How Far Along: 16 weeks
Size of baby: Baby #2 is the size of an avocado
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Still around 5 pounds. I’m also still at that stage where I just feel huge, rather than feeling pregnant.
Maternity Clothes: Still relying on the tops I ordered from Riff Raff and that fabulous Bella Band. I think I’ll actually go maternity pants shopping after our next appointment in December, and then live in the until after the baby is born. I know from the experience, that’s how it works.
Gender: We’ll know at the beginning of December, most people are convinced it’s a boy. I don’t have a strong enough feeling either way, I do feel the same as I did with Braylen, which makes me think it could be another girl.
Movement: None. I felt Braylen much later in the pregnancy (I think around 18 weeks), so I’m expecting it to be a little longer.
Sleep: is lovely. I have much more energy, but I sleep like a rock when my head hits the pillow each night. I’m also obsessed with the Bump Nest pillow. Actually, everyone in my house is obsessed with that pillow. It is the most comfortable pillow ever.
What I miss: I’m on a decaf coffee kick, so I’ve cured my coffee problem.
Cravings: I still need all of the lemon water I can get my hands on, the colder, the better. I haven’t had any specific cravings. Just like with Braylen, I could do without sweets all together and just eat hearty foods.
Symptoms: Just my enormous appetite.
Best Moment this week: My sweet husband and best friends surprising me for a birthday dinner Friday night, and spending a lazy day at home, with my sweet family for my birthday. This was one of my favorite birthdays and I can’t wait to see what this year has in store.
You are as cute as can be! I was all about the super cold lemon water when I was pregnant too! Hits the spot! 🙂
you look great lady! Time is flying right along!
You look wonderful, Mama!!
I lived on Hazelnut decaf coffee from the Keurig. Add some chocolate/caramel creamer, delicious!
I LOVED my Bella Band. Saved me so much on maternity clothes.
If it makes you feel better, find my instagram bump photos. You’re 2 weeks ahead of me and compared to you I look like I’m having triplets. You’re adorable! Feel pregnant, not huge 🙂
