starting a weekly update of the growing baby. i have this fear i am gonna forget everything i am experiencing. i have one of the worst memories and add to that pregnancy brain. so sorry in advance this blog is mostly for me...
How Far Along?
16 weeks and 2 days!
How Big is Baby?
they say roughly the size of an avocado (which makes me hungry for some guacamole)
Weight Gained So Far?
with the flu last week, i lost some lbs. but with all the hot fudge sundaes i am eating i am sure i am gaining it all back :)
Maternity Clothes?
this week i finally met my baby belly. i have had a little pouch but i can actually see the belly through clothes now! i am still wearing my skinny jeans with a belly band or rubber band. let me be honest though...it is a rare occasion i am in anything else besides pajama pants. sorry pete ;)
Stretch Marks?
NO!!!! and if i ever have to write "yes" to this it will be a sad sad day and i will soothe my sorrows with chocolate shakes and kit kats ALL day!
Sleep?
it is now said in every book i have that i should be sleeping on my sides. we brought out the huge body pillow last week and i am trying to train my body to stay off my back. pete will sometimes tap my shoulder in middle of night and let me know i am not on my side. seriously this is hard. i know it is important and i don't want to ever harm my baby for the sake of my comfort. has any other moms had problems with this? does it get easier? give me some hope, please.
Best Moment of the Week?
hearing the heartbeat the other day! i mean how much are those doopler things. i need one so i can listen to it all the time!!
Any Movement?
this past week i started feeling something but it just feels like gas (waaaa waaa) i can't wait to really know "ooooh that was the baby moving!"
Food Cravings?
i want i want i want easter candy. hot fudge sundaes are the BEST (and .99 cents at mcdonalds) still want fruit. also grilled cheeses are happening a lot around our house.
Gender?
weeeee fiiiinnndd ooutttt March 23!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (can you tell i am excited)
Looking Forward To?
feeling some movement and finding out the gender. also i am excited to go to california in a few weeks to see pete's family and spend some time with pete on the road!
Embarrassing Pregnancy Moment?
this past week with the flu...puking in front of your husband never makes you feel attractive.
*if anyone can think of a question i should add to this weekly update, send it my way!

I am 13 weeks, 2 days (just 3 weeks behind you!) and am having a lot of trouble getting the sleeping thing mastered as well. In fact, I went from sleeping ALL the time in the first trimester to hardly sleeping or at least sleeping WELL in the last week or so because I'm so uncomfortable in my sleep (pre-pregnancy I was a belly sleeper). I'm also with you on the sweatpants and PJs thing, although this past weekend I bought two elastic waistband cotton skirts and wearing them feels just as good if not better since I always feel hot. And good job on your weight! I gained 1lb (but I think it's because it was what I was wearing to the doctor because my scales said I lost 2 that morning) the whole first tri. Yay for limited baby fat in the post-partum! Oh, and I started getting stretch marks at 4 weeks despite my not gaining any weight. It's pretty frustrating, but also something I'm willing to "sacrifice" for my little one. They'll fade in time and blend with my skin anyway... good luck to you in NOT getting any!
sleeping on your side isn't that big of a deal until after 25 weeks when the weight of the baby and uterus can start to cut off your blood supply. Trust me, you will know.
