Baby B: 16 Weeks

We are finally getting caught up on these posts! We are now 16 weeks pregnant.  It seems that this pregnancy is flying by much faster.

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 16 weeks

Size of baby: 4.5 inches long, about the size of an avocado

Weight gain: -4

Maternity Clothes: I wear maternity jeans, not out of necessity, but because I was pregnant last winter and all of my jeans are maternity! Some tighter shirts are looking a little tighter.

Gender: TBD December 12!

Movement: I am sure the baby is moving, but I have not felt it yet

Sleep: Insomnia has kicked in a few nights this past week

Symptoms:  I go in spurts from having tons of energy to being exhausted.  I am also hungry and thirsty more frequently, and have been having some headaches. I also unfortunately got a UTI this past week.

What I miss: Nothing! 

Cravings: Fruit, salads and chicken nuggets

Best moment this week: Hearing the sweet heartbeat and having a great checkup! The heartbeat was at 138.

What I am looking forward to: Ashlynn's first Thanksgiving

Dad and Big Sister: Mark has been busy with work and is getting excited to find out the gender. Ashlynn is keeping us on our toes with her newfound and much loved mobility!
