Bump Report: 16 Weeks

Hello from Kentucky! Ashby and I flew to Kentucky last night to celebrate my Dad's promotion and change of command ceremony.  I'm amazed at how much unpacking they have done since they got here two weeks ago.  The house they now have is the largest they have ever lived in, well worth it after 30 years of service.  It's also located across a parade field, real life cannons included.  As I was writing this post, the cannons started going off, I thought we were under attack.  Slight heart palpatations, no biggie.

Here is the weekly pic...


Sometimes it looks like a bump, and sometimes it looks like I let myself go!

How far along? 16 Weeks

Total weight gain: 3 lbs

Maternity clothes? None yet.  My gracious mom bought me some bella bands that I've been using to hold my pants up.  Dresses are a girls best friend these days.
Stretch marks? None yet. I’ve been using shea butter cream twice a day.

Sleep: Tired, the 10:15 flight here left me super exhaused. I'm still recovering.

Best moment this week: Seeing family and sharing the news with those who don't know yet!

Miss Anything? Still alcohol.  My parents stocked their bar, miniature skinny girl margaritas included.  Breaks my heart  :  (

Food cravings: fruit and bread

Anything making you queasy or sick: I'm adding cream cheese to the list.  I had a bad encounter last Friday.

Gender: Don’t know yet. We find out August 30th! I think it’s a boy!

Labor Signs: No

Symptoms: General bloating.   

Belly Button in or out? In and I hope it stays that way.

Wedding rings on or off? on

Happy or Moody most of the time: Moody : X

Looking forward to: Finding out the gender of the baby and deciding on a name. My birthday and going to Punta Cana.



The baby is also the size of an avacado this week. I like avacados. That's all I have, so I'll end on that awkward note!
