16 Weeks!

Another week down!  Woohoo!  I’m amazed at how quickly time is flying by…. which is funny, because much earlier in this pregnancy I felt like time had come to a standstill.

The past few days have been absolutely fantastic – warm, bright sunny skies… and I’ve gotten most of my energy back (thank goodness!)   I’m glad I was able to get out and enjoy the pseudo-summer weather this past week, because apparently we’re headed back down into the low single digits… maybe even below zero.   Eeeek!

How far along:  16 weeks

Energy:  Almost back to normal, not quite there yet.  Waiting patiently.

Current symptoms:  Feeling great!  This past week my energy has been on the rise and I’ve been feeling like my old self.  Still getting up frequently throughout the night – will I ever get a break?

Sleep:  Still not very comfortable, but I don’t expect that to change much.

Weight gain/loss:  I’ve actually lost 2 pounds since last week; I think most of the weight gain was bloat/water retention and things are just evening out now.

Exercise:  The weather was beautiful this past week, so I nixed the gym and did a lot more walking, about 1.5 hours each day.  No yoga this week.

Next appointment:  April 2^nd with my midwife for a regular prenatal appointment.  Can’t wait to listen to baby’s heartbeat again!

Guess on boy or girl:  I’m still on the fence, but S is still adamant it’s a boy – go figure.  What do you think baby #1 will be?  Don’t forget to take my poll!

Looking forward to:  Feeling baby move/kick for the first time.

What’s happening this week:  Baby K is listening to my voice, growing hair, lashes and eyebrows…and forming taste buds.
