16 Weeks – Baby Bean

How far along? 16 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: Total gain of 0lbs… I’ve lost the few pounds that I gained. 

Maternity clothes? Yep… 

Stretch marks? Same old ones I’ve had since Boogie!

Sleep: I’ve slept okay the past few days, probably from sheer exhaustion, though I’ve gone to bed with pretty bad nausea. Nothing seems to ease it.

Best moment this week: Feeling a few kicks on Father’s Day. I can feel this baby every now and then, this was the first time though. Throughout the week I’ll have a little movement here and there, that gives me a hope that maybe I don’t have an anterior placenta this time!

Movement: A little!

Food cravings: Oh gosh… the Southwest Chicken Premium Wrap from McDonalds. I don’t even like McDonalds...

Gender: Well, technically we “find out” on Thursday, but we will be having the ultrasound tech put the potty shots and the gender in an envelope to give to my friend Christa who will be helping us get a gender reveal cake for our party on July 12th!

Labor signs: None.

Belly button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? Depends on the day. We need to get our AC fixed (it works… but not well at the moment) so my hands have been swelling from the heat and humidity. Lame 🙁

What I miss: Feeling normal… my emotions are insane right now. I cried over my food craving last night… we couldn’t find it. I was so upset :*(

What am I looking forward too: Gender Reveal party with our closest friends and family!

Weekly Wisdom: I have been allowing myself to forgive more frequently, but maybe not as you think. I’ve been forgiving MYSELF. I am not perfect, I will never be perfect, I can only do my very best and strive to be the best mommy I can be.

Milestones: Baby Bean can HEAR!
