16 weeks along

Jun 19th

How Far Along: 16 Weeks (40% done!)

Size of baby: Avocado (4-5 inches long, 3-5oz)

Total Weight Gain/Loss: 1.0 down

Maternity Clothes: normal clothes, mostly dresses

Gender: Guessing boy but we will find out July 3^rd (14 sleeps!!)

Movement: I am feeling some flutters now

Sleep: Still not sleeping soundly, but not horrible. And I am not as tired during the day and in the evenings so that is good.

What I miss: Hmm not sure. I would love to sleep soundly but maybe in about a year.  

Cravings: Still Chipotle, Rosa’s taco plate (got it last week), Mexican food in general, spicy food in general. I had some flamin hot fritos yesterday for the first time in a while and they were delicious. I thought about them again on my morning commute J I am also craving salads with homemade ranch and baked potatoes ever since our cabin trip. I have eaten salads the last two days and brought carrots, cucumbers, and ranch for my snack today.  Overall more salty and spicy cravings that sweet.

Symptoms: Most of my symptoms have gotten better lately. Some nausea, some fatigue, still skin breakouts, but overall not bad.  

Best Moment this week: Yesterday I got the call from our doctor that the genetic testing came back normal. It is what I expected but still nice to get confirmation.

Hardest Moment this week: Not finding out the gender when the nurse called. She is putting it in an envelope for me to pick up later this week. I haven’t decided when to get it or when to open it. Kyle is ready to know and I am feeling firm on waiting until the day of the gender reveal. I am also toying with the idea of not finding out ahead of time.

The reveal will be done with a pink or blue firework. I am very tempted to let Kyle handle it and I find out with everyone else. We will see if I can hold out for 14 sleeps.     

I can't wait: To know the gender so I can start shopping! If it is a boy we will still need some things for the first year because this one is due in opposite seasons.

Next dr appt is July 9^th. Anatomy sono with doctor is July 23^rd.
