I realize I look really tired in this picture. But I guess that's what happens when you stay up late wrapping gifts and then wake up at 4 am from an odd dream. Looks like a double nap is order today....
Pregnancy Highlights: Cravings have set in. & they are not the so healthy type either... :/
How far along: 16 weeks
Size of baby: According to my weekly email the baby is about 4.5 inches long and 3.5 oz - or the size of an avocado. Mmm avocado... Over the next few weeks the baby will double in size.
Stretch Marks: Nothing new.
Gender: We are not finding out. This baby will be the tie breaker for our family, and for grandchildren on all sides. So we are keeping the gender a surprise until the wee one makes their appearance.
Name: We have some picked out either way, but again are not sharing.
Movement: I have felt tickling and rolling this past week. Not very often but when I do I know for sure it's the baby.
Exercise: I'm organizing like crazy and going up and down the stairs way to many times to count.
What I miss: I do miss sleeping through the night, but that's about it. I'm still enjoying my extra wind of energy (most of the time) and better relationship with food.
Cravings: Cravings have started but they are not the super healthy foods. Like Chips and nacho cheese dip, or cinnamon rolls, mmm - not together though, that would be sick. I do let myself have a little of what I'm craving but always try to compensate the bad foods with some healthy stuff throughout the day. I find if I don't eat what I crave then I over eat something else to try and fill that craving.
Aversions: Still beef, mexican (except for corn chips and nacho cheese dip-that's heavenly) and anything BBQ - oh and anything a little greasy.
Best moment of the week: Feeling our little one move and KNOWING for sure it wasn't anything else.
Looking forward to: Sleeping better.
