16 weeks

I can't believe I am already four months pregnant! This pregnancy has been so easy and nothing like I expected. I still haven't had any nausea or sickness (and at this point I don't think I will at all), and I still don't really look pregnant. I just feel like I'm getting fat, so I am ready to move into the stage of actually having a baby bump. My stomach is growing everyday and all of my pants are officially tight. I have worn my bella band once and my first pair of maternity jeans to work on Friday. They were so comfortable! I am still wearing my regular pants, but I think I'll be making the switch within the next week or two. This week I have been driving myself crazy trying to decide on a name. We have the middle name, but cannot decide on the first name. We picked out the baby bedding and have planned most of the nursery paint and decor, but we want to wait until our next appointment just to be 100% sure it's a boy. I really have no doubts after seeing him at our last appointment, but since we found out early we don't want to paint and buy everything and have to change it. Only a few more weeks and we can start getting everything ready for baby boy Walker!

16 week bump

How far along? 15 weeks

How big is baby?  About the size of an avocado.

Total weight gain? Three pounds.

Maternity clothes? I wore maternity jeans for the first time to work on Friday. We get to dress a little more casually on Fridays so it was the perfect time to try out the jeans and I wore my purple NSU shirt with a cardigan. I wish I could dress like that everyday at work!

Sleep? Great. I am still able to sleep on my stomach, but I'm trying to get used to sleeping on my side.  

Best moment of the week? Staying at our new house for a couple of nights, and starting the nursery planning.

Food cravings? Not really any strong cravings, I woke up the other day craving chocolate milk. I also had a craving for coffee and a brownie but didn't give in. 

Food aversions? No, but I still haven't wanted a pickle :(

Symptoms: No new symptoms, just feeling fat!

Mood this week: Feeling very grateful for everything we have. Life couldn't be better! 

Movement: None

What I’m looking forward to: Shopping for baby!

What I miss: Nothing pregnancy related, but I am really missing my nephews Remi and Roen today! I don't get to see them enough!

Next appointment: April 10th- this will be the anatomy scan to check all of the baby's organs to make sure everything is developing normally. I also have to get blood work done which is a total nightmare for me. In the past I have passed out almost every time I have given blood, or had blood work done. The last time I had blood work done I threw up and almost passed out. It is so ridiculous.
