Round 2: 16 weeks

How far along:  16 weeks!

Baby Size: A can of soda - Dr pepper please! Or an avocado.

Weight:  I'm up between 5 and 6 lbs.

Symptoms:   Gas and the pains that come with it, still nausea at random times.  My restless legs have been a little less obnoxious this week also. 

Maternity Clothes: Shorts, and some tops

Sleep:  It's gotten better at night.  Naps are basically not even worth it because they don't help me at all.  Still not enough though. 

Cravings/Food Aversions:  No strong cravings yet.

Belly Button:  In

Rings on or off:  Although I don't often wear them, I still can. 

Gender:  Lately I've been leaning more towards boy.

Name:  Boy name yes, girl name maybe

Movement: I kind of wish I wouldn't have felt those movements last week because I've felt nothing this week and of course my mind goes to those bad places.  

Stretch Marks: So many thanks to Eleanor

Best moment:  Not baby related, but my friend was in town over the weekend for the first time in 6 months.  So nice seeing her

Looking forward to:  Seeing the baby again next month.

Nervous about: I get irrationally worried with all the twinges and cramps.  

What I miss:  Totally random, but when Eleanor would be whiny I would just pop her on my back in the carrier and It's been uncomfortable lately and she's been having clingy moments and wanting to be held.


Labor signs:  Nope

Appointments:  September 10th for a prenatal appt, and September 11th for the anatomy scan/

Misc. I had a sip of Rob's beer over the weekend.  It was that root beer beer that everyone raves about and is hard to find.  His mom had given him a bottle.  I just had a small sip and it was really good (and I don't like beer) and then he told me to have another so I did.  I probably had the equivalent of 1/2 oz but I still felt like I was being naughty.  It's also the only alcohol I've had since I found out I was pregnant at 3 1/2 weeks.

16 weeks down

I'm pretty sure I need this shirt :)

How far along:  16 weeks

Baby Size:  Avocado or a small stud finder. 

Weight:  126.2, up almost 2 1/2lbs from last week, and 3 1/2 total.  I'd have been surprised if it hadn't gone up.  I ate a lot this last week.  Probably because I went to the grocery store and had options.

Symptoms:  

• I still get nauseated when I don't wear my seabands
• A lot of cramping in the lower stomach, I think that's RLP.
• Wanting to eat all the time
• My gums were bleeding, but I am not very good about flossing so that might be why ::hangs head in shame::

Maternity Clothes:  No, I tired on a pair of jeans that I washed that had the fully belly panel.  They were so lose. Guess I need a belly first.

Sleep:  Still up all night every night, except for last night (only up twice; normal for me)

Cravings/Food Aversions:  I'm at the point where if I see a commercial or something on tv then of course it sounds good.  I'm usually to lazy to leave the house and go find it though, so I settle for what is in the house.

Belly Button: In

Rings on or off: On

Gender:  Still unsure.  I guess I learn more towards girl, but I just really don't have any vibes

Name:  Rob decided to waver on the girl name, maybe I mentioned that last week, so while I still like our girl choice, I've been looking for other names.

Movement: Not yet, but sometimes I try to be still and see if anything feels different, but I still think it's way to early.  I don't expect to feel anything for a few weeks at least.

Best moment: Yesterday was a fantastic day!  Not only was it our 2nd wedding anniversary (see lots of pictures here), but our nephew came 2 weeks early and was born. 

Looking forward to:  Finding out what baby is, feeling the baby, and looking pregnant.

What I miss:  Sleep, sleeping next to Rob.  He sleeps in the guest room.  I don't blame him, but I miss him.  Although he did sleep in our bed last night, and I actually was only up a few times.  I slept a lot better with him there.


Labor signs: Nope

Appointments:  A/s in 2 weeks, regular checkup in 4 weeks. 

Misc.  I had my 16 week appt this morning.  Hearing the heartbeat was a relief (I don't know why I still worry).  It was in the 160's.
