How far along? 16 Weeks
Size of Baby: Avocado
Total weight gain/loss: According to my Dr. visit, I am down 2 lbs. from pre pregnancy
Size of Belly: 16 cm
Maternity clothes? Some off and on, I can still wear my normal jeans but my belt is now too small. I have started wearing my belly band this week.
Sleep: So every morning this week, I have been waking up with a major headache behind my eyes. My Dr. then stated that wants me to start sleeping on my side. Since then (one night so far) I did not have a headache in the morning, so hopefully it will continue that way. I just hope my side will stay comfy for a little bit!
Best moment this week: Hearing our little one’s heartbeat! A strong 152 bpm!
Miss Anything? Not this week, I’ve been doing really good!
Movement: I think I may have felt a flutter the other night, but it hasn’t happened again so I’m not sure. Still waiting and hoping it will happen soon!
Food cravings: I haven’t had any major cravings this week.
Anything making you queasy or sick: My prenatal vitamin… but that’s about it. I have even started cooking again this week! It feels good to be back in my kitchen and enjoy menu planning again!
Have you started to show yet: A small amount. It is not to the point that strangers know yet. I was even told this week “I had no idea, you don’t look it!”… not sure if that is a compliment or if I normally look this chubby 🙂 At least it was someone that doesn’t know me, she was meeting me for the first time!
Gender prediction: I am starting to think maybe boy… I don’t know why. Maybe because I really don’t want my hopes to be on a girl so I have started intentionally thinking it could be a boy and I’m becoming ok with that idea. 🙂
Labor Signs: Nope
Symptoms: Headaches, leg cramps, and constantly peeing.
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy! It has been a great week with beautiful weather! I have been outside just about every day and I am loving it!
Looking forward to: Still looking forward to kicks, but also our anatomy scan ultrasound. I scheduled it this week so I am getting more and more excited about it!

Week 16

Week 15
How far along? 15 Weeks
Size of Baby: Navel Orange or Apple
Total weight gain/loss: either none or maybe lost 1lb.
Maternity clothes? Part time
Sleep: It is a little better this week. I have been on two pillows because of allergies/congestion and one under my knees. For the most part I am still on my back and sleeping through the night.
Best moment this week: Seeing my bump! I feel that I have started to show more this week and depending on what I wear I actually look pregnant not just chubby!
Have you told family and friends: Yes, everyone knows!
Miss Anything? Not really this week.
Movement: Nope, I am waiting for any sign of a flutter!
Food cravings: Deli sandwiches! I have been heating the meat to make it safer but they are so good.
Anything making you queasy or sick: I am still having off and on nausea/sickness but I haven’t found a common ingredient causing it. It comes mainly at night so I think I am just eating late but if I don’t, I wake up starving so it’s lose/lose.
Have you started to show yet: I do feel that I have more of an actual bump this week. It is also firmer making it not chub but a bump! It still depends on what I wear whether it looks bumpy or chubby.
Gender prediction: No major feelings one way or the other this week
Labor Signs: None
Symptoms: Morning sickness, cramps, sore lower back, congestion, and stretching muscles.
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy for the most part. I have had a few bouts of moodiness that comes from no where but only once or twice this week.
Looking forward to: Feeling kicks!! I am still very impatiently waiting. It is still early but I can’t wait to feel flutters! -
Week 14
How far along? 14 Weeks
Size of Baby: Lemon
Total weight gain/loss: I think I’m back to my pre-pregnancy weight this week
Maternity clothes? Some off and on, but not necessary yet
Sleep: It has not been good at all! I can’t get comfortable and toss and turn. Even once I do fall asleep I almost always wake up between 3-5am sometime and can’t go back to sleep, it is no fun!
Best moment this week: There were quite a few this week… finally being fully public with our news, have a date night with my amazing man, and enjoying this beautiful weather!
Have you told family and friends: Finally Facebook official!
Miss Anything? Sleep! I also miss allergy medicine! This is something that is more my choice but it’s part of me trying to be med-free throughout pregnancy. These GA allergies might kill me though and we just started the season!
Movement: None, waiting very impatiently for them to start
Food cravings: None really… I guess Easter candy as that is already gone
Anything making you queasy or sick: I’m not sure if it is anything specific but I did have a relapse in morning sickness this weekend. So now I don’t want to even look at popcorn (which is a bummer since that has been a craving from the beginning) and pizza (which hasn’t really set well the whole pregnancy). I also am starting to dislike water, I’m having to just get over that one though.
Have you started to show yet: Well, I will let you decide by my picture… I think so but I still think it is just my organs being pushed out of the way not baby. Either way it is still caused by pregnancy so I will take it!
Gender prediction: No major feelings one way or the other this week
Labor Signs: Nope
Symptoms: Headaches, morning sickness, cramping, shortness of breath and insomia.
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy! Wes hasn’t been as busy with freelance this week so we have had more time together as a family.
Looking forward to: Feeling kicks!! I want to be kicked so bad and I think this is the only time in life I know I will love being kicked! -
Week 13
How far along? 13 Weeks 5 days
Size of Baby: Georgia Peach!
Total weight gain/loss: At my doctor visit this week, I have lost 1 lb. from pre pregnancy weight
Maternity clothes? Some… I have been wearing mostly things I bought for pregnancy since they are loose but not specifically maternity clothes. Although, as I write this I am in some black maternity capris and they feel just as good as my pj pants!
Sleep: Off and on. I am still trying to train myself to sleep on my side but since that causes me to not sleep as well, I am enjoying my back while I can! It is usually that I start by trying to lay on my side and in the middle of the night I give up and fall fast asleep on my back.
Best moment this week: Hearing our little one’s heartbeat and knowing we have this precious gift growing strong!
Have you told family and friends: Yes! Still not Facebook official though
Miss Anything? My chiropractor in KS! Hahaha, not baby related, but I do! I have found one out here but I just don’t get the same relief. I’m thinking it is probably because they can’t adjust me the same way now that I’m pregnant not the ability of the chiropractor out here.
Movement: Not yet! So excited for it though!
Food cravings: It has changed to salty this week! Sour cream and onion and BBQ chips have been the go to satisfying treat these days. I also had some shrimp sushi this week which was so good I have wanted it everyday since!
Anything making you queasy or sick: I’ve not been sick, but potatoes do not sound or look good at all. However the fact that chips have been so good is ironic
Have you started to show yet: I feel like it, but I think it still looks like I need to lay off the chips and cookies not the cute bump yet.
Gender prediction: I haven’t had a strong feeling this week so I am still sticking with gut from earlier
Labor Signs: Nope
Symptoms: Headaches, not my usual energy, and some round ligament pain
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy! It’s been a busy week, but I’m enjoying feeling better which makes me feel way more normal
Looking forward to: Our ultrasound… still not for another 6 weeks or so, but hearing the heartbeat makes me want to see our precious little one! -

Maternity clothes? I have some… I have only worn one of the shirts to be more comfortable is something loose… sooo comfy!
Sleep: Not so good this week… I’m trying to get used to sleeping on my side, which is killing my shoulders.
Best moment this week: Going to the chiropractor! Fixing my shoulders might help me sleep better
Have you told family and friends: Yes! Still not Facebook official though
Miss Anything? Still my energy and stamina
Movement: Not yet! So excited for when it happens!
Food cravings: Chocolate! I love those M&Ms J
