Too bad we really didn't get to spend much time together for our first anniversary since we both had to work and all. Ah, the joys of being an adult! My parents were sweet enough to make us dinner and we cut our year old cake (which by the way is not a good idea if you're prego and sensitive to every taste and smell). We may not have been able to get away this past weekend but we are going on a much needed mini-vacay next weekend! I pretty much can't wait, especially after Jordon booked the LAST room at the bed and breakfast we're staying at...I'm so ready to be spoiled for a couple of days!
We did have a late anniversary present; we had a 16 week check-up yesterday afternoon. We met Dr. Linfert and she "tried" to listen to McNugget's heartbeat, but he/she was so stinkin' squirmy that she had to keep chasing him/her to hear it! AND while she was chasing him/her and pressing on my belly, I felt what I'm positive was baby movement!! It felt just like little tiny butterflies moving. :) I was told I should start to feel a little movement now and I've been so anxious that I won't know what it feels like and miss it, but now I know. My mom got to go and hear the heartbeat and she's planning on going to next appointment which is going to be the "big one" when they do the anatomy scan and we find out boy or girl! Woohoo! Otherwise, morning sickness has almost completely become a thing of the past (knock on wood) and I only feel sick around 4am when I'm working night shift (go figure). Dr. Linfert said everything looks completely normal and we're healthy, so I guess we'll just try to keep up the good work and keep growing and growing! Oh, and vote for boy or girl....we're gonna see how many people get it right next month!
How far along? 16 weeks, 1 day
Total weight gain/loss: Finally back to my pre-prego weight!!
Maternity clothes? Bought some, but I have absolutely no reason to wear them right now
Stretch marks? none and hopefully it'll stay this way...I've been using cocoa butter already to prevent anything from happening
Sleep: Well, depends on if I'm off night shift or not, but I slept all night from 11pm and woke up at 4am to turn over...ahhh, sleep, where have you been?!
Best moment this week: Hearing McNugget's itty bitty heartbeat and feeling the first little bit of "kicking" from what the doctor calls a "squirmy little one"
Movement: See above...and I'm absolutely sure it wasn't just gas!
Cravings: I don't know if you'd call it cravings... I just have to have a taste for something before I'll eat it.
Gender: 4 more weeks until we find out and it's KILLING ME!!!
Labor Signs: None, thankfully...we got lots more baking in the oven before that needs to happen
Belly Button in or out? In
What I miss: Not being so sensitive to smell and being able to brush my teeth without gagging!
What I am looking forward to: Hopefully feeling more movement and the next ultrasound on June 28th
Weekly Wisdom: Too much to put on here!
Milestones: Movement and the heart rate is lowering...could this mean we have a boy??
