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!!!
