Pregnancy Week 16

Update day! I feel like the next few weeks are going to fly by...we have a lot going on to get us from here to week 20! :) Baby M is as big as an avocado this week- and I feel like that is a pretty substantial size. We're getting bigger by the day over here. You'll see in my pictures below that we still don't have much bumpage, but are definitely getting super thick. I'll try to post a comparison from a few weeks ago to see how much change we have going on. Here are the stats...

How far along?: 16 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: I'm going to wait and update you all on this after the appointment Monday afternoon. I'm thinking it went up by at least a pound this week. Ugh.

Maternity clothes?: Not totally, but now that I have some pieces to work with I have started to incorporate them into my wardrobe. The elastic banded shorts and leggings are awesome...anndddd that's one thing I never thought I'd hear myself saying.

Sleep: Another great week.

Best moment this week: Going to the new Starbucks on post on Friday!!! Ahhh, my life is complete.
Movement: I don't think so...but I'm thinking it will be soon!

Food cravings: Not this week...besides the M&M McFlurry I "had" to have on Tuesday.

Gender: Still no clue, but I should be able to give you the exact date that we will be finding out tomorrow afternoon! We're getting close people!

Belly Button: Innie

Stretchmarks?: No newbies here, but you know what little treat I do have going on? Big blue veins on my lovely lady lumps...aka chest. Very attractive.

What I miss: Running more than 3 miles without having to pee. Ordering a Grande, no foam, Skinny Vanilla Latte from Starbucks...

What I am looking forward to: My appointment tomorrow :)

Weekly Wisdom: Bring lots of healthy snacks and water to work so you aren't tempted to hit up a vending machine mid-day!
Milestones: Finally getting a hair cut. (Does that count?)

annddd your pictures:

Let's try out a comparison shot (Week 11 v. Week 16):

Ok, not as big as a difference as I thought it would be, but it feels like it. We'll try this again in a few more weeks and see if there is a little more change. I'll give you guys a weekend update tomorrow and check back in after the appointment! Check ya tomorrow.

xo,
