Week 16
Size: An avacado
Total Weight Gain/Loss: +6 (probably more, I’ll find out this week)
Maternity Clothes: Maternity pants, regular tops and dresses.
Stretch Marks: None
Gender: Revealing March 25th
Movement: None yet, hopefully within the next few weeks.
Sleep: Crazy dreams. Still getting up once, having some trouble getting back to sleep afterwards.
Cravings: Fruit!
Aversions: Milk and plain chicken
Symptoms: Things have been much better this week. Praise the Lord! I was sick one morning, but that was it. Thanks to Mateya, my headaches are better (a little caffeine goes a long way). I started doing pilates and yoga which has lead to less back pain. I’ve been very forgetful lately, I’ve had to start writing things down.
Labor Signs: None. WAY too early.
What I Miss: Still my energy. It’s coming back slowly but I’m still in bed early and nap some days.
What I’m Looking Forward To: Our DR appointment this week.
Best Moment This Week: Going to a friends baby shower. I loved seeing how happy she was and all of the adorable baby stuff. Also, getting back in the kitchen. I cooked 4 meals!!!
Thoughts: I’ve learned that I need to cut down on some of the message boards and blogs I usually read. When I do that I tend to worry about what could happen at this point and that’s not something I need to do. I feel good about where we are right now and with this pregnancy. It’s neat to feel how hard my belly is getting and I love having the doppler. For the record, I used it twice this week. I knew it would be a long shot to use it once, but I tried.
So, you can’t really see the bump in this picture. I should have checked it after D took the picture. So, below is a picture from the baby shower with the mama to be and another close friend who is due 5 weeks before me. I did learn from these pictures that I will not be wearing a tube top dress again!
You look super cute with a little baby bump Leah!
Beautiful ladies! xoxo
