16 weeks

I can't believe I'm already 16 weeks along.  Crazy.  It's flying by!  I still don't have much of a bump to show off yet, but I have a feeling it's just going to pop out one week and BAM!, I'm going to finally look prego.  It's nice to be past the morning sickness part of pregnancy and into the much easier second trimester.  I feel really lucky not to have ever really gotten sick (only felt really nauseous).  A friend told me that means I'm going to be having a boy.  We shall see...about one more month until we find out!  I can't wait!
I think the most exciting thing that Baby B was able to start doing this week was being able to finally hear us!  It actually made me start to cry when I read that. (These pregnancy hormones are definitely making me cry easier these days)  But really, how amazing is it that our baby can hear our voices already?!?  Some of the first things Baby B is going to start hearing is us all celebrating Christmas and spending time with so many of our favorite people.  


How far along? 16 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: not really sure, I'll find out on Wednesday
Maternity clothes? still just using the ole' ponytail holder on the unbuttoned jeans 
with the BeBand.  I would much rather wear leggings or sweatpants all day though.
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: No good as of the last couple of weeks.  In addition to waking up at least once a night to go to the bathroom, my back and neck are so sore when I wake up.  Looks like I need to get off my always-exhausted booty and start exercising more.  :\
Best moment this week: Knowing that Baby B can hear us!
Miss Anything? Just a good night's sleep.
Movement: Nothing yet.  Sometimes I think I feel a little something, but I think it's just in my head.  I'm clearly really looking forward to feeling some movements.
Food cravings: Nothing in particular. 
Anything making you queasy or sick: Salad with dark lettuce still grosses me out.  And chicken by itself doesn't ever look to appetizing.
Have you started to show yet: barely...just the little awkward pooch
Gender prediction: Ever since our last ultrasound, I have had this feeling it's a boy.
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!
Looking forward to: Feeling some kicks and Stephen being able to feel them too!
