Quick questions at 16 Weeks

Photograph by: 25peacestudio@etsy.com

How far along? I will be 16 weeks on Monday.

Total weight gain/loss? I have lost 2 lbs. . . . But will hopefully pick some up this trimester.

Maternity clothes? No not really, just wearing T-Shirts and Skirts if the skirt is not stretchy I use a rubber band to loop around the button giving a little added room.

Stretch marks? Nope nothing is stretching at this point

Sleep: I sleep just fine except for the fact that I do have to get up and pee more often.

Best moment this week: My ultrasound, I saw all kinds of things going on in there, the baby is very active, the tech even had a hard time getting the baby to stay still long enough to catch the heartbeat. Plus I was also given a pretty confident answer to what the baby's gender is. A BOY! Just what I wanted.

Miss Anything? My husband, he is in Army AIT and I just wish he could have seen the last ultrasound, honestly I know he probably won't see any of them and that is a little sad.

Movement: Nope I don't feel anything.... But he does move from one side of my body to the other. He tortures me more sometimes.... because I notice in some positions he makes me have the urge to pee more.

Food cravings: The other day I wanted Peanut Butter..... in fact I want that now!......And I am a big fan of eating lots of mini carrots.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Usually the smell of raw or cooking onions, raw egg smell on a glass plate, or egg yolk left on a plate. But I have always hated the egg smells and yolk.

Have you started to show yet: Not really , I have a hard oblong bump on one side of my abdomen. It feels strange when lying on my stomach and it is harder to button things, but it is not that visible to others.

Gender prediction: Boy! Well that is my wish.... Hoping the Doc is right but will be sure at the 20 weeks point.

Labor Signs:No way! When I do I will probably be a little panicky but that is a ways off.

Wedding rings on or off? On and falling of or flying across the room when I swing my hand.

Happy or Moody most of the time: I suppose half and half..... I am upbeat but sometimes I get in a mood about things that stress me out .

Looking forward to: Moving! My husband and I are going to get a permanent station soon and I can't wait to get moving and into my own house again!
