16 weeks

Watch what you say... tiny bones forming in baby's ears mean the little one can now pick up your voice. Eyebrows, lashes and hair are starting to fill in, and taste buds are forming. And, if you're interested, an ultrasound might be able to determine gender.

How far along? 16 weeks.
Due Date: August 13, 2010
Total weight gain/loss: Holding steady at -4... I'm sure it will change soon but for now it is pretty cool. The idea that I could finish this pregnancy healthier than when I started is awesome.
Maternity clothes? Definitely. I have a few normal shirts that still fit flattering for work but I much prefer my maternity clothes. T-shirts are still ok - they are long and stretchy!
Sleep: Getting difficult... right now I have a pain in in my right hip/tail bone that is making sleep a tad uncomfortable. Add on to that trying to only sleep on my left side and we have a less-than-perfect sleep!
Best moment this week: Feeling the baby DEFINITELY! :) It felt like I was being body-checked! So cool and crazy - there is a little creature in my tummy moving all on its own. Neat.
Movement: Totally! No question... not everyday, but when I feel it I really feel it!
Food cravings: It varies.
Food aversions: Things that are creamy and warm or smell gross (to me)
Gender: Unknown. - We will find out April 7th!
Labor Signs: None.
Belly Button in or out? In... no change.
What I miss: Subway!!!
What I am looking forward to: Looking at bedding options. :)
Milestones: I guess baby can hear now... awesome! Time to start playing/practicing my piano again.

Other: I have new aches everyday... they are ever changing. From my tail bone to my hip... makes me wonder, what is next?

(I'll try to get a picture up this week... I didn't last week because there wasn't any change really.)

  1. I'm glad you're feeling Baby V move so much! Yay! I hope your aches and pains ease up for you.

    Since baby can hear tell her/him I say "Hi!"

  2. Yay for feeling Baby move! Coolest thing ever! I'm glad you're so healthy- that's great :) I never bothered trying to sleep on just my left side... at the end especially! Gotta find comfort where ya can! You should post your bedding options and such as you shop- that would be fun :)
