16 Weeks

And 1 day....I just can't seem to get it together enough to post on Fridays! Here is the run down for the week:

How Far Along - 16 weeks (and 1 day)
Size of Baby - An avocado (Going to be honest, I have no idea what one looks like)
4 1/2 inches long and 3 1/2 ounces
Total Weight Gain - As of last week, 1.5 pounds
Maternity Clothes - Not yet! I have bought a belly band that lets me unbutton my pants and still wear my normal clothes. What a great invention! My mom did buy me some
tops to wear for later. She knows I am dreading spending money on clothes I
will only wear for a little while.
Gender - Still no clue, will know on December 2 - if the baby cooperates!
Sleep - Can't complain here. I am still sleeping pretty well besides getting up in the middle of the
night to use the restroom. I cannot explain how annoying that is! I have been having
some crazy dreams though, including one where I gave birth to a cat that looks like JRoll.
WTF?
What I Crave - Nothing really. It's weird. Normally I can think about dinner (pre-pregnancy)
and think of something I HAVE to have. Now, nothing sticks out and no matter
what my husband suggests it just doesn't seem like that's what I REALLY want. I
could use some chocolate chip cookies (homemade) right now though!
Symptoms - None really. I was tried before baby, so I am just as tired now. Not as bad as I was in the beginning though. My belly is starting to get bigger - not too much but I can tell
and so can Michael. I can't wait until I get out of the stage where people wonder,
and they just know!
Baby Purchases - So far we have gotten a Chase Utley shirt (of course!), a little soft rattle that
goes with my favorite book, "Guess How Much I Love You." That's about it. I
am waiting until we find out what it is before we really start looking! Once we
find out, we will register too.

Have a great weekend!
