'Bumpdate'...For some reason that phrase sort of bothers me, but
whatever. I am not clever enough to come up with something else so I guess it
will do! I have been absolutely TERRIBLE keeping track and notes of each week
of my pregnancy but hopefully I will start getting better at it as the weeks go
on..

| This picture was taken at about 15 1/2 weeks! |
How far along: 16 weeks (and 2 days.. but who’s counting?)
Size of the baby: Avocado or about 4.5 inches
Weight gain: about 3-5 pounds depending on the day or time i weigh myself :)
Maternity clothes? Barely. I bought my first pair of
maternity pants last week (holla at H&M.. best maternity pants ever) and
have worn them once. All of my clothes still fit me but they are so dang
uncomfortable by the end of the day. Screw wearing skirts to work because
pencil skirts are of the devil right now and basically the most uncomfortable
thing on the planet. Besides tights. Which go hand-and-hand with skirts so
basically I just hate them both right now. Getting dressed for work is
stressful because I am supposed to dress business casual, but wearing my
regular pencil skirts is a big HECK NO, and heels make my sciatic nerve go
crazy.
Sleep: GOOD! I have pretty much always been able to sleep
through practically anything.. and for the most part pregnancy has been the
same. I can still sleep on my stomach since I barely have a bump, but it is
getting to be a little uncomfortable. Some nights are better than others but I
can still sleep through the whole night with out having to wake up to go to the
bathroom. Win! I am dreading the nights of waking up 2-3 times to pee.
Cravings: they change all the time! I have been absolutely
loving on hot wings right now. Which is sooo weird because I normally don’t even
really like wings! Buffalo Wild Wings has saved me and I have ordered the 3rd
hottest sauce on my wings.. Wha? I am normally the biggest baby with hot foods.
I have also been craving celery and carrots.. and I have to drink orange juice
every morning. So weird. My food intake really hasn’t changed too much.. just
sometimes things sound reallyyy good!
Baby movement? Yes! I felt my first solid kick at 15 ½ weeks!
It was unlike anything I have ever felt before.. it happened three consecutive
times in a 10 minute span or so.. all in the same general area. I was freaking out!! I
was so excited. Unfortunately I have not felt little kicks again, but I am sure
they will become more consistent in the weeks to come. So excited for that.
Gender Prediction: For my whole pregnancy thus far I have
thought girl, but in the last few weeks I am so unsure!! I am UNREAL excited to
find out boy or girl.
Challenges this week: I have had some cramping,
(muscles/ligaments making room for baby), but other than that I have felt SO
good! With the exception of occasional gnarly headaches,..No complaining here. My sciatic nerve is doing much better and for the
most part I have learned to understand what my body needs.
Best moment this week: Feeling the baby kick and going to my
appointment tomorrow! Two weeks from today we will know the gender.... Eekk!!!
Nursery: Ammon’s parents bought us a crib for our Christmas
present this year and I am OBSESSED! Am and I bought the matching dresser to go
with it and I can’t wait to get it all set up!
