Bump Update - 16 Weeks

 
How far along? 16 weeks!
Baby Size: Avocado - 4.6 inches and 3.5 oz.
Total weight gain: 6lb range. 
Maternity clothes? I officially purchased the belly band and it's amazing!
Stretch marks?  I think I might  have been allergic to the belly oil because my stomach was getting really itchy, so I switched over to the Palmer's Cocoa Butter and that seems to be working much better. 
Sleep: Still sleeping through the night, with one potty break.   
Best moment this week: Hearing our little baby's heartbeat yesterday!  It's such an amazing feeling...can't even describe it. 
Miss Anything? Now that it's getting colder, once in a blue moon I'd have a cup of coffee at work, especially flavored coffee like southern pecan.  Missing that this week as it's getting ready to snow!  
Movement: Either I'm going CRAZY, or I'm starting to feel some movement.  This last weekend we went to the Carrie Underwood concert (I'll post about it later this week!) and once the music got really loud it felt like little bubbles in my belly.  Then this morning I felt it pretty consistently.  Yay!! 
Food cravings:  Back on potatoes.  Wedge, seasoned french fries sound delish! 
Anything making you queasy or sick: If I get super hungry then I start feeling pretty nauseous and sick.  So I just have to be aware. 
Gender: I'm still thinking GIRL.  I told Geoff I'd be more surprised if it's a boy than a girl and we completed the baby pool at my work today, so our guesses are officially set in stone!

 
Symptoms:  Still a little crampy, but really nothing more than that.    
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Mood: My poor husband...I'll be totally fine one second and then totally overreact to something that's so ridiculous.  Then a few minutes later, I realize how crazy it is and I have to apologize.    
Looking forward to:  Really putting a finger on the baby's movement and we're officially counting down the days until we're able to see the baby in our 20 week ultrasound and find out if we'll be having a prince or princess.
