16 weeks update

How Far Along: 16 weeks

How big is our little bean: size of an avocado

Total Weight Gain: 2+ kg.  I haven’t weighed myself in a while but have put on 4″ around the belly and my belly is definitely rounding out.

Maternity Clothes: I am putting away my work clothes.  They are way too tight now.

Sleep: I think I am needing less and less sleep.  Is that possible?  Well — only 8 hours instead of 9.

Other Symptoms: Occasional pain around my waist, wondering if it is our little one jumping up and around.

Best Moment this Week: Knowing our second anatomy scan confirms the same Down syndrome risk as the first one.

Movement: Maybe but not sure.  I hope we’ll see/feel some soon.

Food Cravings: Still always hungry now.  Upped the fruit to go with my daily iron pills to help absorption. 

What are You Looking Forward to this Week:  hopefully some kicking or punching or elbowing or head-butting from the little one.
