Week 16: These weeks are flying by without major change in my symptoms or my belly size so every 2 weeks is all I will probably keep up with. Last Friday I had my 16 week appointment and heard the heartbeat again which was in the 150's still. This will be the last belly shot because I'm pretty sure next time at 18 weeks you will be able to see my belly pooch out in my clothes. It may just look like I had 1 too many twinkies though rather than a baby ;)
Syptoms: No symptoms hardly. So far this pregnancy has been good to me! Sleeping great and feeling great...only thing is my bladder gets full fast to where i have to pee a lot but that is normal. Also when I run (which I have only been running about twice a week now) it feels like there is pressure on my bladder which is a little uncomfortable but I want to stay somewhat active so I will keep running until I get too big.
Weight Gain: At the doctor this time I was 3 pounds over what my start weight was. I don't attribute this to the baby but this is the result of how much we have been eating out in a short span of time. With veteran's day and so many places giving free meals, we ate free at Applebee's, Ponderosa all you can eat buffet, and Red Robin all in that weekend...lol. Then my parents took us out to Cracker Barrel shortly after and our friends from church Terra and Victor took us out to El Nopal and my Mom and Dad took me out when John was out of town to El Alcupulco where I ate the whole plate of chicken chimichangas! Makes me feel stuffed just thinking about it! Now with my birthday on Wed, Thanksgiving on Thurs, and Christmas around the corner, there will be lots and lots of food so my belly may expand more than it should...lol.
Gender: Still unknown until Dec 14th. I thought it would be fun to have a small gender reveal party with the fam and make them wait to find out until they come over to my house that evening and I was going to make a cake and put with blue or pink icing in the center. My Mom keeps telling me she wouldn't be able to stand the wait but I think it would make it more exciting than just telling my parents over the phone while they are at work. My appt is 8:30am so I will see if I am even able to resist sharing right away.
Movement: Still nothing yet but now that I am getting closer to 18 weeks I think it will happen soon so I am excited!
I'm so glad you are doing well!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a lot of eating out, but all good places and I would have gone too!!!!
I am so sorry I forgot to wish you a happy birthday when we were texting, it has just been so crazy with all the sickness.
I hope you have a great day tomorrow and that Cory is feeling better for your birthday and Thanksgiving!!!!
