16 weeks

Baby Size: The size of a avocado!

Countdown: 24 Weeks

Weight Gain: It literally varies from day to day.

Maternity Clothes: Still wearing a little of both. I have a few shirts and dresses that are "normal" clothes that work fine. I'm in between and it's a little annoying. My clothes are a little tight, and maternity clothes are too big. Ugh.

Stretch Marks: none so far. Fingers crossed. I'm using coconut oil and
Johnson's Baby Oil gel with Shea and CoCo Butter.

Sleep: I've been sick again this week with this sinus crud so it hasn't been easy to sleep. However, I can nap anytime anywhere. The humidifier has really helped. Oh, and the BOPPY pillow...WOW!! A friend from work loaned me hers and its been a lifesaver. It's so comfortable and I have to fight Daniel for it every night.

Best Moment this week: It's been a rough week with this sickness. Molley has had a rough week with her tummy and she hasn't been eating. The best moment was probably Thursday when Molls started eating after 3 days of nothing.

Food Cravings: None so far. Still having a few food aversions.

Symptoms: Not many, I think some of this stuffiness in related to pregnancy, and some a virus. Mama and Daniel and both caught whatever it is from me. I did throw up for the first time this week but again, I think it was from all the congestion. There was no nausea involved.

What I Miss: nothing that really stands out.

What I'm Looking Forward To: Doctor's appointment June 10th. Mama, Mrs. Ginger, and Charlie Kate are going to this appointment with us. We are having a "Sneak Peak" ultrasound and will hopefully find out the baby's gender.

Baby Size: The size of a peach!

Countdown: 27 Weeks

Weight Gain: No Comment! Lets just say my scales lie and I prefer the scales at my doctor's office.

Maternity Clothes: A little of both. I can still wear some of my own shirts and my pants with a Bella Band. I will mix a few maternity clothes in and dresses are awesome!

Stretch Marks: none so far. Fingers crossed

Sleep: I'm on the downhill side of the extreme tiredness. I don't have all of my energy back, but I can totally tell a difference. During the extreme fatigue times, I would fall asleep anywhere. I have never known TIRED like that before. I am sleeping like a log most nights. Not many potty trips, maybe one, if any. It may be the afternoon walking or all this rain that we have had, but I have gotten lots of sleep. Is it possible to store sleep???

Best Moment this week: The sun came out and we got back to walking. Moved up to two miles. GO GROUP!!

Food Cravings: None so far. I'm still having food aversions and can't even think about eating "gooey" things. I will say I have had two shrimp po-boys since Saturday and they were delicious!

Symptoms: A few headaches this week and last. Not too bad. Still having night time (after 7pm) nausea. Haven't been SICK yet. Praise The Lord! Still having nose bleeds (started in week 3 and I didn't realize why.)

What I Miss: nothing really. I thought I would miss sleeping on my stomach but it hasn't crossed my mind.

What I'm Looking Forward To: Doctor's appointment tomorrow.

9 week appointment

Our second doctor's appointment was on April 11th. At this appointment we had our first ultrasound and got to hear our little peanut's heartbeat. WOW!!! First off the baby was super active and "danced" the entire time. The heart rate was 179bpm and all looked greaat. Here is our 3D ultrasound picture.





I'm going to get on my soapbox right now, so please excuse me...but HOW IN THE WORLD can someone say this is not a baby, not a life???? This is amazing to me. There is an obvious profile visible in this picture.
