16 weeks

How far along: 16 weeks

Size of baby: About the size of an avocado; 4.6 inches and 3.5 ounces

Total Weight Gain/Loss: still down from pre-pregnancy weight but up about 0.5 lbs from my lowest weight

How I'm Changing: definitely can feel the bump and showing enough that people have commented on it 

Maternity Clothes:  wearing them and loving it

Gender: unknown (but only for a couple more weeks!)

Movements: none yet but definitely looking forward to hopefully starting to feel something in the next few weeks

Sleep: my sleep has been ok lately - getting used to waking up a couple times a night... guess it is just prep for after the baby comes :-)

Symptoms:  still having some headaches, growing pains

How I'm feeling: good overall - still get tired pretty easily and working longer days is definitely not as easy as pre-pregnancy

What I Miss: red wine, other adult beverages, sushi, and being close to our families

Cravings: not much in the way of cravings - I have recently been craving things that I can't get very easily out here in MA - Arby's roast beef sandwich, panda express, you know, all the stuff that is super good for me

Best Moment(s) of the Week: hearing baby P's heart beat at my OB appointment - it was playing hide and seek for a little bit and it took 3-4 minutes to find but when we did it was strong and clear and I got a really good recording on my phone :-)

What I am Looking Forward To: getting the results of the quad screen and most of all seeing our baby on u/s later this month! We had our first u/s so early (around 7-8 weeks) that baby P wasn't much more than a blob so it will be really cool to see a more developed baby.  As an added bonus we will get to find out if we have a boy baby or a girl baby in there!
