State of the Uterus - 16 Weeks

Here we are: 16 weeks. I'm 4 months pregnant! Now that I am well into the second trimester, I'm starting to feel more pregnant. I think I'm starting to look it, too. Sometimes I feel like my bump looks like chub, but on certain days, in certain outfits, I feel like I look pregnant and not just like I've eaten a few too many toaster strudels.

How far along? 16 weeks, or 4 months - whatever floats your boat.

Due Date: January 6, 2012

Total weight gain/loss: +4 lbs... okay, maybe 5. Don't judge.

Maternity clothes? Using the rubber band trick and my Bella Band to get by.

Sleep: Sleeping pretty well right now, other than the fact that Colin woke up at 5:40 am yesterday morning.

Best moment this week: I won a "What to Expect" blog giveaway. Woohoo! I also got to go see The Dark Knight Rises with my darling husband on Friday night.

Movement: Feeling more flutters, and I've felt a couple movements that made me go "whoa! That was the baby!"

Food cravings: I've still been thinking about cranberries. I wonder if they sell those in the summer?

Food aversions: Nothing in particular this week.

Gender: It kills me to know that I'm far enough along to have an elective ultrasound. Alas, it's not in our budget. We'll have to wait a few more weeks to find out.

Labor Signs: Way too early.

Belly Button in or out? In.

What I miss: Seeing the numbers on the scale go down, instead of up!

What I am looking forward to: Finding out the sex!

Milestones: Baby should be able to hear some sounds now!


Check out my 16 week update from when I was pregnant with Colin! No picture on that post, though. I don't know what I was thinking!
