16 weeks and 5 days

How far along? 16 weeks 5 days


Total weight gain/loss: +1 since 10 week appt


Maternity clothes? I've been wearing maternity shorts/capris regularly and found a few maternity shirts on sale at Old Navy for $5. I also had to finally purchase a maternity bathing suit. This summer I started with a two piece, but the boobs were pouring out by week 11, I then moved on to a tankini suit I purchased when my DS was about 9 months but I quickly started feeling the snug around my belly and it just made me look like I was wearing a suit too small for me. So I finally got a maternity suit, one that actually hugs the bump :)


Stretch marks? None... lets hope it stays that way :) I lucked out and didn't have any with DS


Sleep: Not sleeping very well....just can't get comfy. DH must of got tired of my tossing and turning and went out and bought me a Boppy body pillow yesterday. (I was reluctant to spend money on it, when I could use a throw pillow like I have...I'm very frugal)But I must admit, I slept really well with it last night.


Best moment this week: Hearing the HEARTBEAT for the first time at 16 week appt. Baby's HB came in strong at 165 and since its been a while since I posted, another great moment is I think we have decided on a crib/furniture set!!! so now we know how much money to save up for it.


Movement: Yes, yes and YES!!! I am a sports fanatic and DH and I were watching the ESPY's a couple weeks ago, the baby was moving all over the place.(Hopefully that means I have an athlete on my hands) Every since then, I feel movement at least once a day...some days it wil last a few seconds and others it last for minutes at a time :)


Food cravings: Baked Potatoes....ummmm, so I was craving one the other night and proceeded to make a fully loaded one at 10pm...LOL


Gender: Unknown, and we have no plans of finding out. Every week it switches, this week I am feeling GIRL


Labor Signs: No thank you....


Belly Button in or out? half inny and outty still...but is making little belly button imprint in all my shirts


What I miss: I think my days of sleeping on my belly are done....and laying down and watching TV comfortably...I just can't get comfy


What I am looking forward to: not hearing from my doctor. Took the Down Syndrome/Trisonomy and others screening at 16 week appt. Doc said no news is good new....so I am looking forward to not hearing from doc!!!
