Week 16

We had our 3rd appointment today. It was with one of the two women in the practice and I hadn't heard great things about her, but my OB was on vacation, so we saw her. I guess it's good to see as many of the doctors in the practice as possible, you never know who will be on-call when baby decides to make his/her grand entrance! The Dr. wasn't as bad as everyone said.

She said my uterus is right on track for size and then we heard the beautiful heartbeats again - again we could hear when the baby moved... which he/she did twice in the 10 seconds we listened to the heart beating away :-)

We didn't have to wait long this month so we were out within 20 minutes, so we went off to a local store because we wanted something sweet - a big chocolate bakery muffin was calling my name... Good thing Chip's metabolism is so fast, otherwise he'd start to get a "muffin top" the size of the cranberry muffin he ate. So nice of him to indulge too, after all, no one likes to eat alone.

16 week questionnaire:
How far along? 16 weeks today!
Total weight gain/loss: Down 1 pounds - gained 1lb last week - here we go...
Maternity clothes? Sometimes. Some of my work pants fit comfortably still. Dana sent me a 30% off link to Old Navy / Gap online, and they have some cute stuff, so I'm going to search their sale pages tonight!
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: Crappy - I want to sleep on my belly and back and I can't! Plus - I hate the daylight savings change!
Best moment this week: I learned something very exciting last night, but I can't share yet, some of you readers' surprise would be spoiled...
Movement: YESSSSS. Little bubbles still!
Food cravings: Sweets of any kind.
