Week 16- Baby is the size of an Avacado!

 

16 Weeks

 

Week 16 was another good week! My body is starting to change more drastically, and this is the first week that I've really FELT pregnant. The ligaments in my lower abdomen are stretching, and causing sharp pains/pressure, more so at night than during the day. Even though this is painful, it doesn't last long, and i'm kind of fascinated by it! I swear every day my belly is a little bit bigger than it was the day before.When I put my hand on my belly, it's also starting to round out much more! It's so beautiful to see/feel this transition :-)

 

How far along? 17 weeks today

 

Total weight gain/loss? Won't be doing this part until the next Dr. Appt. I don't trust my sclae at home, so I'm only going off of the "official" one.  

Maternity clothes? Still making my regular clothes work with modifications. I give it 3 weeks until no pants fit, and i'm kind of ok with that. I looked at Motherhood Maternity the other day for the first time, and the preggo jeans really aren't bad! Aside from the waist band, you'd never know they weren't normal jeans, and they're cute/ cheap. 

Stretch marks? None, and I'm being adiment about applying lotion like a mad woman now that everything seems to be expanding quicker than before!

Sleep? Can't get enough of it! And I got the preggo pillow last week, and LOVE IT! Oh my gosh, I can tell such a difference when I sleep with it vs. when I don't.

Best moment this week? Feeling & seeing my belly really starting to change.

Miss Anything? Steak, I like mine cooked Rare, which is a big no-no during pregnancy :-(

 

Movement? No movement yet. If so, it's being over passed by the pains my ligaments stretching is causing. Ha!

 
Food cravings? Not at the same time, but salad & orange juice.

 
Anything making you queasy or sick? I've never been a fan of whipped cream, but smelling it doesn't bother me. For some reason, when Clay sprayed some directly into his mouth the other night, and it sent me running to the bathroom. We were also at dinner with his dad, and grandpa so this was mildly embarassing..... lol.

 
Have you started to show yet? Yes, and I won't be able to hide it for long.

 

Gender? 2 more weeks until we know for sure :-)

 

Labor Signs? Nope

 

Belly Button in or out? In

Happy or Moody most of the time? Happily exhausted

Looking forward to? Finding out the gender :-) We had talked about waiting until birth to find out, but now that we've decided to find out, I'm really excited/anxious about it! Come on Oct. 16th!!!
