 5 oz As big as a turnip! Or a better frame of reference, the baby would fit right into one of my hands. Sweetness.
Total weight gain/loss: Still down. Still not tracking this. =)
Maternity clothes? Nearly exclusively.
Sleep: Sleeping fine as far as pregnancy goes, though I am about a week out from no longer being able to lay on my stomach. As it is I have to angle myself slightly to avoid too much pressure on my lower stomach.
Best moment this week: Finding out the gender! (more on this later)
Movement: Interestingly enough it has sort of calmed down. I thought I would be feeling a ton of movement by now since it started so early, but now when I feel things it is usually big rolls, or the occasional kick to the cervix. No taps yet.
Food cravings: No cravings. Still wanting to eat more often than "normal" but the ravenous hunger has subsided.
Food Aversions: No aversions though I am still very sensitive to smells in foods (like onions which normally bug me, make me nauseous now).
Gender: It's a boy!!!! Again, more on that later.
Labor Signs: I actually saw a contraction during our gender ultrasound last week- it was crazy. And will be talking to my OB today because I've been having some cramping which makes me nervous. I do not need to be placed on bed rest for this pregnancy!
Pregnancy Symptoms: Round ligament pain, almost can't lay on my stomach, extra tired, and just feeling more pregnant each and every day.
Belly Button in or out? In
What I miss: Not much. Just energy I guess.
What I am looking forward to: Wrapping my brain around this whole having a boy business!
Upcoming appointments/events: The anatomy scan is May 29th
Weekly Wisdom: Listen to your gut- I knew I was having a boy but didn't trust it!
Milestones: Finding out the sex
Bump Picture: 16.5 weeks!
