16 Weeks!

And my post is actually on time! Its hard to believe it has been a little over 12 weeks since I found out I was pregnant. Sometimes it seems just like yesterday and sometimes it feels like forever ago! Still not out at work yet - most likely tomorrow. It feels weird to tell people " hey I'm pregnant", I'm a little nervous to tell work for some reason. It will be good when its all finally out.

So how far along am I? 16 Weeks!

Baby is the size of a : Avocado!

Your baby now weighs about 3.9 ounces (110 grams) and measures about 4.7 inches (12 cm) in length from crown to rump. Your baby can hold his or her head erect, and the development of facial muscles allows for a variety of expressions, such as squinting and frowning.

Next Appointment: 1/10/12 regular OB appointment - hopefully can hear the heartbeat on the Doppler at the dr's office.

Maternity clothes? Not really

 

Sleep? Ok - waking up a few times a night.

Best moment this week? Felt the tiniest movement

Food cravings: Nothing really.

Odd pregnancy symptom of the week: Headaches - yeah the majority of the sickness and heartburn is gone! I do still get a craptastic taste in my mouth frequently.

Genders: Unknown and unsure if we will find out.

Belly button in or out? Way in.

Movement? See best moment.

What I miss? Not having a crappy taste in my mouth the majority of the day.

What I'm looking forward to: Being officially out to everyone!

Weekly wisdom: Sleep and enjoy every minute while you can! The Snoogle is amazing to sleep with.

Milestones: Size of an Avocado.

 

15 weeks

So.... a little behind here. Overall things have been going wells - nausea is gone pretty much, occasional heartburn at night. Second trimester has been pretty good so far. We came out to our families on Christmas eve. I still have a few others I need to tell and then there is still work.

So how far along am I - well just about 16 weeks - but we'll keep this a 15 week post.

How big is baby?

Your baby’s skin has been continuously developing, and it is so thin and translucent that you can see the blood vessels through it. Hair growth continues on the eyebrows and the head. Your baby's ears are almost in position now, although they are still set a bit low on the head.
Internally, your baby's skeletal system continues to develop. Muscle development continues too, and your baby is probably making lots of movements with his or her head, mouth, arms, wrists, hands, legs, and feet.

Next Appointment: 1/10/12   regular OB appointment - hopefully can hear the heartbeat on the Doppler at the dr's office.

Maternity clothes? I do have one sweater - but its not really needed - I just liked it.

Sleep? Ok - waking up a few times a night.

Best moment this week? Coming out to family & friends - a few more reveals to go!
