16 Weeks




This week-end was wonderful. We celebrated Devin's birthday with a starch and seafood-filled feast at the Petersens, then I went to see Jess's brother Jonathan's band play. (awesome!) Saturday night we played Phase 10 at the Brooks' (always a good time) and Sunday night I spent at the Thatch's celebrating Jess's b-day, which was super cozy and fun.

In baby news, pretty sure I am feeling her move! (Now I just have a feeling it's a girl...we'll see soon enough :) ) I was sitting in a movie yesterday and felt something like little bubbles popping. It continued all night. I am due to feel movement any day now, which is super exciting! She is the size of an avocado this week!

We have our next OB appointment tomorrow, the last monthly check-up before we have our second ultrasound and find out the sex.

I look back on photos from week 13 and it's fun to see how my belly has changed. It was certainly pooched out before, but now it is taking a clear shape and looking less like a beer gut. :) That bloated stage was the worst! I LOVE showing now. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed with emotion when I catch a glance in the mirror or wake up and feel my tummy. I'm a very excited mama. :)

  2. What fun to see you progress!(I'm going to have to cast my vote for a boy, though.)
    I love sharing your excitement. What could be better?
