15-16 Weeks

How Far Along: 15-16 weeks

Maternity clothes: Yes

Ring: On

Stretch marks: no

Sleep: I wake up several times a night to go to the bathroom. While in California the 3:00 in the morning flutters stopped, thank goodness!

Best moment of this week: Getting to see my family. I was 15 weeks when I went to California. It was fun seeing everyone and getting all the belly touches. In week 16 I went to Montana and got to see my brother Chad's family. Annabelle had me play Dr. and had to check to make sure my baby was okay and kept asking "when is the baby to come out?" She really wanted to play with the baby. I also loved watching Richard play with Annabelle and him giving her piggy back rides and horsie rides. She loved it because he is tall. He is going to make a great dad!

Thankful for: Family. It was a blessing to be able to see everyone and spend time with them. I'm thankful for my husband for letting me go, while he stayed in cold Idaho.

Missing anything: Sleeping on my stomach.

Movement: Yes, I feel flutters quite often. Richard's voice is the only thing that calms him/her down. It's cool that they already know daddy's voice.

Food Cravings: Popcorn!

Anything making you queasy or sick: Smells. Smells in stores, houses ect. Being in the car for a long time.

How You Feel: I get headaches if I don't drink enough water. I don't have the stamina like I use to.

Gender: Richard and I think it's a girl. Our parents think it's a boy, Richard's sister Alani thinks it's a boy, Lily, Nicky, and Fenesa all think boy. Annabelle thinks it's a girl. Who knows?

Labor Signs: No

Exercise and preparation for birth: I've been vacationing! Week 16, I did get back to the gym. I ride the bike, do the elliptical, or walk.

Looking Forward to: Not getting headaches.
