Well we have reached week 16! Here are a few stats about baby, me, and anything else going on this week!
Baby's size: This week, baby E is the size of an avocado! He/she is about 4 1/2 inches long and weighs a whopping 3 ounces!!
Total weight gain: 8 lbs. I officially weigh more than I ever have in my life and it's only going up from here! I'm going to make sure that little one gets all the nutrition it needs!
Sleep: I am starting to not sleep as comfortably on my stomach which is a bummer! I'm doing good lying on my back and sides. But, I better enjoy it while I can before I have to stick to just my left side for mine and the baby's sake!
Maternity Clothes: I have bought some really cute clothes that I should be able to wear right through my pregnancy! Thanks to www.motherhoodmaternity.com, www.ingridandisabel.com, and www.sweetpeamaternity.com, I will be able to continue my "diva status" even up to 9 months!
Food cravings: Sweets! Cupcakes, brownies, cookies, Laffy Taffy! The sweets have taken over!
Movement: I can say that I can feel a little "butterfly fluttering" in my belly! Nothing as big as a kick, but a little feeling that makes my heart smile : )
Best moment of the week: Waking up to coffee which is fixed each night before bed by my sweet and always considerate husband, as well as a cute note that made me so proud to call myself his wife!
What I'm looking forward to: After having dreams about the baby, I am just looking forward to seeing the baby for the first time and holding its sweet little feet and hands in mine! And, babies always have that delicious smell, and I'm ready to snuggle with our little butterbean!
What I miss: Well, I'm not ashamed to say I do miss an occasional glass of wine or cocktail, but, it's nothing that can't wait until after February 8th! Many doctors say a glass of wine is okay, and if other mommies to be do this, it is perfectly fine with me! But for me, I'm going to gladly go without!
I'll leave you with a few pictures of the ever-growing belly :)
