How far along?: 16 Weeks!

Total weight gain/loss: Up 2.4 lbs. (Down 1 lbs in total). I guess I should not have worried about not gaining weight last week!

How big is baby: My baby is the size of an Avocado! Baby can now hear! Awww – hello baby!

Maternity clothes?: Loving it. I wore non-maternity jeans today for jeans day at work, but they were quite big around the waist to begin with. Otherwise, it is all maternity clothes for me.

Stretch Marks: Not yet.

Sleep:Loving it! I am starting to get a little bit more energy, but I still wish I could find more time to snuggle with my snoogle. Wow – it is already past my bedtime!

Best moment this week:Scheduling my ultrasound appointment (October 19th).

Movement: I think that I have felt the baby a few times. It is just very slight, and feels like flutters combined with little taps sometimes.

Food cravings: My appetite has certainly grown. During the day I eat pretty healthy and I definitely enjoy it, but by the time supper comes, when I am tired, all I want is comfort food – like soup.

Food aversions: Not so much anymore, although I still wouldn’t chose chicken.

Gender:Dan is still saying boy. But my current prediction is: Maybe she’s a girl!

Labor signs:Oh goodness no!

Belly Button in or out? Innie. I am pretty sure it is a much shallower innie than before though.

What I miss: Watching all my TV shows – seriously. I am far too tired to stay up and watch my shows like Criminal Minds and Biggest Loser. I could download them, but I don’t have the time to sit in front of a computer to watch them either. If I have that time, I would rather be in bed. But I still miss the shows!

What I am looking forward to:Ultrasound on the 19th of October.

Weekly wisdom: Go to bed!!

Milestones:Knowing that my baby can now hear my (and Dan’s) voice. Now, I just need to know what to say…
