3.0 - Week 16

How far along? 16 weeks
Weight gain/loss: +5
Maternity clothes? Who is fighting it this time? I got a pile of maternity leggings, long sweaters and tunics and I am good to go. Although, it's not much different from my usual mom-wardrobe. 
Stretch marks? Not any new ones... yet.
Sleep? As good as ever was with two kids who still get up at night. Lots of pit-stops to pee between the kids' bed and mine though.    
Best moment this week? Avery and Olivia have had a blast talking to the baby. Olivia even tried to crawl under my sweater at Target today to talk to the baby. I had to tell her to wait until we get home. 
Movement: Definitely there. Baby is more active at night. Poor kid gets kicked back by the big ones though. 
Food cravings: Mashed potatoes and Taco Bell. :-/
Gender: Don't know yet. 
Labor signs? None. 
Belly button in or out? Innie.
What I miss? Sleep.   
What I am looking forward to? Finding out the gender so we can actually buy things for this baby. We have nothing left from Avery and Olivia, 
Weekly wisdom: Don't forget you're pregnant and take Motrin every day for a week before you realize.   
Milestones: Solidly in 2nd trimester now. 

16 weeks!

How far along? 16 weeks 2 days

Weight gain/loss: +6 (Yikes!)
Maternity clothes? Not needed, but I picked up some maternity shirts because I needed some long sleeve one for the winter anyways. 
Stretch marks? Same old, same old.
Sleep? Still the same and I am still exhausted by the end of the day.
Best moment this week? Feeling the baby for sure!
Movement: I am 98% sure I am feeling the baby moving. After pizza the other night he/she was having a little baby rave.
Food cravings: At this very moment I really want lemon and raspberry petit fours, but alas it is 9pm. 
Gender: Still not known. We scheduled the anatomy scan/gender determination on Dec. 7!
Labor signs? No.
Belly button in or out? Still in.

What I miss? Regular soda.

Weekly wisdom: Everything in moderation. 
Milestones: Movement! 

Hide-and-seek!

Today I was sitting at my desk at work and a co-worker of mine walked up and asked me to look over something. I had been writing with this specific pen and went to grab it and couldn’t find it. I spent 10 minutes looking under all my papers, in drawers, on the floor, etc. I finally gave up and leaned back in my chair in defeat and...

VOILA! There’s my pen… hiding under my bump.

And of course the aforementioned co-worker saw the whole thing.
