16 Weeks

Hey-o! Somehow we're already at 4 months. During the last 16 weeks, the days felt like they took absolutely forever and somehow the weeks fly. Kind of reminds me of motherhood ;)

The last two weeks have been good with morning sickness subsiding, and the "good days" starting to outnumber the "hard days." Thank goodness for that.

Here's a side by side of Declan and Baby Monie 2.0 at 16 weeks:

On to the weekly stats!

How far along?  16 weeks

Total weight gain/loss? Up about 3 pounds. My appetite has been awful- I'm just not hungry, which is something I have never really experienced. I'm keeping an eye on my weight, and trying to make sure the tiny human gets the nutrients he/she needs.

Maternity clothes? It's here. Time for maternity clothes. A friend from high school gave me a bunch of really cute stuff, and I've gotten better with my online shopping. Building a comfy stash for winter.

Stretch marks? Nada

Sleep? Sleep has been okay. The Boppy has been a really big help. I'm getting up less to go to the bathroom, but still averaging about 2 wake ups a night, which is super manageable.

Best moment last week? This isn't baby related, but Declan is finally (I think) starting to adjust to pre-school. He had a great day today, and that made me feel amazing today.

Movement?  I *think* I've felt this baby a few times. Once was 2 nights ago laying in bed on my side, and I had two times today that I thought it might be the baby.

Food cravings? Nothing really.

Labor signs? Wayyyy too early.

Belly button in/out? Still in- stayed in with Declan, so we'll see!

What I miss: Energy! A PhD program while pregnant is no joke ;)

What I am looking forward to: Definite movement from the little one. Also finding out the sex (end of September!)

Milestones: No real milestones in the last 2 weeks, but a healthy baby growing away!
