Week 16 Update!

It's been a while since I've given you a pregnancy update so I figured I'd let you know how my little bean is coming along!




How far along? 16+ Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: I'll find out tomorrow for sure, hoping my weight didn't jump too much this month since my baby doesn't want anything but baked potatoes. Ok, that's a lie. I love potatoes. So sue me. 
How big is baby? About 4 1/2 inches, the size of an avacado but the bean will double in size in the next few weeks.
Maternity clothes? Yup. Mostly just maternity pants and some of my normal tops. They still fit and I'm not afraid to "flaunt" my bump. ;) 
Stretch Marks? Only old ones, no new ones from baby T as far as I can tell. 
Best moment this week?  I only barfed once in the last week. Progress! 
Movement? Um, I can't tell. I'm told that I should feel butterflies any time now and sometimes I think I feel something but then I burp and it goes away. So, who knows. 
Food Cravings? I don't call them cravings because I still like a lot of the foods I used to and haven't wanted anything super crazy. Since I've been sick a lot, potatoes, soup and toast have made up most of my diet lately. However, this week I've been dying for some fried chicken. Mmm.  
What I miss: My energy. Supposedly this is supposed to come back in the second trimester but it hasn't happened yet for me. I go home and crash most days after dinner and then crawl in bed around 9:30. Why do you think I'm not blogging as much? They would go like this "weekend recap: slept, watched Friends, ate, slept."
What I am looking forward to:  Eating real food again like my smoothies in the morning and salads for lunch. They sound super disgusting to me right now and that makes me sad. 
Nausea/Vomiting?: Still nauseous almost every day but mostly when I need to eat. Luckily, the vomiting only rears it's ugly head about once a week now. 
Labor signs? Nope
Gender? Hoping to find out next month!
Belly Button in or out? Innie for life. I hope.
Wedding rings on or off? On.
Sleep? Can't get enough. Wish I could sneak off and nap in the server room. It's cool and dark back there. Zzzzz.

Weekly Wisdom: Every pregnancy is different. What one woman experiences may be completely different than the next. I wish I was one of the lucky ladies that has zero sickness and only gains 10 pounds (like my neighbor.Ugh) but I'm loving it regardless. I know the end result will be worth it!!

You look so beautiful! I, too, loved baked potatoes...I put those single serving broccoli and cheese things on top of it. Not too good for the post baby body in terms of the carbs, so I'll have to live vicariously through you :)

jacin {lovely little details} said...

Sara Pierce said...

you look beautiful! LOVE that big smile too! ;) hopefully your nausea will go away soon and when it does I recommend throwing some protein powder in your smoothies! I use ProPeas and it's a great way to sneak in a little extra nutrition throughout the day!

Kate said...

You are so adorable!! I'm glad the sickness is letting up. Mine disappeared completely with Rory around 21 weeks or so. And then I started eating everything in sight. (haha!) You are so right about every pregnancy being different. If you decide to have another little one, I promise that one will be totally different than this one! It's amazing, fantastic and scary. :)

All Things Yummy said...

Awww, your baby bump is so cute.

Michelle K said...

Aww ZiggyT. Never thought I could love a Zygote so much :) And is that my shirt? If not, I'm going to need to borrow it. Thanks ma!

Nicole said...

10 lbs... gag me... LOL :) i gained that in a week in HI :(.

Anyway in our nutrition class we learned you are supposed to gain 25 when pregnant :) so you have room to budge... haha :)

You look cute and yey for the no barfing but once :) haha

fromscratchblog said...

You look fantastic! :) I also had to laugh at this, because you pretty much summed up my entire life right now: "weekend recap: slept, watched Friends, ate, slept." So true!

Tiffany said...

You look so cute! You can "flaunt" your bump as much as you want!
