My baby bump at 16 weeks from the side:
And from the front:
Total Weight Gain: I gained one lb this week, bringing my total weight loss so far to 7 lbs. I hope I have finally stopped losing weight.
Movement: I thought I felt a little flutter or two last week, but I haven’t felt anything since. Could have just been wishful thinking.
Boy or Girl? Hopefully we will schedule that ultrasound at my appointment this week.
Food Cravings: Apples of course. I think we are going apple picking soon though!
How I’m Feeling: I feel pretty great until it’s time to go to sleep. I can no longer get comfortable. I am going to buy a body pillow today, so hopefully that will help. I am also hungry all the time. I have to eat at least every 2 hours, but I can’t eat very much at one time.
Size of Baby: Avocado (4 to 5 in. and 3 to 5 oz)
Baby’s Development: Tiny bones in baby’s ears are in place this week, making it likely that he or she can hear my voice. Baby’s face now has both eyebrows and eyelashes.
Best Part of this Week: We ordered the crib this week, I ordered supplies to make the mobile, and I have picked out the fabric for the bedding. I am so excited to be working on the nursery!
What I’m Looking Forward To: My 16 week appointment this week!
