16 weeks

16 weeks:  Baby is the size of an....AVOCADO!!!

 
How far along: 16 weeks, 3 days 

Physical symptoms: Feeling good!  I slept really great last night and I'm definitely not as tired anymore.  Also have stopped dry heaving in the mornings!  WOOT!

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Um at my OB appointment it appeared that I lost 4 pounds.  According to my home scale today, I've lost about 2.  Wowzers!
 
Maternity clothes: Pretty much in them most of the time.  My black dress pants still fit, but they were pretty big before I got pregnant. 

Stretch marks: Nothing new

Sleep: Sleeping better.  It's really cold in my bedroom, but I used my electric blanket on low setting last night to take care of the chill and I slept great!

Best moment last week:  Went with Jorie and Betsy to BRU and BBB.  I got to take a look at some of the items that I have been looking at online.  Picked out a stroller that will be a shower gift and a diaper bag!  I also had an OB appointment on 11/19.  Everything looks perfect!  Bloodwork and blood pressure are both normal.  They also called today with my quad screening results...test was normal and baby has very low risk for tubal defects! 

Movement: I'm 95% sure I'm definitely feeling movement.  Especially at night when I'm laying in bed.  Today I think I felt something when I was sitting quietly in my office.  It is seriously the most amazing feeling ever.  One of these days I'll stop tearing up every time it happens!

Cravings:  Cantaloupe.  How weird!

 
Gender: Will know on 12/1!  Less than a week away!  Someone said that my fruit cravings mean a boy.  We shall see!

Labor signs: Um, I would hope none!

Belly button: Normal   

 

What I miss: Nothing right now.  Really just enjoying being pregnant!

What I am looking forward to: Revel party on Dec 1!

Milestones: Definitely feeling movement.  In maternity clothes.  Passing OB appointments with flying colors!

 

15 weeks

Baby is the size of an....ORANGE!

How far along: 15 weeks, 2 days 

Physical symptoms: I've felt pretty good the last couple of days.  Less gagging/dry heaving in the mornings.  Still getting pretty tired at night, but that wasn't unusual even before pregnancy lol.  Hopefully this is the 2nd tri feel goods that I hear about!

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Avoided the scale again this week.  Just continuing to hope I haven't gained much!
 
Maternity clothes: I love maternity clothes!  So comfy!  Why do they even make real jeans?!?!

 

Stretch marks: Nothing new

Sleep: I'd say I'm sleeping a little better.  Still getting up every night to pee, but going to sleep is a bit easier.  I also got a snoogle pillow and it ROCKS!

Best moment last week:  I went to Babies R Us and test drove some diaper bags.  It was really fun to look at stuff and realize that I'm actually going to need it!  Oh, I MAYBE felt movement.  Maybe.

Movement: I've felt some flutters here and there.  I know it could totally be gas.  But it could also totally be baby...

Cravings:  All I've wanted the past couple of days is a PB&J.  Had one tonight with a big glass of milk.  SOOOOO good!

 
Gender: I JUST WANT TO KNOW!

Labor signs: Um, I would hope none!

Belly button: Normal

What I miss: Nothing right now.  Really just enjoying being pregnant!

What I am looking forward to: I have an OB appointment on Tuesday, so hoping everything checks out good.  And of course the reveal party on Dec 1!

Milestones: Maybe possibly feeling movement?

 

Oh and 1 more thing....

 

14 weeks

Baby is the size of a ....LIME!

How far along: 14 weeks, 2 days 

Physical symptoms: I've had more nausea this past week than the entire previous 13 weeks!  I even threw up in the shower one morning (gross!).  The other mornings have been some dry heaving.  I thought symptoms were supposed to be going away at this point?  This morning was good, so hopefully that's the start of something! 

Total Weight Gain/Loss: I finally got on the scale.  OMG I have gained less than a pound! YAY!
 
Maternity clothes: I wore my super good deal gap maternity jeans yesterday and today.  So comfy!  I may never go back!

 

Stretch marks: Nothing new

Sleep: I'd say I'm sleeping a little better.  Still getting up every night to pee, but going to sleep is a bit easier.

Best moment last week:  I haven't been quite as tired, so yesterday and today I went out with friends instead of sticking at home on the couch.  It was nice!

Movement: Still nothing obviously.  Sill using the doppler pretty regularly!  Baby is so easy to find now that he/she is bigger.

Food cravings: I really really really really really really really really really want a Steak N' Shake milkshake.  A friend mentioned it yesterday and now I can't stop thinking about it.  And there's a coupon in the paper today for buy one get on free.  Hopefully Johnnie will make a run tonight!

Gender: Still feeling girl.  Johnnie SO wants a boy though.  Makes me more on the fence :)

Labor signs: Um, I would hope none!

Belly button: Normal

What I miss: Nothing right now.  Really just enjoying being pregnant!

What I am looking forward to: Looking forward to getting the results from the Harmony test sometime this week.  And of course the big reveal on 12/1/13!

Milestones:  Pants are getting tight!  Every single day I can't even believe this is real.

13 weeks...2nd tri!!!

Baby is the size of a ....PEACH!

How far along: 13 weeks, 2 days

Physical symptoms: Yesterday was pretty rough with being super tired and nauseous.  Absolutely no appetite.  That happened a couple days this week.  Today I feel pretty good though!  Hopefully this is the start of this 2nd tri energy burse I've heard so much about!

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Still avoiding the scale.

Maternity clothes: Some of my clothes are getting a little tight. The maternity shirts are super long and comfy! I'm sure I don't NEED maternity stuff yet, but I do have to use the rubber band trick with my khaki pants.

Stretch marks: Nothing new

Sleep: Doing ok. Hopefully this time chage doesn't through things off!

Best moment last week:  Hitting 2nd trimester!  Also my friends are planning a gender reveal party.  Should be fun!

Movement: Obviously not feeling anything yet. BUT I can hear when the baby moves on the doppler! It sounds like clunks!

Food cravings: Nothing really. Some days I'm super hungry and some days I'm not. I'm really liking milk.

Gender: Still feeling girl.  Johnnie SO wants a boy though.  Makes me more on the fence :)

Labor signs: Um, I would hope none!

Belly button: Normal

What I miss: Nothing right now.  Really just enjoying being pregnant!

What I am looking forward to: My friends are planning a very small gender reveal party.  This is the only way that Johnnie would find out the sex before the birth.  He wanted something "fun and spontanous" lol.  Typical.  The party is scheduled for December 1st!  I'm going to know my baby's sex in less than a month!  AHHHHH!

Milestones: Hitting 2nd trimester!!
