16 weeks

It seems like 16 weeks came so quick, but at the same time I feel like I've been pregnant forever! Makes sense, right?? Well, officially 4 months down!

How far along are you? 16 weeks!

Total weight gain: Hmm, not quite sure. I haven't weighed myself lately but as of a week and half ago I was back up the one lost pound to the weight I started at.

How big is the baby?: About the size of an avocado...delicious! 4 1/2 inches head to rump and about 3 1/2 ounces. Babe will double in weight in the next couple weeks!

Maternity clothes: Nope! Rubber band on the button, yes but only for comfort. 

Stretch marks?: None yet!

Sleep: I've been sleeping really deep but tend to wake up at least twice in the night...maybe my body is preparing me for this. Also, last week I laid on my stomach and it was the first time it felt like there was something in there, I thought I was laying on the remote haha

Best moment this week: On Tuesday at 2pm we got a 16 week ultrasound! We found out the sex and got to see all his cute tiny body parts!

Movement: None that I can feel. The ultrasound tech said I have an anterior placenta which means I probably won't feel him for quite some time :/

Food cravings: The cravings have definitely settled down. 

Food aversions: None really anymore! YAY! I can eat normal foods again...loving that

Gender: He's a BOY!!! The first shot of the ultrasound showed his little bum...feet crossed at the ankle and perfect shot of his boy parts! 

Pregnancy symptoms: Mood swings, getting tired easily, and pregnancy brain...still. I think it's getting worse. The other day Austin kindly reminded me to brush my teeth since I 'forgot on my last day off'. And to be fair... I forgot on a not day off and remembered halfway to work. SICK. Don't judge...

Labor signs: No way Jose

Belly button in or out: In

What I miss:  I feel really great, and love being pregnant so there's really nothing I miss enough to recognize!

What I'm looking forward to: SHOPPING! Today I picked out fabric for his crib bedding :) And also getting to feel him move

[16 weeks 2 days]

Most everyone in the family thought it was a boy except my dad. He was CONVINCED it was a girl, no questions. I called to tell him first and he was in complete shock! haha He kept asking if I was kidding...nope! He's a boy! It took a couple days for him to believe it was actually a boy. Chase, Kes and the boys are so excited because they have all girl cousins and have been wanting a boy cousin... perfect! 
Everyone is very excited to meet this little boy. Austin gets his lil hunting and sports buddy! 
I keep day dreaming of who this little boy will be, and I just pray we can teach him everything he needs to know to be a well rounded, happy, healthy, kind and successful person. 
We are so in love with our SON already, and can't wait to meet him and kiss that sweet sweet face!
