How far along? 16 weeks 6 days
Total weight gain/loss: +5 lbs (I will be honest and say this is super difficult and frustrating for me - I have a hard time curbing my cravings, and though I have started to exercise regularly again, I just feel huge. Much of this is due to the fact that I gained about 5+ lbs before getting pregnant, and weight is something I've struggled with for a long time.)
Maternity clothes? Kind of...I can wear normal shirts fine, but most pants just cut into my fat and look really rough. Feeling cute and not just large is a struggle (See weight gain section).
Stretch marks? Not yet. PTL.
Sleep: Not very great - still getting up to pee constantly, but I have found if I manage to fall asleep on my side, I don't wake up as often.
Best moment this week: Hearing BabyJ's heartbeat at the doctor on Tuesday! About 156 bpm.
Miss Anything? Being able to run without using run/walk intervals and riding bikes with WBH.
Movement: A couple times I've felt a little nudge that I am pretty sure is baby, but I don't feel confident enough to truly say that I've felt him/her move yet.
Food cravings: Good club sandwiches. Oh snap, I really want one of those right. now.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not eating frequently enough, otherwise I think I'm past the worst of it!!
Have you started to show yet: Husband says I am, but I think I'm just putting weight on from eating more than I ought.
Gender: Don't know yet! We will find out in 4ish weeks (Aug 20)!
Labor Signs: No no no.
Belly Button in or out? In, and will probably stay that way. I feel like I have an endless inny.
Wedding rings on or off? On.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy happy, 'cept if I'm stressed about work.
Size of Baby: 5 inches and almost 6 ounces! About the size of an onion.
Looking forward to: Feeling the baby kick for real and finding out if we're having a boy or girl!
