16 Weeks

Week 16

How far along? 16 weks, 1 day

Baby is the size of a: avocado!

Total weight gain: -9 lbs. I gained back two pounds this past week. I have to keep reminding myself that, in this case, gaining weight is a GOOD thing

Maternity clothes?  I’ve been using the ponytail holder trick on my jeans when I leave the apartment. Otherwise, it’s all yoga pants, all the time

Stretch marks? Not yet

Sleep: Having trouble sleeping at night, but I sleep fine during the day

Best moment this week: Saturday was a GREAT day for me. I felt completely fine and we went on a 2 mile walk, I cleaned the apartment and we went out to dinner with Mark’s friends where I ate my whole meal and possibly half of Mark’s…

Miss Anything?  I miss last week when I was feeling better

Movement: Still feeling some very slight movement, but I’m ready to know for sure.

Food cravings: Still peanut butter and still juice.

Anything making you queasy or sick: The thought of beef. Ew.

Gender:  Still thinking girl

Labor Signs: None

Symptoms: My belly is hard as a rock. I always imagined rock hard abs, but not like this! My feet feel like they’re on fire when I’m in bed at night, so I keep them propped up to help. And sharp stabbing pains in my abdomen whenever I sneeze, cough, or vomit. Pretty sure it’s round ligament pain, but I’m asking at my doctor’s appointment tomorrow to be sure. Oh, and did I mention I’m throwing up again?

Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy, mostly, but bummed that I’m back to feeling like crap.

Looking forward to: Consistently feeling better. I feel like my week of relief was either a birthday present or an early April Fool’s Day joke from God.
