How far Along: 16 weeks
Nicknames for baby: Miracle Bean, Liam (We strongly think baby bean is a boy)
Size of baby: An avocado
Gender Prediction: Boy, because this pregnancy is so different than my pregnancy with Ava bug
Symptoms: some fatigue, heartburn, and ligament pains
Best moment this week: Finding out the gender of our sweet bean
Movement: Baby moves a ton during the afternoon
Food Cravings: Pickles and olives
Food Aversions: Pasta, anything white sauced based (so long fettuccine Alfredo)
What I Miss: Being able to cuddle my husband AND sleep comfortably at the same time
Sleep: Since getting the snoogle, sleep has been fantastic. Cuddle time however, has been challenging during bedtime.
Justin: He spent his first real chunk of time in this pregnancy away from us these past few week, and showing his support from a distance took some adjusting for us both. He was so elated when he saw our baby on the ultrasound yesterday. He's never seen a baby past a 6 week ultrasound, so it was emotional for all of us. He was able to join us at my 16 week check up today, and he's been rocking the paternal support so incredibly well! Definitely glad to have him home.
What I am looking forward to this week: Having our gender reveal photos taken
Happy or moody most of the time: Since the constant upchucking stopped, I have been so incredibly happy. Even with the symptoms I do have, the second trimester has given me such bliss in my life and this pregnancy. I'm just feeling extremely grateful, blessed, and thankful for this growing baby and the love we have in our home.
Here are a couple pictures from my ultrasound yesterday. I did get about a dozen, but I plan on scrapbooking most of them, including the gender shot photos.15 weeks and 6 days:
