Second Trimester

Today I am 16 weeks and 5 days pregnant!!!! Only 163 days to go till our due date!!! Right now the baby is about the size of an avocado (4 1/2 inches long and weighs roughly 3 1/2 ounces) Grow, baby grow!!!

What I'm feeling: My energy level has definitely picked up a bit. Although with my work/sleep schedule some days are better than others. My only complaint so far is that when I do sleep it's hard to get comfortable. I know this will only get worse as time goes on unfortunately :( Poor Ev has to deal with my tossing and turning more than usual....sorry sweetie!

What I'm craving: The cravings the last few weeks have died down. A few weeks ago it seemed like I had a new food craving every day. Now it comes and goes. But as of lately I have wanted; PB&J sandwiches, Watermelon Sour Patch Kids, Twix candy bars, and chocolate milk. Apparently the baby has a bit of a sweet tooth this week!

In other news we have another doctors appointment next week to hear the heartbeat again!!! And we plan on scheduling our first ultrasound in the next 2-3 weeks. Also I'm looking forward to feeling the baby move soon. I know they say some women can feel the baby move as early as 16 weeks, but from my research I've found that most feel that first "flutter" between 18-20 weeks for first time mommas!!!

13 Weeks

Today I am officially 13 weeks pregnant and we are finally in the last week of our first trimester!!! This week the baby is the size of a peach, weighs about .81 ounces and is about 2.9 inches long.

Things I'm craving: lemonade, Crazy Cowboy chimichangas and Evan's lasagna!

What I'm feeling: TIRED!!!! Although I have noticed a slight uptick in my energy level the last few days, I am tired of being tired! Ev would tell you that he has noticed a change in my mood swings, the lucky guy. One minute we will be laughing together and the next he will be looking at me bewildered wondering where all the tears are coming from!

We have another doctors appointment this week. During this appointment we have hoping to hear the heart beat again. And we are anxiously waiting to find out the sex of the baby in the next 5-7 weeks. I have been eager to get the upstairs office squared away. We are hoping to get this project tackled during the long Labor Day weekend. All we have to do is paint and really organize this space effectively! I know once we get that room done we are one more step away from working on the nursery. So that is a huge motivator to get it done!

We haven't been very good at keeping up with our growing bump photos. We are going to try to get better at this, I promise. Below are the only bump pictures we have so far. Enjoy!
