16 Week Bumpdate

Hi! Well, another week has come and gone. Flown by! I am officially 4 months pregnant and feel like this pregnancy is just going to fly by. I have to remember that stop and take in everything. The one thing that has come to be weird is being excited about belly growing. It is definitely growing and changing and how weird it is to be excited about it. Here we are in a world where all girls want is to be small and thin. My stomach has always been an area that I was conscious about and now all focus is on my belly. Ha, its just weird and I'm sure I'll get over it when it gets to the point of looking prego. Oh, how I can't wait to continue to grow so that I can finally feel baby move. I know it is going to be weird too, but so very exciting. I'll more than likely be obsessed.

Before the Bumpdate.. Hubby and I took a quick trip to Atlanta on Tuesday for the Atlanta Braves vs. San Francisco Game. We had a blast and it did help that the Giants won. WOOHOO!! I can't wait to take our little one to games and for baby to wear the Giants onesie I used to announce our pregnancy to hubs!

Now to the Bumpdate - 16 weeks...

• How far along? 16 weeks 2 days

• Baby is the size of a... Avocado

• Total weight gain: 6ish pounds.. right on track

• Maternity clothes? well I haven't officially bought maternity clothes because I haven't needed anything other athletic gear. However, I have started wearing a bigger size t-shirt because they are much more comfortable that then the others. 

• Stretch marks? None yet and hopefully moisturizing enough to prevent. We will see.  

• Sleep: Amazing... it does help that I've been completely exhausted after camps this week. I have been in bed by 8:30pm almost every night. Call me Grandma! 

• Best moment this week:  heard baby's heartbeat... It was in the 150bpm so still an indication it is a girl according to the old wives tale. 

• Miss anything? no, not really. I sure wish I would lay off the sweets. Camp doesn't help!!

• Movement: no official movement. I've thought maybe I felt something a couple times but probably still just gas. 

• Food cravings:  none really... just food. I always feel hungry! 

• Food aversions: nope..

• Gender: appointment August 3rd. - had a dream that it was a girl. Thankfully, I am just under two weeks of finding out. YES!!

• Labor signs: Oh no.. but growing signs..

• Symptoms: still headaches and my stomach just aches A LOT but nothing serious

• Belly Button in or out? still in, but changing

• Wedding rings on or off? On.

• Baby Purchases this week? Well, I bought the crib!! :) I'm soo excited and can't wait to get it in. 

• Looking forward to:  August 3rd, of course. Getting the crib. And a little stress relief that is coming on the 29th. I'll officially be done with my summer class and nasty papers I've been stressing over.
