I hope everyone recovered from their Fourth of July festivities! I know it was a strange week last week with a holiday on a Wednesday. We’ve gotten back into the swing of things, and am just chugging along in the pregnancy.
How far along: 16 weeks
Baby Size: as big as an avocado
Weight Gain: I just had my second appointment and have gained
4 pounds. I honestly thought it would have been more, since my work outs have been hit or miss. I’ve only been working out 3-4 times a week. I usually end up “sleeping in” (aka not getting up before the girls to work out) 1-2 times during the work week b/c I am just soooo tired.
Cravings: still loving all things caprese! Nothing else new really.
Symptoms: Nothing new to report.
Sleep: I have been sleeping pretty well, and have started to remember more of my dreams. The other night I had a dream that I was a spy, and was trying to get out of the house with my girls. Someone came in, and was trying to take them from the house. I must have been moving a ton, since Matt woke me up to make sure I was ok.
Movement: I’m feeling a little more here and there. Usually at the end of the day when I am sitting and relaxing.
Clothing: I’m still wearing mostly normal clothes. I do wear maternity shorts, since I don’t really have any normal shorts to wear, and it is hot this summer. My shirts are getting a tad snug, so I think I’ll be busting out the maternity ones soon. Well as soon as we move into the new house I can find them to unpack….
Miss Anything: with thoughts of avocado and guac on my mind, I miss margaritas and sangria.
Favorite thing from the Week: hearing the baby’s heartbeat! We didn’t get to hear it at our first appointment, so I’ve been anxiously awaiting to hear it! 🙂 Since I don’t really get morning sickness when I’m pregnant (which I am very thankful for), I always worry something is wrong.
Big Sisters: they were so excited to hear the heartbeat. 🙂 They also seem to be getting along a little better these days. Maybe they can tell that Mom is tired, and that that when they are kind, Mom is happier…
Getting Excited About: Closing on this house and moving into the new house! Fingers crossed is will be soon! I think I feel so much less stressed once we sign all the papers. Also, finding out the sex of the baby in a few weeks.
