19 weeks

How far along? 19 weeks today
How big is baby? About 6 inches and 8 1/2 ounces...about the size of an heirloom tomato (up 5 ounces in 3 weeks!)



Total weight gain/loss? About 10 pounds
Maternity clothes? Yes.
Stretch marks? No new ones
Sleep? 10-12 hours at night, no naps usually
Best moment last week? Possibly feeling a few little kicks here and there...still very subtle though
Movement? Maybe a few kicks--not completely sure
Food cravings? Cravings have gone down quite a bit. I really don't want sweets and can't eat much as far as meals because I get full fast. We did enjoy hibachi japanese food over the weekend that I had been wanting. And fruit snacks/fruit by the foot type things.
Food aversions? It varies daily. I never know what is going to make my stomach turn until it is mentioned or smelled.
Gender? LESS THAN A WEEK! I go Feb. 4 at 8:30 am!
Labor signs? No
Pregnancy symptoms? Getting worn out easily, hard to breathe at times, sore boobs, itchy/stretching stomach
Belly button in/out? In
What I miss: Energy, motivation, sleeping comfortably (yes, still having these issues although they are getting better little by little)
What I am looking forward to: My appointment next Monday! Can't wait to hear the heartbeat again and see the baby and find out if it is a little brother or little sister!!
Milestones: Possible kicking, very obvious bump now
Bump picture: 

I just thought the last one was sweet...not as good of a bump picture but Logan is loving up on the baby.

16 weeks!

How far along? 16 weeks today
How big is baby? About 4 1/2 inches and 3 1/2 ounces...about the size of an avocado (and up 3 ounces in a month--pretty amazing!)


Total weight gain/loss? Not sure yet...my scale is definitely going up a little. I will find out Monday at my next appointment I guess.
Maternity clothes? Still stretch pants or maternity pants, occasionally a maternity shirt but mostly still regular (though getting a bit tight)
Stretch marks? No new ones
Sleep? I require less naps now but still sleep a good 12 hours every night, interrupted by 2-3 trips to the bathroom.
Best moment last week? Just seeing the bump grow more and more
Movement? Not yet
Food cravings? Nachos, bean dip, cookie dough, apples, oranges, beef stew, skittles, sweetarts, starburst...I know, so healthy (but I don't eat much of anything so at least it's in moderation)
Food aversions? It varies daily. I never know what is going to make my stomach turn until it is mentioned
Gender? Ugh! Not yet...probably have to wait another month to find out! The sono tech tried to look at 13 1/2 weeks but baby was sitting cross-legged!
Labor signs? No
Pregnancy symptoms? Well, morning sickness reared it's ugly head at 12 1/2 weeks and it was pretty rough for a while. Seems to be lightening up though...I am on day 2 of not getting sick. Other than that, just extreme moments of hunger, getting worn out easily, and moodiness
Belly button in/out? In
What I miss: Energy, motivation
What I am looking forward to: My appointment next week! Can't wait to hear the heartbeat again...no sono this time though
Milestones: Hitting the 2nd trimester, other people noticing the bump
Bump picture: No bump picture this time. We took one at 14 weeks but I swear I just looked fat, even though in person it looks like a bump. Ugh. Bump pics will just have to wait until it is way obvious.
