Pregnancy Update and Bump-date
I'm almost to the 16 week mark! I'm SO happy that this pregnancy is flying by so far. Only a few short weeks before I find out the gender of this sweet pea. I'm so ready for that appointment! I'm not exactly sure if I will find out at the appointment, or at the gender reveal party with everyone else. I know I'll probably be too excited to wait! :) Here's a quick bump-date for you:
How Far Along? Almost 16 weeks!
Size of the Baby? Avocado
Maternity Clothes? At last I'm fitting back into my regular clothes! :) I don't even have to use the belly band anymore. The bloating has diminished, and I'm expecting the real bump to pop out any time now.
Stretch Marks? Nope! Still hoping and praying! Thankfully, most of this comes down to genetics, and my mom did not have them.
Gender? We are down to the 3 week mark to find out! I have been so tempted to pay for an early ultrasound!
Name? We have a few that we really like. My husband cracks me up... after we watch a TV show he always goes through the names on the credits to see if any sound good with our last name. Haha!
Sleep? Still sleepy all the time. I wake up multiple times a night to use the restroom- oh, joy!
Cravings? The worst craving yet... chick fil a! And I live in Michigan... which doesn't have one. Torture!
What I Miss? Sleeping through the night and not throwing up.
Symptoms? Morning Sickness, headaches, sleepy, nightly bathroom breaks
Movement? I'm pretty sure I've been feeling some flutters. It's so hard to tell since I'm not sure what I'm looking for.
Belly Button? In.
Morning Sickness? Still pretty bad.
Weight Gain? Nope! I've lost quite a bit, though!
Best Moment? My husband talking about how excited he is for this baby to get here. :) It melts my heart!
Fall Maternity Fashion
I'm still in the weird phase of maternity where I'm starting to get a little bump, but I'm still way too small for maternity clothes. Thankfully fall weather has come on at full force in Michigan, so I've brought out the sweaters, blazers, and boots! The key to this point in the pregnancy is comfy-chic. My style tends to be fairly "preppy" and I love to incorporate equestrian inspired pieces to my closet. I try to wear looser items to conceal the belly. Dark pants are great right now as they help to create a slimmer look. I love American Eagle's Jeggings as they have a ton of stretch but still look pulled together.
Other Happenings...
2. I finally am brave enough to park in the maternity parking spots at stores. Best invention ever!
3. I saw the CUTEST baby boy clothes at Babies R Us. The little old man cardigan absolutely melted my heart. In my heart I'm absolutely dying for a little baby girl, so I've been trying to look at more boys things to get me excited if life goes that way instead. I feel so selfish for wanting a daughter, and I know I'd love a son JUST as much... I'm just trying to prepare myself so I can be excited no matter what.
4. Look what's back! :) I was absolutely THRILLED when I saw this two-pack of Pumpkin Spice Creamer at SAM'S Club!
Have a fantastic week everyone! I hope that this week brings lots of good memories and happiness to you.
Ahhh, you are SOOOO cute.
ReplyDeleteAhh, you look so cute!!
ReplyDeleteWonder how a chicken sandwich would hold up if I over-nighted you one? I could mail you chick-fil-a sauce lol.

Finding out the gender is the MOST FUN DAY EVER. I was a nervous excited wreck all day. I too, wanted a girl, and told myself it was a boy to 'get used to the idea'...got so used to it I was truly ok either way - and almost preferred a boy! Lucky, because that's what we are having:)
