16 weeks


Today is our anniversary.  Here we were 6 years ago today; what a wonderful day that was!
March 4, 2006
Baby bump status:  I’m looking a little thick, particularly at home when I’m in my comfy clothes.  Here’s the 4-month bump pic.
16 weeks
 Baby is the size of:  An avocado.
Total weight gain:  7.4 pounds.  Wow, the cruise really jump-started my weight gain!
Maternity clothes:  It’s difficult shopping for in-between shirt sizes.  I’m looking forward to getting a real bump so that I’ll fit into maternity shirts.
Days until due date:  168
Symptoms:  Everything I read says that my energy should miraculously return during the 2nd trimester.  I’m still waiting on that.  I desperately need it to come back because I really want to finish all of my doctoral work before Baby D comes.  Right now, it takes all of my energy just to make it through work for almost a full day.
My back has been killing me this week.  I can’t imagine what it will be like when I grow even bigger. 
Cravings:  Cupcakes have been my good friend this week.
Gender prediction:  Himal pats my tummy and says, “Hey, little buddy” and refers to Baby D as “he,” so I think he agrees with most people that it’s a boy.
Looking forward to:  Hearing baby’s heartbeat at our appointment tomorrow and then making the next appointment when we’ll find out the gender.  Yay  yay yay!
