How Far Along: 16 weeks and 2 days
Size of Baby: Baby is the size of an avocado (4 1/2 inches long, 3 1/2 oz).
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Probably up - I go to the doctor on Wednesday, so we'll see. But I think I've done some catching up in the past two weeks.
Maternity Clothes: Still working the belly band, but shirts are starting to get uncomfortable when they ride up. Love my sweats still.
Movement: Nope - but supposed to start soon!
Sleep: This weekend was rough in the sleep department. Bentley is training us well for a new baby. He has had some sort of stomach virus so between diarrhea clean-ups and mid-night potty breaks, I have not had any good stretches of sleep. I have had a nap both days this weekend which has been delightful.
What I miss: I think my answer to this will always be... Nothing compared to being pregnant!
Cravings: Still on oranges. And bagels. And anything bread related. See note above that I think the pounds are sneaking in there now.
Symptoms: Besides a belly that is starting to pop, I feel relatively normal.
Best Moment this week: Last weekend at the middle school retreat, my 7th grade girls "figured" out that I was pregnant. They told me they knew because usually I was so skinny! Ha! Very tactful. If I wasn't pregnant, that could have backfired pretty quickly.
Random Updates: I think my belly has started to pop over the past week. I wish I had a picture of just one weekend ago compared to this weekend. I think it really was noticed by Lucas last Tuesday. I had a purple shirt on which he said to me "I like your purple shirt". I said "thanks". He then immediately asked me if I had seen Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (i.e Violet Beauregard for those of you have seen it). He is worse than my middle school girls!
The belly at 16w2d. Please ignore my horrible hair.
And last but not least, the Lucas update. Well I guess he was a little sensitive about his belly last week, so he's been doing some workout while I've been gaining. He's even been hired by non-other than Abercrombie and Fitch. See his first spread below.
Until next time!
Love,
The Kings
