16 weeks


Baby's now the size of an avocado!
Watch what you say...tiny bones forming in baby's ears mean she can now pick up your voice. A few more minuscule changes: Eyebrows, lashes, and hair are starting to fill in, and taste buds are forming.






How Far along: 16 weeks!

Total weight gain: My scale at home is still saying 4 lbs up. Scale at the doctors office is saying 8 lbs up. I am blaming that on clothes.

Maternity clothes: I have been wearing my (non-maternity) skirts, and its glorious. The green one below is one of them. When I want a change, since all my skirts are the same style, I am at a loss because I hate my maternity pants and I don't have any capris that fit. Very frustrating. My normal tops are a little snugger around the gut than I like.

Sleep: Great! Now that baby is riding higher, I can sleep through the night without getting up to pee.

Best Moment this week: Wearing my skirts and being comfortable.

Movement: I don't think I can feel anything. I felt something that maybe could have been, but thinking back it felt more like a muscle spasm. Only time will tell.

Gender: I'm feeling boy still.

Labor signs: No, thank you.

Belly button: In.

Cravings: Still Lemon Heads. Still can't find them. However, I did order a 5lb bag from a candy company off eBay. Desperate much? I don't care.

What I miss: Nothing at the moment.

What I'm looking forward to: Feeling kicks.

Milestones: Getting the semblance of a bump.



You think I'm starting to show? I think I might be, but I'm not sure. It's not as flat as it once was, but I still don't feel like there is a definable bump. But I am expecting that any day/week now.
