timeline of the bump.

how far along? 16 weeks
weight gain: 11 lbs. ugh. i know, i know. my body is making a baby. healthy weight gain, healthy baby buuuuttttt, oy! it’s mentally hard to see it! i seriously thought i might have put on an additional 2 pounds but, nope! i almost doubled my weight gain in 4 weeks than what i accumulated in 12 weeks! whoa!
maternity clothes? not yet! so, despite the weight gain, i still {kinda} fit my pants! a little help from a hair tie and i’m all good (see jeans above ; ) ! my kiddie leggings are my staples and my work pants still fit but they are at their wits end. they will definitely not make the 20 week mark!
sleep: it’s still pretty good. i am sleeping through the night without too many bathroom breaks!! my bedtime still hovers around 10 o’clock but i’ve made it later on some nights! i kinda pay the price the next day by getting a bit tired and going to bed earlier than 10!
physical state: feeling good! i have some days that are not so great but i can’t complain! sometimes, after i eat, get a weird metal taste in my mouth {very unpleasant!}. in the past few weeks, i’ve experienced very low pressure and shortness of breath. doing normal things like talking and walking will cause me to be out of breath and a bit dizzy!
miss anything? same ‘ol same ‘ol. scrambled eggs are just not the same as over easy and i really, really miss my bagel and lox. it makes me sad.
baby movement: not yet!
food cravings: everything fruity. i just came back from the grocery store with lime jell-o, sprite zero, capri sun lemonade, berries, sorbet…and i really love kettle potato chips {crunchy}!
bump status: the bump has grown! in the last week and a half, i feel like the bump has doubled!
gender reveal: not yet! i’m still getting a majority of girl votes! hmmmm, are the wives tales true?!
