How far along? 16 weeks
Weight gain/loss: As of my weigh-in last week, I 2.2 lbs so that brings our total weight gain to 16lbs.
Sleep? Still waking up at least once a night to pee. And thank you to our neighbors who now have an outside German Shepard that barks. at. everything.
Best moment this week? Hearing the heartbeat again at the doctor's office.
Movement: Unless you count gas, none, although it should be starting soon so I try to be still & see if I can feel anything.
Food cravings: A lot of cereal, I eat it at least every morning & some nights for dinner.
Belly button in or out? In, for awhile I hope. But at the rate this weight gain is going, I have my doubts.
What I miss? Being able to take a deep breath, I feel like I'm being suffocated.
What I am looking forward to? Feeling the baby move, books say it should start around 16 weeks (which is NOW, come on Squishy & move for mama!).
Milestones: Squishy's legs are much more developed, head is more erect than it has been, and the eyes have moved closer to the front of the head. Ears are close to their final position, too. He/she has even started growing toenails. And there's a lot happening inside as well. For example, Squishy's heart is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood each day, and this amount will continue to increase as baby continues to develop.
What I'm nervous about: Totally superficial, gaining more weight. I'm back at the weight I was before I started dieting/exercising & I'm only 16wks. I can only imagine the stretchmarks that was headed my way.
