16 Weeks

How Far Along: 16

Size of Baby as Relative to Common Household Fruit or Vegetable: A yummy Avocado

Total Weight Gain: Not quite sure, so far 5lbs

Gender: BABY GIRL!!!!!

Movement: baby is moving! I feel her just about everyday. It's the best feeling and I've missed it so much in between pregnancies. No real kicks yet, just lots of rolling movements. 

Sleep: Still sleeping great!

What I miss: It was hot this week-would have loved an ice cold beer :)

Cravings: nothing really this week. I've had a bit of a sweet tooth

Symptoms: Feeling slightly swollen thanks to the heat this week. Peeing every minute, it seems. I literally went to the restroom, washed my hands and then sat right back down and went again! I swear one day I felt my bladder bouncing. 

Best moment of the week: Finding out we are having a GIRL! I am so excited. Knowing there is a sweet baby girl in there just melts my heart. Seeing her growing was great too. We get to see her so much and I feel so lucky. Her heartbeat was 150 this week. 

Worst moment of the week: Finding out I have bacteria vaginosis. My Dr. assured me it would be ok. I'm on the antibiotics and it's still early. My cervix and the cerclage still look great--but still it's a hiccup and it's scaring me a little. I'm just thankful we caught it. 

Here's to a great week 17!
