Nick and Amy plus TWO!: 16 Weeks and Dr Update!

WOW! 16 weeks already! In just a little less than 4 weeks we will find out if this little peanut is a BOY or GIRL! I am sure these next few weeks will drag by! I am so excited to find out and start getting ready for this sweet little bundle to arrive! I am also ready to start calling this baby by name! We have had a girl's name picked out for years and we started talking about another little boy's name not long after we had Brayden. I like to be prepared and I think it is fun to come up with baby names!

I have been feeling better this week as far as the nauseousness goes. I have had a couple of spells with nauseousness but overall it is better. My allergies on the other hand are worse and they are giving me so much trouble. At least I have not been as sick at my stomach. Hopefully I am getting away from the morning sickness!

I feel like that I turned 16 weeks pregnant and my belly got bigger overnight! I feel like all the weight that I have gained so far is all in my belly. My husband even noticed that my belly seemed to get bigger overnight!

I went to the doctor on Tuesday and all is well!! It was a quick visit. My blood pressure was great and I weigh 120. I have gained 5 pounds to date. I got to hear this sweet little baby's heartbeat again! I will never get tired of hearing that sound. The doctor said that the baby is still sitting pretty low. She laughed at me because I as still able to fit into my regular jeans. She did say that next visit I will probably be out of those and into my maternity jeans! LOL

She confirmed our next appointment to find out the sex of the baby!! YAY! We cannot wait to finally know what this little one is! I just hope he/she cooperates!

Here are my 16 week highlights!

Pregnancy Highlights!

How far along? 16 weeks 5 days

Size of Baby? Size of an avocado, approximately 4 1/2 inches and 3 1/2 ounces.

Weight Gain/Loss? About 1 pound this week! TOTAL GAINED 5 POUNDS (120LBS)

Maternity Clothes? Still in my normal clothes and jeans!

Best Moment this week? Hearing our baby's heartbeat! Always an amazing sound!!!

Gender? We find out May 15th!!! 25 more days!!!! YAY!!!

Movement? I felt movement on Easter Sunday but I haven't felt much since. The doctor said no need to worry because the baby is sitting so low that it might be a couple more weeks before I feel constant movement.

Food Craving? OH MY! Where do I start? Pickles and ranch dressing, Pasta Salad or Salad period, chocolate covered strawberries, the list goes on and on.

What I miss? Like I have said before, I miss feeling like myself. This pregnancy has been so much different than my pregnancy with Brayden. I have been so sick, exhausted and SO emotional. My poor husband gets to ride the emotional roller coaster with me. I can go from happy to mad, to crying all in a matter of seconds and I have no clue why! I cry at everything these days! HA! Oh the joys of pregnancy!

Sleep? Still sleeping really well.

What I am looking forward to? Finding out the sex of this baby and finally calling him/her by name instead of "the baby".

Symptoms? Nauseous at times, dull headaches along with migraines, trouble with allergies!
