Bumpdates: Baby 2: Week 16

You get two pictures this week, cause the baby bump looks way different depending on what angle you get to the mirror!

How Far Along:  
16 Weeks

Size of baby:
An Avocado 

Total Weight Gain:
up 5 lbs from the 7 that I lost for a total gain of -2lbs, told you that eating every 2 hours was going to catch up!

Stretch Marks: 

Nothing that wasn't Addison induced

Maternity Clothes:
 I still don't have to wear them but they are definitely reaching the point where they are more comfortable than my regular jeans. I like my shirts to be tight fitting when I'm pregnant, I don't know why but loose an billowy just make me feel more huge so I will continue to rock my normal shirts until my belly can't be fully covered or I fear that I am stretching them out.   I will be sure to be rocking the Maternity pants within a few weeks! 

Gender:
Dunno yet

Movement:
positive that I'm feeling little kicks and jabs the past few days 

Sleep:
So sleepy.

What I miss:
not feeling 'normal', always something with this pregnancy!

Food Cravings:   

nothing in particular, but been on a subway kick, cold lunch meat & pregnancy rules be damned. I'm eating my sandwich!   

Food Aversions: 
Getting a ton better, not much that I can't eat now, just sometimes I can't eat very much of it before I decide I don't want it.  (ie. coffee which I want to drink oh so badly, I can barely drink a whole cup!)

Symptoms:
body aches (I blame a tough work week on that), some serious abdomen pain randomly, a little nausea but huge improvements this week, sleepy.

Best Moment This Week:

Kicks and jabs from baby Frankenstein

What I’m looking forward to:  

Appointment next week & scheduling my ultrasound so we can start playing the name game.

 Addison:
Still insistent on a baby brother like her friend Audrina!

Bumpdates: Baby 2: Week 15

How Far Along:  
15 weeks

Size of baby:
A Navel Orange

Total Weight Gain:
Down 7lbs, I'm fairly certain that this cannot continue.  Especially since I've been making myself eat every 2 hours to ward off the sick the past 3 days.

Stretch Marks: 

Nothing that wasn't Addison induced

Maternity Clothes:
 I wear scrubs to work so I won't have to wear maternity clothes for a while if I don't want to, I can still wear my normal clothes for the time being so long as being insanely comfortable isn't my top priority.  Otherwise I'm not ashamed to wear the maternity stuff even if I don't technically HAVE to :)

Gender:
Dunno yet

Movement:
I may be feeling the beginnings of pokes and jabs, so hard to tell cause it hasn't happened a lot yet.  

Sleep:
Still pretty wore out. Need more uninterrupted sleep.

What I miss:
Not feeling nauseous every day, hello 15 weeks time to get over this shit.

Food Cravings:   

everything, I'm hungry!

Food Aversions: 
still improving here, I wish I could drink and entire coffee, still only able to drink about 1/2 a cup before my stomach says noway Jose.  I want all the pumpkin!

Symptoms:
Tired, nausea, the need to eat things the second I think about how delicious they sound :) 

Best Moment This Week:

Feeling what I think is baby movement

What I’m looking forward to:  

Knowing what sex this baby is so we can start talking names.  Make it seem more real.

 Addison:
Nothing new on the big sister front this week, she's still in the not quite getting it stage where she can tell me that there is a baby in my belly but I don't think she knows what it means yet.  

Bumpdates: Baby 2: Week 14

This is my woke up at 4am for work-too lazy/don't care for make-up or hair do's-worked 10 hours and just got home-let me go to sleep its 8pm already face.  
How Far Along:  
14 weeks

Size of baby:
A lemon

Total Weight Gain:
Down 6lbs, though as I start to feel better I have a feeling that will QUICKLY change.

Stretch Marks: 

Nothing that wasn't Addison induced

Maternity Clothes:
 I busted out some maternity capris to wear to the beach since I didn't feel like wearing a belt to bend over and take pictures all morning at a photo session, I forget how comfy maternity pants are!  Not having to wear them yet but I'm sure happy that I have maternity dress pants for this Saturdays wedding that I will be shooting cause my 'normal' dress pants would without a doubt not be comfortable all day, if they even zipped up!  Belly is on the move.

Gender:
Dunno yet

Movement:
nothing yet

Sleep:
Could I have some more please? 

What I miss:
not being BEAT at the end of the day...though I'm pretty sure I felt like that even before I was pregnant!

Food Cravings:   

doughnuts, bagels loaded with cream cheese, actually any dairy products, cereal (like I could eat it for every meal)  Weird how much my cravings change this time instead of wanting the same thing all the time.  I just get cravings for food that I hear someone else talk about and I need to eat it NOW :) 

Food Aversions: 
not as bad this week, able to eat more normally.  Yay.

Symptoms:
less nausea the last two days (as I type that this baby is preparing to stab me in some nausea causing organ I am sure of it) , hungry a lot more, what I assume is allergies like whoa, sneezing like crazy.  

Best Moment This Week:

hearing the heartbeat for the first time, finally some PROOF that there is a baby in there. 173 BPM 

What I’m looking forward to:  

anatomy scan ultrasound, so far away still.

 Addison:
Still ready for a "Puddin'" or "Little Cow"
