How Far Along: 16 weeks yesterday. I waited until today to do the post because I had a doctor's appointment today.
Size of Baby: Up to an Avacado! 4 and a half inches long and about 3.5 ounces.
Maternity Clothes: Praise the Lord Josh found the missing box of maternity clothes! It was like Christmas. For real folks! I still have a few small things that I may need to get but am going to try and make do with what I have!
Gender: 2 weeks from today. These will probably be some of the longest 2 weeks I've had in awhile! I know that I won't sleep the night before. I never sleep the night before an appointment.
Movement: I haven't had much as far as I know...Garrett was not a big mover so I'm hoping this little one will be. I love the movement! They say I should definitely be feeling movement by 20 weeks, so hopefully just another week or two and I will feel this little one!
Sleep: Well this week hasn't been so good. Last night was HORRIBLE. As I mentioned earlier anytime I have an appointment I can't turn my brain off. That thing runs NON STOP. Non stop I tell you! I wish it was all positive thoughts but fear creeps into me and I wish I could just stop it and enjoy this process. I also caught a cold this week...GAH! So I could only breath out of one side of my nose. Prayers this ends soon.
What I miss: I really really miss deli meat. I would love a Jersey Mikes cold sub. But only a few more months and I can make up on that :-) I also miss a normal nutrition schedule. I have problems with knowing how full I am without getting stuffed. Sometimes I get stuffed fast and then feel like crap for hours afterward. I can also go from not being hungry to wanting to eat the entire fridge in no time!
What I'm looking forward to: Two weeks folks we find out the sex!
Cravings/Food Aversions: I feel like I can eat more now. I just go from feeling great to feeling blah in a snap of a finger.
Symptoms: ONE WORD: HORMONES. Poor Josh, y'all pray for him...ha! this past weekend I had some breakdowns over the silliest things (such as G making too much noise while Josh had cooked Maple and Brown sugar oatmeal. That smell makes me want to vomit...he didn't know, does now OR the lady at Chick-fil-a that gave me a cookie sundae and I thought it was a hot whole cookie with ice cream...nope, old cookie crumbled. I was not happy and that is so ridiculous) hopefully this will calm down!
Workouts: This week the weather has been rainy and cold EVERY DAY. I'm sure that didn't help with the mood I was in. SO I only got my 3 workouts in at ECU. They were all 55 minutes each. This week I want to get in 4 workouts.
Best moment this past week: Finding dill pickle potato chips and dill pickle burger slices. I just have to be careful about all the sodium...everything in moderation. I would say the BEST moment was hearing Baby Dail's heartbeat this morning. They were in the mid 140's.
Still working on the posing of the "bump" Looks like I covered it up here. Also clearly I'm not a teacher, bless the crooked handwriting. Hopefully I can start planning this better...but don't be surprised if it doesn't get much fancier :-)
I love you Kim!
