*16* weeks... seriously!?!

At 16 weeks pregnant I am amazed that I am already 16 weeks. Does that make sense? Literally, time is flying by with this pregnancy. With Eli, I found out the very day I hit 16 weeks that he was a boy. I have an appointment Friday and I'm really hoping that my awesome Dr will want to do an ultrasound. If not, we are scheduled on March 6th at a place in Cambridge for a gender scan. Ah, I can't wait! I really would have loved to have done it sooner but since Daniel doesn't get back until the 3rd I haaad to wait for him. But it is great because with Eli he was already deployed when I found out. I had to wait alllll day for him to finally call me so that I could tell him the amazing news.

Anyway, here are the official pregnancy updates:

total weight gain: 0, I lost about 8 during the first couple months so now I'm about an lb. away from where I started. But my stomach definitely has developed a little bump.

size of baby: About the size of an avocado. It's about 4 1/2 inches from crown to rump and weighs about 3 1/2 ounces. It's possible he (or she) has even started growing toenails. TOENAILS. On something SO tiny. And people say there isn't a God? yah....

gender: ???Keep voting!!!

maternity clothes: Nope! And hopefully it will stay that way until I'm in a warmer climate! But I'm sure I will wake up one morning soon and there will a belly that wasn't there the night before.

stretch marks: I am really hoping I don't get any more this time around. Yah, great genes :/

sleep: For some reason I'm getting up a lot during the nights to potty already. Also, CRAZY, CrAzY dreams/nightmares.

movement: I've definitely felt those little flutters. Didn't feel them with E until he actually "kicked."

cravings: Tomatoes and carrots with Thousand Island dressing.

what I miss: Nothing. And I'm not a drinker, but for some reason whenever I'm in a restaurant and I can smell beer my mouth waters uncontrollably. Yuck, right?!?

looking forward to: Finding out what we're growing in here!!!!!!
