16 Weeks

Okay, so I used to think that when I got pregnant I would keep my family from afar completely up to date on all things pregnancy related and guys...I have failed. Miserably...I really wanted to do a cute pregnancy prgression picture like the ones you see on Pintrest and time has literally gotten away from me. How I went from 3 weeks to 16 weeks in a blink of an eye...I have no idea. 

So without further ado...one of my most favorite bloggers to read is a week ahead of me in pregnancy and she just did this post and I thought it was such a great idea...I too will be trying to do a better job of chronicling my journey! Stay tuned and be patient with me!

Starting to look preggers and not just fat!
How far along? 16 weeks
Size: BD is the size of an avocado
Total weight gain: +6 lbs
Maternity clothes? I will never go back to regular pants....you can't make me! 
Stretch marks? I THINK I found two on my left hip the other day....but they could be old....
Sleep: As much and where ever possible!
Best moment this week: Starting to feel Baby Davis move....it's been sporadic but so exciting!
Miss Anything? At the very beginning of my pregnancy my boobs.looked.awesome! Now they're back to their old non exciting selves haha 
Movement: YES! Only a little here and there but BD is making his or her presence known!
Food cravings: Fruit, veggies (definitely salads)
Anything making you queasy or sick: If I don't eat....
Gender: We get to find out August 9th!
Labor Signs: None.
Symptoms: We won't go into the icky stuff :)
Belly Button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off? On but if I don't drink enough water they come off
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy. I think....haha I'll have to check with J and get back to you ;)
Looking forward to: Feeling MORE movement and J being able to feel baby too Next Appointment: August 9nd, find out the gender!!!

Another great thing that happened this week (since I'm in a good mood today). J has been completely awesome...not that I ever doubted for a second he wouldn't be. He rubs my back when I can't get comfortable at night, he takes me to Babies 'R Us and Buy Buy Baby to dream with me and start picking out things we like, he is reading every possible Daddy book in sight and that just does a little something to my heart...


But my absolute most favorite thing that has happened since we found out we were expecting happened just the other morning. I was sitting on the couch while J was getting ready for work. Before he leaves he always kisses me good bye and we do the whole mushy, i love you, have a great day blah blaah blah bit...well today was a little different. I wasn't feeling the best...jsut dragging. He kissed me all over my face then this is when it got good...he leaned down and kissed my baby bump and said good bye to our baby....I almost died it was so cute...


I swear that's the end :) until Wednesday when we are officially 17 weeks!
