16 Weeks


I can't believe I am 16 weeks already! The pic above does not do my belly justice, I am definitely showing plenty and pretty much in maternity clothes/bella band already!

Time is starting to fly by! I will admit that from about 8-14 weeks, time was moving by way too slowly. I was pretty exhausted all the time and nauseous a lot, especially after eating and even more if the food had the slightest bit of garlic or onions. I still have no desire to eat most foods with garlic or onions, especially Mexican, makes me kinda sick just thinking about it. Overall though, I am feeling so much better.

I keep going back and forth as to what I think we are having. At first I thought it was a boy because I didn't get any symptoms until much later than I did with Katelyn. Then they came on strong, so I thought it must be a girl because they seemed to be the same type of symptoms as before. The strange thing is that as I am looking at baby names, the only names that stand out to me are boy names.

I went to my 16 week appointment this morning and scheduled the 20 week for June 28th - so that's the big day we'll be counting down too. Once we find out boy/girl - I am going to have to be in full force looking for Katelyn a new bed, nursery decorations, etc. etc! I can't wait!

Currently the baby is the size of an avocado and the heartbeat was around 140.
