Weeks 14-16


Fruit/Veggie: 

Week 14 - Lemon, Week 15 - Naval Orange, Week 16 - Avocado

Best Moment of the Weeks:

My favorite moment in recent weeks has been starting to research and go look at baby furniture and gear. We've looked at cribs, bedding, strollers, car seats, you name it. It has been quite fun!


Gender:

We find out this weekend!! Praying baby cooperates on Friday morning. CANNOT WAIT!!

Movement:

I do think that I've felt some movements now. They are little flutters every once in awhile and started right around week 16.

Food Cravings:

Nothing major over the last few weeks though my appetite has come back which is nice. I still like sweets more than salty. I guess the main things I am eating/drinking consistently would be milk (I probably go through a gallon a week, maybe slightly less but its a lot), frozen waffles with peanut butter, and Dr. Pepper. Maybe I'll actually gain some weight now. As of my 16 week appointment I had lost a pound (which doc was not concerned about) so have been trying to eat more protein.

What I miss:

Sushi lately. We have a work party coming up that is at a Sushi restaurant so I'll just have the cooked things but I do miss raw Salmon Nigiri.

Sleep:

Good recently after I bought the Boppy pregnancy pillow. It is much better for me than the Snoogle as it is not as thick and comes apart in 3 pieces so I can adjust it how I like best. Still having back pain though if I sleep on my back so I have to be careful of that and standing for too long.


What I'm looking forward to:

Finding out the gender!

Symptoms: Really nothing to speak of. I will remain grateful and hope it continues!

Dub's moments: Around week 14 he was into researching baby monitors and informed me that we will need a new wireless router because with certain wireless baby monitors the signal can be disrupted or not strong enough if your router is not up to speed. He was very concerned about this and I loved it!
