16w update

How far along? 16 weeks!!!

Total weight gain
: lost 1; down 6 for pregnancy

Maternity clothes?
officially, yes.  I tried to wear a pair of non-maternity pants that got me well past 22w last time, and I could only keep them buttoned for about 30 seconds.

Sleep:
Getting a little better.  I've still been having strange dreams.  I've dreamt about two ex boyfriends in the last week.  It's bizarre.

Best moment this week:
having so many people comment on how cue my bump is getting.

Movement
: Yep.  Nothing super consistent, but it is definitely there, and definitely the baby.  I think in the future, I'll feel comfortable saying that I felt the baby move between 15-16w.

Gender
: I'm still leaning towards thinking that it is a girl, just because of the lack of boy seen at last weeks ultrasound, not to mention the consistent heartrate in the 150s (151 today) and the fact that this baby is measuring so big -- in the 80th pecentile, as opposed to the boys' single digits.

Labor Signs
: Nope.

Belly Button in or out
? In.

What I miss
: More energy.

What I am looking forward to:
Another ultrasound in one week, and then the big reveal to our family the next!!!

Weekly Wisdom:
Try not to put more than 12 hours between my BP med dosages.

Milestones
: Consistently GOOD blood pressure reading -- 125/82 today!!!!
