Week 16: Avocado




How big is baby: Baby is the size of an avocado this week (4.6 in and 3.5 oz).      

Weight gain/loss:  Haven't checked.  

Stretch marks: No.

Sleep:  Still no complaints!  My hips are starting to hurt though (I only notice when I wake up to go to the bathroom).  I can't really sleep on my stomach and I'm not supposed to sleep on my back...my poor hips.

Diet/Cravings/Aversions:  Still loving food :)  I can't get enough fruit.  

Exercise:  Walking, DVDs, and YMCA.

Gender: We'll find out in October!

Movement: I'm pretty sure I felt the baby yesterday for quite a while.  Nothing really today, but I know that at this stage, it won't be regular.

The belly:  To me, it doesn't really look much bigger than last week.   

What I'm spazzing about:  Some spotting.  But my Dr. office doesn't seem too concerned so I'm trying to just forget about it and be happy that everything is still ok.  

What I'm loving:  Feeling the baby for real!

Symptoms:  Round ligament pain.  Still gagging.  Sore hips at night.  Getting hungrier in the afternoon.  Small spotting.  Slight cramping here and there while things are growing.

What I'm looking forward to:  Not baby related, but getting to see my BFF next weekend!  I'm so excited and can't wait :)      

Best moment of the week:  Getting to spend the weekend with family.  We had such a great weekend.  I'm always sad to leave.  I'll see my mom again this weekend though...she's coming here for a few things we have planned.
