How far along?: 16 weeks, 0 days.
Total weight gain/loss:+2 this week, +5 in total.
Maternity clothes?: Pants, for sure. I've been wearing some maternity shirts this week, but mostly because I'm sick to death of my winter wardrobe & needed to see myself in something different.
Sleep: I jinxed myself last week. I'm back to peeing 84 times a night, and I've added a few pillows into the mix. It's been a rough week. Just like last pregnancy, I haven't been able to lay flat on my back since very early on (8 weeks or so), meaning my poor hips are already taking a beating.
Movement: YES YES YES! Baby Reeder is crazy-active already! It makes me wonder just how early Brooke was moving around in there before I knew that's what I was feeling. This little kiddo is jabbing Mama all day...and I love it :)
Food cravings: I'm eating like it's going out of style. No particular craving, although I do find myself suggesting we go get ice cream quite frequently... (We only went once this week, don't worry.)
Gender: I feel boy this week. Every time I notice something different about this pregnancy from the last one, I think "Does that mean this is a boy?" I realize this is irrational, but this super-active baby has had me thinking boy all week!
New w/pregnancy #2: Throwing up so violently that blood vessels burst in my face...3 times this week.
What I miss: Warm weather. Hurry, spring, hurry!
What I am looking forward to: Hearing that tiny heartbeat again at this week's doctor's appointment.
Best moment this week: Realizing that I was, indeed, feeling this babe moving around. And then feeling him several times a day, every day this week.
Weekly Wisdom: Pregnancy only lasts 40 (or, in my case, 41+) weeks. So all the crappy parts of pregnancy do eventually end. Though this is hard to remember when you spend the morning on the bathroom floor...
Milestones: Feeling baby move is a very big deal for me. A doubter by nature, I worry all the time about my little guy in there, wondering and hoping that all is well. I'm a huge fan of reassurance, so things like doctor's appointments are highly anticipated by me. But now, I have a little friend swimming around in there, bumping into Mommy, to provide that reassurance on a daily basis.
