16 weeks

How far along?  16 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: Still only two pounds, despite my insane new eating habits.

Maternity clothes? I got some cute shirts and some leggings to wear with short dresses (now shirts) that Jackie lent me. Thanks!

Stretch marks? Nope! 

Sleep:  Still pretty rough. I'm looking forward to trying out Carrie's maternity pillow!

Best moment this week: I definitely have my appetite back. I missed food so much!

Movement: I definitely thought I felt something Sunday, but I haven't felt it since, so perhaps I was wrong.

Food cravings: Port wine cheese spread. Yum! 

Gender: ????? 

Labor Signs: No way!

Belly Button in or out? Sorry Jer, still in.

Wedding rings on or off? Off

What I miss: Fitting into my regular clothes.

What I am looking forward to: More baby movement. And finally gaining a few pounds actually! I know that seems weird, but I just want to know I'm doing the right thing and baby is growing like s/he should.

Weekly Wisdom: This week I read all about C-section rates and things I can do to dramatically lower the chances that I will have to go through that. It was very encouraging!

Milestones: Baby squirms :D




Daddy's Thoughts:


Nicki seems to be feeling a lot better, which is of course a good thing. It would seem that she is not gaining as much weight as we would expect, but I am not worried about it yet. We have made many late-night trips for food this week, which has been just fine. Dunkin' Donuts anyone?
