 |
| 16 Weeks, 3 days-- Ready for a 5k Run :) Definitely slowing down, but still able to do my usual distance! |
 |
| 16 Weeks, 5 Days-- "America Day" at school for spirit week! |
How far along? 17 Weeks
Baby Size: Approximately 5.1 inches or the size of an Onion!
Total weight gain: 10ish lbs. -- Our scale stopped working last week & that's what I had gained at that point-- hopefully still about the same, because I'm hitting the maximum weight gain for this particular week of pregnancy according to my Bump App. However, my doc says I'm right on track & not to worry what the pregnancy apps say I should gain, as every pregnancy is different!
Maternity clothes? I have started wearing my maternity pants to work & recently bought a couple pairs of jeans-- I will be wearing the maternity pants from here until the end (and probably postpartum). I am not wearing maternity dresses or tops just yet-- I'm still trying to squeeze into my normal tops for as long as possible!
Stretch marks? Nope
Sleep: Alright-- some nights are better than others with getting up to potty!
Best moment(s) this week: Last week we started our small group back up again-- It was nice to have them over for dinner & the new Seacoast alignment study!
Miss Anything? My clothes-- just because I am in an awkward phase in which things are becoming more difficult to wear, while maternity things are still sort of too big. It's much more difficult right now to plan my outfits & still feel "cute."
Movement: I feel him/her move at least two or three times per day! I feel the tiny flutters typically at work, while working in my office or at night if I am sitting still or getting ready to fall asleep! They're AMAZING! I can't wait to feel more distinct kicks/movements & for Matt to be able to feel them as well :)
Food cravings: Anything pumpkin-- but that's typical of me this time of year! I'm still really loving my fresh fruit! I've also started craving red meat, which I haven't eaten in over 2 years-- we may incorporate a small amount in a dinner this week & see how my stomach handles it.
Anything making you queasy or sick: My prenatal gummies have been making me gag-- but other than that I feel great!
Gender: About 2.5 weeks (October 2nd) until WE know & about 4.5 Weeks (October 18th) until YOU ALL know!!!
Labor Signs: No.
Symptoms: Growing Belly & Round Ligament Pain
Belly Button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off? On.
Mood: Pretty happy most days-- still somewhat sensitive at times.
Looking forward to: October 2nd-- gender appt!!!
For this Bumpdate, I added some pics from both Week 16 & 17. Hopefully I will get better at updating weekly!
I hope everyone has a wonderful week!

I can't get over how cute you are!! Don't worry about what all those sites say. I hold the opinion that your body will do what it needs to for your baby. I gained 40 lbs with both pregnancies (well over the 25-35 typically recommended), neither baby was huge (both under 7.5), and I lost all my weight last time without modifying anything.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lauren!!! I'm trying so hard to remember that this weight gain is good & necessary for baby! My two biggest fears of pregnancy are gaining too much & not getting rid of it and labor! It's nice to hear that even when you gain a little more than the "expected" amount, that it's easy to bounce back :) Thanks for the encouragement!!
