16 weeks!

How Far Along: 16 weeks (on Monday Sept. 9th)

Size of baby: An avocado! (
Average size:  4.6 inches, 3.5 oz.)

Total Weight Gain/Loss: I've lost 7 lbs!  It freaked me out at first, but my Dr. said not to worry, so I'm not worried at all.  The scale might say I've lost weight, but I sure don't feel like that.


Maternity Clothes: Not really.  I've been using the tummy sleeve for some of my pants, but I'm not showing a ton so most of my clothes still fit pretty good.


Gender: We find out the first week in October!  We don't care what the gender is, we are just happy to be starting our family!


Movement:  I haven't "felt" anything, but we saw the arm moving on the ultra sound yesterday!  Sometimes I feel some fluttering in my stomach at night, and my stomach is definitely going crazy some days, but I haven't really felt anything yet.


What I miss: Running!  I want to go running SO bad, but my doctor said no to running or excessive workout.  I got some pregnancy workout DVDs that I look forward to using once I'm done coaching volleyball (that is already a workout).


Sleep: Depends on the night.  I'm having the CRAZIEST dreams though!

Symptoms: Nausea.  I have only thrown up 4 times, but I gag a lot.  It's the worst if I don't eat.  I know that if I can just hurry and get something in my stomach, I'll be A-OK!  I'm also REALLY tired at the end of the day.  Don't they say you're supposed to have more energy during the 2nd trimester???

Cravings: Blue Bell!  Thank goodness they sell it here.  Too bad I think I have my first cavity EVER and it hurts to eat ice cream...but I eat it anyway.

Best Moment this week (month): Finally telling our friends and families!  Everyone was very excited!  Also hearing the heartbeat at my appointment. 


What we are looking forward to: Finding out the sex!
