•How big is baby?: Around 6 inches....and a half pound! About the size of a large Mango!

•Maternity clothes?: Yep!

•Stretch marks?: Yes. And they are still angry looking. And yes I use cream, but the stretch marks laugh at my cream I think.

•Sleep?: Eh! Some nights I get a really great night of sleep and others I think I am up at least 10 times!

•Best moment this week?: My doctors appointment last friday hearing that beautiful lub-dub on the doppler!

•Movement?: Still flutters and what I call "whooshes" Still waiting for that big kick!

•Food cravings?: No real cravings to speak of, just hungry All. The. Time.


•Labor signs?: Nope!

•Belly button in or out?: Innie. However it seems as though it is getting more and more shallow...hmmmm


•What I miss: Being able to walk to the mailbox without feeling winded...for real.

•Milestone: I feel like our milestone this week is getting our birth plan firmed up. It feels good to have a better idea on what our plans are!

Bad Blogger!

Ooops! I dissapeared! But now I am back and we are on to our weekly-ish quiz...


How far along?: 16 Weeks 1 day

•How big is baby?: Jelly is the size of an ONION! About 5 inches long and around  5oz...grow baby grow!

•Maternity clothes?: Yes...and I dont see that changing anytime soon.


•Stretch marks?: Blegh. Yes. Purple ones. Yippee.

•Sleep?: Welllll, I was sleeping much better, then I got this horrible cold/infection that is causing me to not be able to breathe. However on the bright side, my babe will have all sorts of immunities built up if I keep getting sick! ;)


•Best moment this week?: Finding out we will be able to avoid daycare all together!!!! YESSSSSS!!!!! (I love my father in law!)



•Movement?: Ummm, well I get little quivers that I am pretty sure is baby, but I only feel them every once in a while. I am SO looking forward to feeling little (or big) kicks, and especially when Dave will be able to feel it.


•Food cravings?: I really havent had many lately, which is probably due to this cold and my lack of appetite!


•Labor signs?: None, thank goodness!



•Belly button in or out?: Innie, I am hoping it wont pop, maybe just smooth out and stay flat?


•What I miss: Really...nothing. I am starting to just really be able to enjoy being pregnant. I love knowing I am growing a little person :)



•What I'm looking forward to: Appointment next week, then the gender scan the following week...yay!!!
