Catching Up

At least on pregnancy and belly updates...

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 16 weeks and 3 days 

Size of baby: 5 inches long and 5 ounces.  About the size of a turnip(nasty!)

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained at LEAST 15 pounds

Maternity Clothes: Still wearing my regular clothes now...but they're not as comfortable as they used to be!

Gender: Not sure just yet, but we're thinking it's a boy...not sure Mace has any x's!

Movement: A little...this one is SO much less feisty than Ace was in utero...so easy to find a heartbeat and get a picture of it!

Food Cravings: I don't subscribe to the "pregnancy cravings" notion...I mean, we all crave something at some point or another in a given day, right?  Pregnant women may just be a bit more demanding assertive when it comes to cravings. 

What I miss: Really enjoying a meal...but it's just food, right?!

Sleep: I swear I have the CRAZIEST, most vivid dreams...it was NOT like this with Ace.  They are ridiculous.

Symptoms: Crazy dreams, extremely horrible, severe not as bad as it used to be nausea 24/7, fatigue, round ligament pain (SO much worse and sooner this time around - OUCH!), and pain from the split bone in my pelvis that never healed up after Ace.  I'm pretty comfy.

Best Moment this week: Probably going to gross Abby out (my sis), but last night I was laying in bed and could feel my uterus for the first time.  Pretty weird and really amazing to feel where the little baby is!

What I am looking forward to: Our anatomy ultrasound coming up in a couple of weeks and feeling better!
