Marination Time: 16 Weeks

Size of baby: Little Bean is the size of an avocado.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: 9 pounds. I look pregnant, y’all! (Some of my kind friends still dispute this fact…but it was perfect timing to tell work the news today since I’m beginning to look less thicker all over and more round in the belly!)

Maternity Clothes: Maternity jeans and pants. Tops and dresses are regular, but tops are becoming a little tight.

Sex: Four weeks until we know! We did not get another sneak peek yesterday at our 16 week appointment.

Movement: Flutters. It is fun and I will be glad when the movements are stronger and more noticeable.

Belly button watch: Innie.

Sleep: I sleep fine, just not enough!

What I miss: Having a cocktail (or three) at the end of a hard workweek. This week kicked my tail! Also, we’ve been trying to go out more to dinner lately to places on our bucket list. Being stuck with soda water and lime at the bars makes me feel lame. I’ve determined to compensate with a few fab new clothing items I found on sale this past week. I will at least be stylish with my soda water in hand at all the hotspots! 🙂

Cravings: Carbs. Not sweets, but carbs like I’m readying myself for an athletic event! Cheese, always and forever.

Symptoms: Moving a little slower up the stairs and in workouts but pushing myself to keep active!

Best Moment this week: Coming out at work. Phew!
