16 Weeks




How far along? 16 weeks.
How big is baby? Baby is the size of an avocado. Which coincidentally, I'm starting to be able to eat again! Baby's length is roughly 4.5 inches weighing in at 3.5 ounces.
Total weight gain/loss? 3 lbs UP!
Maternity clothes? Not yet.
Sleep? My sleep has taken a little bit of a downward dive since I stopped the progesterone. I have to get up to to pee every few hours so I never really feel that rested. Or at least for very long periods at a time.
Best moment this week? Hearing baby's heartbeat on the doppler last Friday! Strong and steady at 150.
Symptoms? Nausea has let up thank the Lord but the past two nights I've been a little "meh." Energy is returning and I'm feeling a lot better than I did in the first tri.
Food cravings? The Lettuce-Wich at Which-Wich. You must try it. My Shakeology shakes. I seriously CRAVE them now!
Food aversions? Not really loving potatoes which is weird since I ate so many baked potatoes ala Wendy's first tri.
Gender? After going back and forth, I have no idea. It's either a boy or a girl. =) 
Labor signs? No.
Belly button in or out? In.
Exercise? I added this category just now! :-) I'm happy to say I've started exercising again which my body loves and hates. I love the energy boost but have been SORE from not doing anything for so long. Not to worry though - I'm keeping it low impact with light weights. Still. Sore!
What I miss? Not a lot. I'm loving this.
What I'm looking forward to? Feeling this sweet little munchkin move AND finding out the gender on July 9th! That day cannot get here fast enough!
Milestones? Second trimester is in full swing. Weight is going up a little. These things are good things.
Bump? I'm starting to get one! Depending on the top I'm wearing, it's more or less noticeable. Waistband is starting to feel a little tighter after meals. ;>
