16 Weeks
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! |
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!

Oh my gosh, you're showing AND feeling movement?! I'm jealous! Congrats on your pregnancy. I can't believe we're only a week apart! It's crazy. I'm glad you're doing this weekly thing, too. It's really fun! How has your pregnancy been? Luckily mine has been smooth sailing for the most part!
ReplyDeleteSo we've decided that we aren't finding out the gender. I know, I know. People think we're crazy, but we're really excited about waiting until the day baby is born to hear, "It's a girl!" or "It's a boy!" and it actually being a surprise. When looking at baby stuff it makes it hard, but we're sticking to our guns. If we do change our minds we'd be able to find out on August 20th, but I don't think that's going to happen. =]
I'm so excited for us!
I know! I asked our midwife and she said every pregnancy is different (because I was like why am I showing so soon and I'm seeing pictures of girls who don't even look pregnant?!) It has to do with the strength of your abdominal muscles and other stuff. I'm hoping I can keep the weekly updates up...
DeletePregnancy has been a breeze! I used to have constant migraines and those have completely gone away. The only less than appealing symptom is that I am hungry...ALL THE TIME. But when I sit down to eat I can only eat a bite or two before I feel stuffed!
I think the whole gender thing is totally a personal call....I just know I can't wait to start shopping and decorating the nursery. Plus...I think I will feel more connected if I can start calling the baby a name...instead of just baby davis, peanut, gummy bear, squirrel etc haha.
I can't wait to see how you feel next week! I'll be staying tuned for sure :)
Haha. I asked my doctor the same thing, but the other way around. "Why am I not showing and everyone else is?" Man, if it has to do with my abs I guess I can't complain. I guess beneath my freshman 15 from 6 years ago are still those high school abs. Haha.
DeleteI'm glad your pregnancy has been a breeze. Mine was, too. And I had those headaches, too! And mine have been gone for a couple weeks. I'm no hungrier than I was before, except in the middle of the night. I keep a baggie of Cheerios in my nightstand. I definitely order dessert more than I used to though. I used to be like, "Nah, I don't need it," and now I'm like, "Bring me the chocolate cake!" I know that stuffed feeling, and when I eat too much I feel like crap!
We're doing our nursery in gender neutral and when he or she comes we'll throw in splashes of pink or blue. We've also picked out a boy name but can't agree on a girl name yet. And we aren't sharing our names until the baby is born. I don't know, maybe we're just weird. ;]
I have a check-up tomorrow but I don't think they're doing anything exciting. I just can't wait for the one after because it's an ultrasound! And it's almost time to find the gender out for you. I can't wait to hear what he or she is!
So I'm sitting here with a tear running down my face! It's a happy tear of course!!!! Itsn't it amazing how the men in our lives just have this way of making us feel amazing!? Love you and so excited for you and J! Can't wait for the next update! xoxoxox
