How far along? Finishing up 16 Weeks
Baby is the size of an: Avocado
Total weight gain/loss: Down 1.4 this week for a total of 19.2. Grrrrr..... I ate brownies! And milk shakes! And lots of protein shakes! And donuts! Baby is just eating me from the inside out. Several people at work commented on how thin I look, that I'm still wearing normal clothes, and that I don't even have a bump anymore. They must not have read about what not to say to pregnant women. I might have worried that baby is too small just a few times. Just a few. Maybe.
Symptoms: Nothing really new this week. Honestly it was a pretty boring week as far as the pregnancy goes. But I'm not complaining! I'm LOVING feeling like a human being!
Wedding rings on or off? On, actually they're spinning from being quite loose!
Belly Button in or out? In, but not as deep!
Sleep: The usual. Sleeping better, but waking up throughout the night.
Food cravings: Sweets! Lots of sweets!! and Cheetos!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not a thing! I felt so good this week! I still have this obnoxiousl sensitive gag reflex, but I'm learning to handle it.
Miss anything? Not really?
Happy, Moody, or Emotional most of the time: Emotional. I cry all. The. Time.
Workouts: Really good! I added some more weights!
The Bump: 39ish inches
Have you started to show yet: Yes, but it seems to fluctuate sizes! It freaks me out! Big one day, smaller the next. Like I said, people comment on the bump now, and I've had quite a few unwelcomed belly touchers. Let me remind everyone... If you didn't put it in there (JD) or your aren't helping to take it out (Doctors and Nurses) then DON'T TOUCH please :)
Stretch marks? Not yet.
Maternity Clothes? A few things. The stuff I ordered last week all came in and fit so well! I'm excited to know that I have two store options for cute cheap maternity clothes already lined up. In fact, the dress I'm wearing in the picture is my first official photo in a maternity dress! Although I'm not sure what makes it maternity... Seemed pretty standard maxi to me.
Gender Prediction: Still heavily leaning towards a girl. It just feels so right! I read somewhere this week that in moms that have no gender preference their intuition about baby's sex is right 80% of the time, but in moms that do have a preference their intuition is only right 20% of the time. Now we all know that most statistics online are just mumbo jumbo it seems, but if that one happens to be true then I think it looks like we're having a boy....
Any Names Picked Out Yet: Can't believe baby will have a NAME in just 2 weeks! We've been calling him/her Baby D so long that it will be so strange to start using a name! The funny thing is that we have started saying the two names that we have picked out around our dogs. Denver has NO reaction when we say the boy name. I mean none whatsoever. But when we say the girl's
name OMG he lights right up! He starts going nuts! We've even tried
saying it in all kinds of different tones of voice to make sure it
doesn't sound like something else and he still goes nuts! Denver actually picked his own name this same way! He didn't respond to any other names that I listed off when I first adopted him, but he went nuts as soon as I said Denver! Maybe Denver is hoping for a baby sister too!
Labor Signs: Yeah right
Movement: Less than I had been... which I try not to let concern me, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't. Things like my weight continuing to drop and constantly waking up on my back despite how many pillows I sleep with make me quite nervous that baby isn't developing like he/she should.
Best moment this week: Knowing that Baby D could hear my voice. I started talking to him/her a little bit more and praying for all kinds of things. I also loved that I knew he/she could hear music and that we had a great set list at the Porch! Haha! How funny that I wanted Baby's first Sunday of being able to hear the music at church to be a Sunday with a good set list :)
