16 Weeks

How far along: 16 weeks

Total weight gain: 6 or so pounds


How much does baby weigh: about 3.5 oz - the size of an avocado.


Maternity clothes: I'm still not really showing that much, but am wearing maternity pants to work, sooo much more comfortable. All of my shirts are still tucked away for a few more weeks probably.


Stretch marks: No


Sleep: I love it, I can't seem to get enough of it, work gets in the way of it :)


Best moment this week: Getting my nap on my stomach on the couch this afternoon!!!

Movement: Still nothing. I'm continuing to read lots during the pregnancy and have read maybe around week 18. My doctor also said the same, so maybe I'll get to feel the flutters of Baby T in a few more weeks!

Food cravings: Cheese Nips, American Cheese, now that I'm back to work and exhausted I want Pepsi all of the time...I'm limiting myself though.

Belly button in or out: In

What I miss: Eating whenever I'm hungry. Work gets in the way of that too. Two days a week I have a meeting during my regular lunch period and don't eat until 1:05....that is late when I eat breakfast before 6 everyday.


What I'm looking forward to: Having a real bump, feeling Baby T move, getting to see Baby T in a about a month or so....so much to look forward to! :)


Milestone: I'm in the fourth month!

Thoughts: I'm learning fast now that I'm back to work that everyone has advice to give you about pregnancy and the new favorite question people have for me now is "how are you feeling?" Some days I feel like I'm in the movie Groundhog's Day, with the same questions, comments, and things happening over and over again, hah. A few co-workers have told me my feet will get bigger (my actual feet Jim :) I knew the rest of my body would change, but it didn't occur to me that my feet could change forever.... Kind of strange, but they tell me that I could go up a size or half a size and never go back down. Anyone else confirm this? For being such a little baby, he/she really finds a way to change everything about your body.

Each kid = one full size larger.
9 for so long. Then 10. Now 11.
Yikes! (I'm tall, folks, so it's not that strange, I guess)
