| 16 Weeks |
Week: 16
Baby: Baby Pease is the size of a Turnip (5 inches, 5 ounces)! Another book says about the size of your open hand! The baby is beginning to accumulate cute baby fat and can hear our voices! Time to start reading stories and singing in the shower!
Stretch Marks: Not Yet
Maternity Clothes: Sometimes. I have a be band that I borrowed from Lindsey that is allowing me to stay in some of my pre-pregnancy pants a bit longer! It is amazing!
Sleep: I can no longer sleep on my back or my stomach- they say that it can limit the oxygen supply to the baby, so I am now a side sleeper. Having to convert to that, along with constantly being worried that I will turn over to my stomach or back, has made me a light sleeper...which I never thought would be possible! Oh, and I am still up to use the bathroom every couple hours! Oh, Joy!
Movement: Not yet- but all the books say sometime between 16-20 weeks!
Yummy: Peanut Butter
Eww!: Meat
Symptoms: Still feel great. Feeling some of the "growing pains" and stretching as the bump gets a little bigger!
Mood: Happy and excited, and still a little tired!
High of the week: Hearing the baby's heartbeat at the appointment, which I sent Justin home from because the office lost power and I was going to have to reschedule. I feel so bad that you missed it, J! Xo!
Low of the week: Actually feeling hungover after the wedding we went to because I haven't been up that late and had that little sleep in 4 months. It wasn't fair for a girl who drank water all night! :)
Most looking forward to: Feeling the baby move- should be any day now!
allie, you look beautiful and glowing. It had to br an awesome moment to hear the heartbeat for the first time. Mom said she remembers hearing your's for the first time like it was yesterday. Thanks for creating this blog- it is an excellent way to stay in touch and see the progress. We miss you guys and love you tons! Dad
