16 Weeks & Counting!

Yay! I am now 16 weeks pregnant! It is crazy how different this pregnancy seems from Noahs. It is still flying by just like his did, but the waves of nausea and tiredness are a lot more this time around. I am not extra sleepy (I am sleeping fine though, for now), but just tire easily chasing Noah or cleaning house, or anything else very active. Here are some stats this far in my pregnancy:

* Gained 2 pounds

* Not in maternity clothes just yet, but some things I have outgrown already, and some days my jeans get unbuttoned about mid-day :)

* The nausea is pretty much gone. There are times when I will just get a wave of nausea - but it goes away quickly.

* I am currently craving cheese, chips, pickles, ice cream, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and salads.

* I am currently despising most cooked meat - especially steak.

* I finally for sure felt the baby move today! I have been really wanting to feel this for so long. It is really weird to go from a big belly that you can feel move all the time, to a little belly and you have to really concentrate to feel movements. This helped make it more real for sure.

* The baby has a first name but no definite middle name - Nathan is not much help on that until about 2 weeks before the kid is born!

I have grown quite a bit in the last 2 weeks and compared to my belly pictures with Noah, I am as big at 16 weeks as I was at 20 weeks! Uh-oh!
