16 Weeks


16 weeks now
(Do you think John could have told me my hair was sticking up when he took this picture???)



16 weeks with Meyers
(Okay, I was thinking it was the angle of the camera, but maybe I was bigger with Meyers at this point. I think it's a little of both. I carry around 30 pounds a lot everyday, and she is kind of dead weight. She doesn't help much when I carry her:) Clearly I was not doing that when I was pregnant with her! Maybe that is the difference.)

(On another note about the pictures with Meyers, I was not blogging then. I was thinking these pictures were only for me. I was looking ahead at some of them, and they are rough! It must mean I have no shame to put them on the internet now. I'm serious. You'll see.)

How Far Along: 16 weeks

Size of baby: size of an avocado, 4.5 inches long and weighs 3.5 oz.

Maternity Clothes: I'm still rocking the stretchy skirts and maternity fitted tops.



Gender: not finding out!!!

Movement: maybe......I didn't feel anything with Meyers until I felt a definite jab while I was grading papers at my desk at 23 weeks. I will NEVER forget that first kick. I never really knew if I felt flutters with her. Since I know what things feel like now, I "may" have felt a flutter. Maybe not.

Sleep: I am sleeping okay besides getting up to use the restroom at least once.

What I Miss: wearing my cute summer clothes and eating cold sandwiches. I know that not every pregnant woman adheres to the "not eating cold lunchmeat" thing, but I'm a rule follower, so I do. I can not wait to eat a Savory Club Crossiant from Holiday Ham. I want one as soon as I get out of recovery:)



Cravings: Sour candy. I also bought dill pickle pringles today. They are really good! Still drinking lots of water. Maybe the water will cancel out the sour candy I can't stay away from.


Symptoms: Still having heartburn some. I had it with Meyers some, but I don't remember it being this early. And I am still having CRAZY dreams!!



Best Moment This Week: Hearing the heartbeat at my doctor's appointment this week. It took what felt like hours before she found it. I was sort of panicking, but then she did and it was awesome! Second best moment of the week: getting done with three weeks of 13 trunk shows and sending my trunk off to Fedex. I love being able to get Meyers tons of clothes and other things that it provides for this stay-at-home-mommy, but I am always ready to be done until the next season!!
