Maternity Clothes? Yes and no...can still wear some of my regular pants (with the Bella band), but regular shirts are starting to look awkward! Definitely banking on the tights and long sweaters in the coming months.
Weight Gain? Probably around 10-12 lbs., really don't keep track
Gender? It is a....healthy baby! We went in last week for the half-way there sonogram, and little sibling looks great. We are so blessed! His/her heart rate was at 141 bpm and they were weighing in around 15 ounces. Here are some pics from their first photo shoot :-)
The baby was moving all over the place! Even the sonogram tech was amazed by how he or she was flipping around in there. The placenta is posterior, so I feel lots 'o kicks! And it is THE BEST part of being pregnant for sure!
Precious feet, that are kicking me all hours of the day :-)
Waving "hi" to the camera!
Sleep? Sleeping well, except when Brett is traveling. I am becoming more congested, so out come the nasal strips!
Food Cravings? Still on a salads and Asian food kick. And I want pastries, mainly donuts or cake, several times a week :-)
Movements? Oh yes! Started feeling them at 16 weeks, and they have gotten stronger of course! This is the part I will miss most!
Symptoms? Headaches and heartburn...oh, and allergies. I'm a FUN person some days to be around :-)
Best Moment(s) of the Week? Seeing the baby last week for the sonogram. I was so anxious for the appointment, but with a clear bill at that check-up, I am resting easier now. We are blessed beyond measure!
Another great moment, Jameston felt the baby move. He asks me all the time if the baby is kicking me. Ha! And Blake will see me rest my hand on my tummy to feel kicks, and he rushes over and wants to do the same. I know he really doesn't know what he is feeling for, but it is still endearing!

Bump is out in plain sight!
What I am looking forward to: Soaking up this time as a mommy-of-two! I am anxious about managing three. As we keep saying, it will be even more chaotic, but it will be a happy chaos (most of the time of I hope)!
