16 Weeks

So, I decided to do a belly pic with our chalkboard like I have seen done over at the Little Baby Garvin blog... of course I am totally not as artistic as her, but I thought it would be fun to document my growing belly & pregnancy for our my baby's scrapbook. I'm not sure that I'll do it every week because I'm just not sure that I'm creative enough! And since this isn't a "baby blog", I won't bore you with all the weekly details of my pregnancy. But I thought I'd share the picture of the week. We have hit 16 weeks and I couldn't be happier! Crazy to think how fast it's gone. We feel so blessed! 

And to those of you who have asked about the details in between my "infertility" post and getting pregnant, I will update that soon. But for now I'll just say that God is faithful. 

*I'm terrible at taking pictures and I could NOT get rid of the huge flash mark in the middle of the chalkboard.... On the other side of this room is our sliding glass door so I'm not sure there's any way to get around all that brightness! Sorry!!*

How far along? 16 weeks

Total weight gain: 5 lbs (from 112-117)

Maternity clothes? No, most of my clothes are fitting decently, but I have been loving my yoga pants a lot more lately!Stretch marks? nope

Sleep: Not great... I wake up a lot (which is very abnormal for me) because I'm usually a stomach sleeper & sleeping on my side is not comfortable to me. But no complaints, because I know it will only get worse!

Best moment this week: Seeing my little baby bump poke out (even though I know it's barely there!)

Miss Anything? Enjoying food. Also, I really miss eating subs!
 Movement: Not that I can tell. There have been 2 times where I thought maybe I felt a flutter, but it may just have been hunger pangs. It was over too quick to know for sure!

Food cravings: I don't have much of an appetite. It's 8:00 pm and so far today I've eaten 2 pieces of peanut butter toast, a granola bar & a handful of wheat thins {and a tiny brownie!}... and food does not sound appealing at all!

Anything making you queasy or sick: Pretty much anything I eat, especially meat.

Gender Prediction: It goes back and forth. First, I thought girl... then boy... now I'm totally undecided. We have an appt in 2 weeks & if baby cooperates, we should be able to tell. Our dr. does an ultrasound at every appt. so if not this time, hopefully at our 22 week appt. 

Labor Signs: No... and hopefully not for a LONG time. 

Symptoms: Nauseous, but now it's only after I eat so I'm thankful it's not all day long! Otherwise, feeling pretty good!

Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy

Looking forward to: Feeling the baby move & finding out the gender
