If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we would find in each person's life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility. -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

BL-16 Weeks



How far along? 16 Weeks 
Baby is the size of a... Avocado
Total weight gain: Dr. visit was unusual b/c she had a patient go into labor, so she called her dr. friend to come read the ultrasound.  We have to go back for the checkup.
Maternity clothes? I am finding more and more clothes are getting too tight.  I have a few maternity shirts and pants, but I am most comfortable in skirts and dresses. 
Stretch marks? No
pe
Sleep?: Not great.  I am tired all day but can never sleep.  It is a very frustrating process.  We bought a giant pillow that can act as a body pillow, but it takes up half the bed.  Sleeping is tough.  Somehow I have loads of energy in the morning, though.  
Best moment this week: Much to our surprise, finding out that LL is a boy!!!
Miss Anything? Still missing sleeping and having energy
Movement: Nothing that is identifiable 
Food cravings: Jelly Beans, cereal and milk, ranch dressing on a baked potato and chinese food!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Meat.  I am liking being a vegetarian.  
Gender: Sweet Baby Boy
Labor Signs: Nope
Symptoms: The nausea is gone!!! Praise God!!  
Belly Button in or out?  It is still hanging on....barely.  Be strong, little guy!
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy as a clam!!!
Looking forward to: Finding out where LL is going to sleep.  And wrapping up grad school within the next 10 days.
