16 Weeks

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 16 Weeks

Size of baby: an avocado, or about 4.5 inches long

Total Weight Gain/Loss: I think I'm back up to my pre-pregnancy weight. I don't know what the dr's scale says until next week. My belly seems to be changing shapes too. I always measure at my belly button, and I had gained 4 inches, but now I seem to be back to the size I was before. However, I think that I'm rounder lower down than that. So, it just kinda shifted.

Maternity Clothes: I need more! I've got 2 pairs of jeans and 2 pairs of capris, but I need some dress pants. I can wear pretty much all of the same shirts as before, and usually do. They just get more form-fitting as I get bigger.

Gender: We won't know until the last week of June or first week of July. 1 more month!!!

Movement: I feel spasms and twitches all of the time, but I don't know if it's baby or something else. I had already felt the first tickles of Josiah at this point, but I felt a lot more tickles and twitches from the very beginning this time (when it couldn't have been a baby). So I'm not sure what to think until it gets stronger

Sleep: I've been sleeping a little better, but spend most of the weekend on the couch because I sleep better there since I can sit up and be supported on more sides. I dread going to sleep, though, because it's never enough and I wake up sick every morning.

What I miss: Not throwing up every morning and enjoying sleep

Cravings: I've been craving more pickles and fruit lately.

Symptoms: I haven't been as nauseous during the day, but throw up every morning, just like I did with Josiah. Other symptoms, like incontinence, fatigue, lack of sleep, breast tenderness, etc. are all fairly mild. 

Best Moment this week: Being 4 months today- 6 months left to go!
