...I've been having problems with my computer, so I am behind on posting. I wrote this 2 weeks ago at 16 weeks...
It is hard to believe, that we have now passed the 4 month mark! It is starting to feel more real. This might actually happen, we might get babies out of this whole ordeal... So, some of the lovely ladies that I follow on blogger has these weekly updates with bump pictures. I would like to think, that I can make that happen too. I know that I really enjoyed following their progress throughout their pregnancy, so here goes...
How far along: Picture was taken at 16 weeks exactly.
Total weight gain: 12-13 lbs so far.
Maternity clothes: I currently only own one pair of maternity jeans and a pair of compression leggings (Preggers) for traveling. The rest is normal clothes, but truth be told everything is getting very snug. Luckily there is no dress code for staying at home. When I venture outside, I do so in leggings and dresses.
Stretch marks? None yet, but I fear them. I have what I believe are faded stretch marks on both hips joints. Not pretty. But anything for these little munchkins.
Sleep: Is definitely not getting better. Besides the trips to the bathroom, I feel pretty uncomfortable turning around in bed. I normally prefer to lay on my belly with one leg spread out - not happening any more. Sleeping on the side with pillow between legs is okay, not optimal, just okay.
Best moment of the week: Getting to hear the babies' heartbeats at the OB appointment. It had been 3 weeks since last time I heard it. It instantly calmed me down.
Miss anything: Well, this answer will probably remain the same throughout my pregnancy. Beer, I miss beer!! Especially on hot days. But alas beer is not a recommended nutrient for babies, so it'll have to wait a couple months.
Movement: Nothing yet, not even flutters. Hopefully soon!!
Food cravings: Sushi is the big one.
Anything make you sick or queasy? Nope. I have been blessed with my mom's lack of morning sickness. Cooking something with raw meat really turns me off, but not to the point of vomiting.
Gender: From the MaterniT21 test, we know that at least one is a boy. Hope to find out what they both are soon. I can hardly wait.
Labor signs: None so far.
Symptoms: Round ligament pain every once in a while, fatigue especially in the afternoon, feeling hot most of the time and I think I have been feeling some Braxton Hicks.
Belly button in or out? In and getting very deep.
Looking forward to: My appointment with the high-risk OB next week... get to see my babies again. And also looking forward to getting away this weekend. Hubby and I are spending the weekend in Houston area. Not quite sure yet. Better start planning!!
