How far along: 16 Weeks
Baby size: 4.6 inches & 3.5 ounces. The size of an avocado.
Maternity clothes: Not yet, but I was thinking today maybe it is time to invest. I think I might need them earlier this time than I did last time.
Stretch marks: Nope. Lotion every morning and crossing my fingers.
Sleep: Generally it has been a little better. I've been having some really scary and stressful dreams though.
Gender: Not sure. I had two dreams it was a boy. But I am pretty sure I had dreams with Kennedy that she was a boy too, so those are not reliable. As I was with Kennedy I would not be surprised at all if it were a boy and I would be completely surprised if it's a girl. One more month to wait and see.
Best moment this week: Just chatting with my husband about the baby and talking baby names. So far we haven't really discussed baby names since it can get a little um... passionate. But we had a really good chat about it this week. Can't wait to find out the gender so we can get down to business on the name game.
Looking forward to: Little kicks and jabs, any movement that is definitely baby. I loved that, especially in the beginning when it is not as uncomfortable.
What I miss: Not worrying about how all my choices affect the baby. Like oops I forgot my prenatal today, I hope that is okay. Or I hope this lotion that I am using is okay for the baby. I guess I just second guess a lot of things, I kind of miss not worrying. Luckily I'm not too bad, I definitely feel more relaxed about a lot of things than I did the first time around.
Movement: Not yet. Hopefully soon!
Food cravings: I was totally craving the Kevita Sparkling Probiotic water after I tried the Mojita Lime Mint Coconut one the other week. But then I tried the Strawberry Acai Coconut one thinking it would be amazing and it was just okay. Kind of a bummer. I'm also drinking a delicious smoothie every morning for breakfast and I really crave it every night before I go to bed. It has tasted so good.
Aversions: My husband and daughter had a ramen noodle cup soup thing for lunch and it was the worst. Not buying those again until I am done with this pregnancy.
Nursery: We are mostly just wondering what the best set up in our two bedroom apartment is going to be for this little babe and the rest of us. Which corner will we choose?
Overall: I'm excited to be 16 weeks. It feels like I am more settled into pregnancy. Lots of random people know now, I'm starting to think about maternity clothes and baby gear. It is just more real.
Miscellaneous: My mom touched my belly for the first time this week when she came over. I don't think a single person touched my belly with Kennedy, I mean besides when I told Daniel to feel a kick. It was super weird.
