How far along? 16 weeks - I missed a couple posts while I was lost in wedding mania. It's okay, though ... my belly didn't change that much.
Symptoms? Worst one now is headaches ... they've been pretty frequent, and I try not to take anything for them if I can help it. No more queasiness, energy has gone way up from the first trimester, and I've been digesting food a lot better, too. So far, VERY impressed with the second trimester!
Total weight gain/loss: Up 3 lbs. to 136 - yeah!! Our little turnip is growin' and growin'!
Maternity clothes? Nope
Food cravings: Oranges, Granny Smith apples, Hot Cheetos (which I have cut myself off from since they are SO bad for you ... but oh so delicious), Oreos dunked in milk, salad with Italian dressing, pickles, cereal ...
Anything making you queasy or sick: Still grossed out by any cheese that hasn't been melted, fish (although I did eat a little bit in Hawaii that wasn't awful) ... that's about it.
Stretch marks? Nope
Sleep: Sleeping great!
Best moment this week: Having Steve wake me up in the middle of the night with his hand on my belly, frantically asking me if I could feel the baby moving ... sure enough, I felt the first flutters! So incredible :)
Have you told family and friends: Yep - just need to find out the gender and spread that good news around!
Miss Anything? Beer, margaritas (not drinking any tropical drinks in Hawaii was sad!), and sushi is still my #1 craving ... probably only because I can't have it.
Movement: Flutters and little kicks/rolls - even woke me up from a nap this week!
Have you started to show yet: Not so much in clothes, although the belly is definitely growing. Won't be long now ...
Labor Signs: None
Belly Button in or out? Innie
Wedding rings on or off? BOTH rings (yep, I have 2 now!!) are comfortably on ... still looking to get my engagement ring resized 'cause it's a little too big.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happiest I've ever been!
Baby Stuff Purchased? Mom and Dad (a.k.a. Nana and Papa) bought Baby another adorable elephant wall hanging for the nursery ... looks like we're gonna have an elephant wall! :)
Looking forward to: My first OB appointment/seeing and hearing our baby's heartbeat for the first time. We are officially scheduled for Halloween :) :)
