How far Along: 16 weeks
Nicknames for baby: Our little pickle (we have decided to keep our sweet boy's name private for now).
Size of baby: Avocado
Gender Prediction: It's a boy! Confirmed blood test at 12 weeks AND gender scan at 15 weeks.
Symptoms: Heartburn, infrequent waves of nausea, morning sickness, and round ligament pains (ouch)!
Best moment this week: Going in for my 16 week check up and having my midwife find baby's heartbeat.
Movement: I haven't had any movement, and I also have an anterior placenta (it may be awhile).
Food Cravings: Italian sandwiches galore.. though they give me heartburn like crazy.
Food Aversions: Everything. Nothing sounds good these days.
What I Miss: Being able to sleep comfortably - especially since Olivia still co-sleeps at night.
Sleep: I'm tired by ten (sometimes before) every night and its a struggle to stay awake.
Justin: Finding out that we are expecting our first son definitely created some nerves with this man. It's going to be a new learning curve for our entire family and I know Justin is both equally excited and anxious about bringing a baby boy into this world. He's been singing ALL the songs you can imagine about boys and their dads. Its the cutest thing.
What I am looking forward to this week: I am looking forward to cooler weather so I can snuggle my pregnant self in all the fall/winter clothes I can. I cannot wait to see this baby bump in full force! I already feel bigger in this pregnancy and rounder.
Happy or moody most of the time: I am one happy camper! Our son is healthy, I can hear his movement through the doppler, and I finally feel like I can breath a little for the first time in this pregnancy.
