Whelp, I've made it 16 weeks so far. I am 40% done being pregnant already. Just 4 more weeks and I'll be halfway! I'm still loving being pregnant, but I feel like a whale. I'm gaining weight like crazy and haven't figured out how to get it under control yet. Every time I step on the scale I'm afraid of what it's going to say. :p Oh well! At least babies are growing!
How far along? 16 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: gained 5.5 lbs
Maternity clothes: I'm fully in maternity clothes now, yikes! I have totally exploded the past 2-3 weeks.
Stretch marks: Nope
Best moment this wk: I had two best moments. #1 I got to go to a friends baby shower that I haven't seen in forever. #2 We finished everything in the office except the curtains and Jared added a shelf in each of the bedroom closets. So far we are ahead of schedule in getting the house where it needs to be!
Miss anything: I miss being able to bend over without grunting, haha
Movement: I haven't felt very much movement, but last night babies woke me up 2 times from moving around.
Food cravings: I have eaten ice cream probably at least every other day throughout this entire pregnancy so far. I can't help it!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope, but still gag when I brush my teeth. :p
Have you started to show yet: Yes
Genders: Don't know yet
Labor signs: Nope
Belly Button in or out: In
Wedding rings on or off: On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy :)
Looking forward to: my Dr. appt tomorrow. Fingers crossed we can sweet talk him into telling us the genders!This week my babies are each the size of an avocado
I have to sleep with a pillow between my legs nowadays and I can't really sleep on my back anymore. I've noticed that when I go out places, women have started smiling at me. Like, aaawwwwwwwwww there goes a pregnant lady! Apparently everyone like a pregnant lady. I'm starting to get energy back which is WONDERFUL. Jared loves it because he's had homemade dinners for the past week and our house has stayed clean. Yay me! I refuse to use cleaners yet so Jared is stuck cleaning the bathroom. I don't know when it's okay to start using those again... and Jared is being awesome and helping me with pretty much whatever I ask him to do. {Except for running around town to get what "sounds good" at the moment. He refuses to do that, haha}
That's it for this week.
I'll bid farewell with my creepy prego lady picture, haha
P.S. If you haven't yet, don't forget to vote on what you think is in that belly. Boys, Girls or One of each :)
I love reading your posts! I was wanting to get the Twinners the Sing Along song from Disney, The Snow White one, because Jared and I would dance around to those when we were like 3 but they only have it on VHS, and I mean really who has VHS anymore. Just FYI, but you will be getting something cute! Hurry up and find out what your having! I have been browsing Pinterest to find the perfect Barney baby gifts.
ReplyDeleteI called Jared and read your response to him and he started singing songs from the Disney Sing Along, hahaha That's too bad they only make that on VHS! and if the dr. won't tell us the genders tomorrow, we're going to get a 3D ultrasound done the day before v-day, so we'll find out within the next couple of weeks for sure :) The wait is killing me!
DeleteYou're going to love me for this, I promise. :) Did you know that ice cream is the food that most resembles breastmilk? So I say if it has that many benefits it's worth eating if you're craving it. haha. If you go to nourishedandnurtured.blogspot.com it's like the second post down, you can see the comparison.

You're right. I love you for my new knowledge about ice cream. :) I will no longer beat myself up for consuming mass quantities on an almost daily basis, haha.
