16 Weeks Pregnancy Update

February 28, 2018

How far along:

16 weeks

Baby is the size of an:

Avocado

Total weight gain:

14lbs.

Maternity Clothes?

Still wearing regular clothes with some maternity clothes mixed in here and there.

Stretch Marks?

None. I think I have to switch stretchmark lotions though, because the smell of mine makes me nauseous.

Sleep?

Has been a little better this week. Only getting up once for the bathroom now, which has been great.

Best moment of the Week:

We announced the gender on social media and everyone was so excited for us! I also had an ultrasound this week, which is always super exciting. The baby was much more chill this time around.
I also had a really fun brunch with some friends at my favorite restaurant.

Movement:

None.

Food Cravings:

Salads, Pancakes and Bagels with Cream Cheese are still a hit as well.

Belly Button in or out:

Definitely in.

Gender:

I will post our gender reveal pictures soon!

Symptoms:

Reading back my pregnancy update with Fox at 16 weeks, made me realize that I felt better by now. Which kind of freaks me out, because I have been getting worse over the last week or so and throw up almost every morning now. Super weird. But, there is nothing I can do about it besides hope that it will pass soon.

Still tired, but could be worse.

Anything Making you queasy or Sick?

Eating, not eating, driving, certain smells…but I’m feeling queasy pretty much every minute of every day.

Have you Started to Show yet?

You wouldn’t be able to tell when you see me on the street. The bump is there, but I mostly wear loose fitting clothes.

What I miss:

The usual. Energy, feeling good, sleeping through the night.

What I'm looking forward to:

My anatomy scan is scheduled in two weeks, which is a 45 minute ultrasound. While I’m nervous that they will find something, I’m excited to see our baby a little longer and hopefully feel some peace about the health after.

What I'm not looking forward to:

It’s Show Week again, which means long hours, a weekend full of work and no rest. Katie is going on vacation in about a week, and I’m freaking out a little. I’m totally fine taking care of Fox by myself over an extended period of time and have done so multiple times in the past, but I get so sick at night and already feel sad for him to not have his wild playing buddy each night. He’s excited though and asks me every day how many more days, he said we will have lots of playdates and a sleepover in my bed every night…haha.

April phone dump

Some more pictures of our April. He's my bed hog, but I love sharing the bed with him and the way he comes find me in his sleep to snuggle up to me. Work Crew! Easter Preparations...it took me a solid hour to fill all the eggs. Finn chipped his permanent front tooth, and had to get it fixed. He was so brave. I tried to hold his hand to let him know I was there, and he kept giving me a thumbs up. Reading in bed with them is my favorite. We went to play mini golf, and it was an absolutely shit show. Just look at Finn in the background, he was on fire on this day. That's his "cool face". Not pictured are all the times he melted down because he wasn't "good enough". I really need to stop playing this game with him, because it happens every single time...haha. Book Club! I wasn't a fan of the book, but it was great getting out and talking about books with other readers. He got into kinetic sand for a few weeks, and I felt like my floors were covered in s...

Germany

I took a quick trip to Germany over spring break while the boys were on vacation with Katie. My dad had some medical issues over the past year, and it had been almost two years since I went, but a trip that was supposed to be five days in Germany, ended up being only four days because of flight delays. When in Germany for the first time, you HAVE to try Mettbroetchen. Needless to say, she was not a fan haha. A trip down memory lane is always on the agenda for the first day, walking around my village, visiting the homes where I grew up in (which are luckily still owned by my family), visiting my grandparent's graves, and eating all my favorite foods. My only living grandparent, and one of the main reasons I wanted to go visit. It was so special to spend time with her. We had doener almost every day! Family dinner at my favorite restaurant one night, I absolutely loved how many people were able to join us even though it was very short notice. We also had breakfast at my grandma'...

May iPhone dump

Some pictures to round up on our May! I got this sweet birthday card from my supervisors and director and it made my day. Playdates with friends! I took the boys to the Home Show to visit Katie. Aunt Bri photo bombed their picture! Dentist vibes! We had a fun dinner and swim date with my friend Lindsay and her kids. These two jumped in the pool fully dressed! I loved seeing how well they got along. Finn's Mother's Day Project from school, always funny! They had a cute Mother's Day celebration at school where they served us moms with muffins and coffee, and presented a little poem. My friend Jessica posted this about our random Goodwill date, and I loved her words. For my birthday, I wanted to have a little brunch with my friends, and it was such a perfect morning with my favorite people. Add a baby in the mix, and I was in heaven! Proud mom moment, and this needs a permanent spot for my memories. Fox has worked so incredibly hard this year, I was so worried about him transi...
