16 Weeks

Today I am 16 weeks pregnant!
I couldn't figure out which picture I like better so here's both.

Size of Baby: Baby H is now about the size of an Avocado and measures 4 1/2 inches long and weighs

 3 1/2 ounces.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: I think I'm +5 at my appointment Tuesday, but I had my tennis shoes on, so going forward I'm just going to weigh myself at home every Wednesday. LOL

Baby's heartbeat at last visit: 119 BPM

Maternity Clothes: Most of the time! They are just so much more comfortable, however I'm in need of more shirts, especially work shirts. I think I need to make a trip out of town since we don't have much in Dubuque for maternity clothes.

Gender: We will be finding out on November 26th at our Gender Reveal Party!

Movement:  Nothing yet but patiently waiting.

Sleep: I've been sleeping great! I usually have to get up once a night to go to the bathroom but other than that I've been sleeping great.

What I Miss: Besides beer, there nothing that I really miss, not much makes me turn up my nose but every time I eat I feel so full afterwards so I think I need to cut back on how much I'm eating. Especially sweets!

Cravings: Still nothing major, but I feel like I'm hungry ALL the time.

Symptoms: Monday afternoon I started having some right side pain and later that afternoon I was having some lower abdominal pain. I thought maybe I just over did it at Jazzercise but the pain just wouldn't go away. It wasn't anything major but a dull achy pain. I went to bed early Monday night and hoped to wake up feeling great however the pain was still there. I was nervous but since I wasn't bleeding or anything I had some relief and knowing my doctor's appointment was that afternoon was a relief as well. If I didn't have an appt. I would have been calling to get me in. Come to find out my dull achy pain is my belly stretching thanks to the doc confirming that and today I feel great!

Best Moment This Week: Getting to hear our baby's heartbeat. It's the best sound and I'm so glad everything is OK. We could hear every time baby H moved, the doctor said he/she's an active baby.

We also celebrated Tom and Linda's 40th wedding anniversary with a surprise party at our house, it was a great day and I think they really enjoyed themselves.
