16 Weeks



How far along? 16 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 9 lbs (Yikes!! I think all the candy is catching up with me!!)
Maternity clothes? None yet. I've been wearing the BeBand so I don't have to button my pants!
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: Sleeping great just waking multiple times to use the restroom
Best moment this week: Mad an appointment for the anatomy ultrasound!
Miss Anything? Wine (There have been so many graduation dinners the past couple of weeks. Water is just not fun when everyone else is drinking!!)
Movement: Nothing definite. I think I felt something a couple of times this week, but still not 100% sure.
Food cravings: Nothing really, but I have been on a sour Skittle kick lately. 
Anything making you queasy or sick: No!! (I have been really lucky with this)
Symptoms: Exhaustion-started this week. I have a hard time keeping my eyes open past 8 pm. Metallic Taste-I've had this since about 9 weeks. If I eat something sweet, I get a bad taste in my mouth. As long as I chew gum after, it goes away. (Obviously, this hasn't put a stop to my sweet habit!!)
Have you started to show yet: Just looks like I am really pudgy! :)
Gender prediction: Boy. I'm going to stick with my original thought, but more and more people are saying girl!
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!
Running? Yep! Although I don't like running when it's hot and running while it's hot and pregnant is NO FUN!! My weekend runs may end up turning into walks soon. It was 84 degrees when I finished my run this morning at 8:30. Yuck!!  
Looking forward to: Looking pregnant & feeling the baby move!

How far along? 13 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 3.5-4 lbs (I think this has more to do with the Bahamas and birthday celebrations than baby!!)

Anything making you queasy or sick: No!! (I have been really lucky with this)
Have you started to show yet: Looking a little chubby but that can go along with the answer to number 1!

I started prenatal yoga this week. It is much slower than my normal class but I think it will be best for me during the pregnancy.

In other news, Mike officially has ONE MONTH left of fellowship!! I can't believe this journey is almost over. He is studying his butt off for the transesophageal echocardiology boards. He takes that in July and then has his oral anesthesia boards in October. It is amazing to me his drive and willpower!
