Bumpdate: 16 weeks


  • How far along: 16 weeks!
  • How I'm feeling: Overall, great!  I'm feeling some heavy pelvic pressure (sorry if that's TMI) but apparently that is not uncommon this early on in a second pregnancy.
  • Size of the baby: The size of an AVOCADO! 
  • Total weight gain: 7 pounds. Up two from last week - oops!
  • Maternity clothes: Oh yes!  I am loving a pair of cargo pants in particular that I borrowed from a friend and all of my maternity long dresses.    
  • Sleep: Not great but not terrible.  I feel like I turn from side to side and even wake up and find myself laying on my back, even with the maternity pillow.  
  • Gender: Your guess is as good as mine :)
  • Movement: I am now confident that it is indeed the baby that I'm feeling.  I feel flutters here and there.
  • Food Cravings: Cheesy enchiladas, Chinese food, and lots of cold water with lemon wedges.
  • Food Aversions: None.  
  • What I miss: I really wanted a margarita at the Mexican food restaurant and the crawfish boil this past week.  
  • Best moment of the week: Going to my 16th week appointment and having it be very uneventful.  Those are the best kind of dr. appointments.
  • Big Brother: G isn't too concerned with the baby just yet.  He does love to hear the baby's heartbeat though.
