How far along: 16 weeks! Due June 28th!
Total weight gain: Up 2 lb. and totally rockin’ a bump all the time now!
Maternity clothes: None yet, but i’m sure they will be pulled out before I know it.
Stretch marks: None yet this time around, and again I am using my FAVORITE stretch mark oil {here} and the chest cream {here}. Last time around I got three marks the ONE night I forgot to put it on my chest, so I am not making that mistake this time around!
Sleep: This week was good for sleep. Maybe not enough of it, but good regardless:)
Best moment of this week: A good friends baby shower, and date night! As I said on Instagram, I was in a crappy {for no reason} mood most of this week, so even though other good things happened, those are what sticks out to me. Glad my funk is over now!
Miss anything: Having normal hormones;)
Movement: OH YEAH!!! I felt the baby at 15weeks and a few days! I had thought that I was feeling it a few times before, but thought that there was no way since it was so early and my placenta is in front. But nope, sure enough- it was the baby!! So excited. Not feeling it every single day, but usually every other. Best thing ever and I seriously cannot wait for the kicks and rolls to get bigger so J can feel them.
Food cravings: Nothing in particular, other than maybe soda. Bad girl! Trying to drink san pellegrino with a splash of juice in it to curb that craving, sometimes it works- sometimes not. One of my friends told me about this online japanese food store where I could get ramen, miso soup or something similar, which would be a nice protein-rich broth for nourishment. I may give it a try the next time I’m craving for soda.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing! Hooray!!!!
Have you started to show yet: Yep.
Gender: Unknown, find out at 18 weeks!
Labor signs: Nope
Belly button in or out: Man oh man, it came out even more this week!
Wedding rings on or off: On, on the days that I actually wear them!
Happy or moody most of the time: Now that I have crawled my way out of my week long funk, happy!
Looking forward to: My 16 week apt {a few days late} to hear that heartbeat again, and finally get to see my normal doctor. She gets booked out so far in advance that this was the first time I will actually see her this time around. Also, booked myself a massage for this week- CANNOT wait:) (even though my partner does me a sensual massage every now and then, a professional one will really tick all my boxes!).
You have the BEST pregnancy post! Are you feeling any different with this pregnancy than your last?
Sorry Brandie for the delay- I have definitely felt differnet but not sure if that is because its baby #2 or diff gender:) We will see next Tuesday!!!
I am exactly 16 weeks pregnant today. My update sounds a lot like yours except I am still under my pre-pregnancy weight because I have been sick a few days a week but definitely have a bump. I have felt nothing, I have to say I am jealous of the fact that you get to find out the gender at 18 weeks. They are making me weight until 20 weeks. I have felt all along it was a boy but obviously I have no clue. It’s fun to find a blogger at the same stage as me. Good luck!
So sorry to hear you have been sick. I am SO thankful that I only had a few weeks of that crap. At least it helps maintain the weight gain {looking at the positive side of it:)} Hopefully the weeks will go fast for you to find out. My doctor lets me get the u/s anywhere from 18-20 weeks so naturally I am going at 18:)
Do you buy your stretch mark oil on Amazon or the Mamamio website? I looked on amazon and it was $134 and only $38 on the Mamamio website. Maybe I’m looking at two different things?!
