Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice- 16 Weeks

It's a girl!

I can't believe that we are going to have a baby girl!  J and I both really thought that we would only get boys and while I would have been thrilled with another boy, it is just so fun to get a girl!  We didn't want to wait until the anatomy ultrasound (usually done at 20 weeks) so we decided to go to an ultrasound place that specializes in gender reveals and 4D ultrasounds at 16 weeks.  My mom was in town so she was able to come too and find out with us which was fun!  The woman told us she was 1000% sure that it is a girl and showed us several pictures confirming that. I loved seeing all of her movements on such a giant screen.  She is a very active little one who apparently has super long legs. :)  

G isn't too sure about this pink stuff :)

Sweet Baby Girl!

I showed my doctor the ultrasound pictures at my 16 week appointment and she agreed that it is almost certainly a girl.  J was shocked and a bit terrified to hear that we are having a girl because as one of four boys he feels like he doesn't know anything about raising a girl.  After the initial shock wore off, he has adjusted to the idea and I know that the instant he sees her, he will be totally wrapped around her tiny fingers :)  J left for a bachelor party in Vegas the day after we found out the gender so my mom and I did some shopping and got plenty of cute ruffles, lace, and cardigans for our sweet little lady!

16 Weeks- just the hint of a bump

Sweet Baby Girl's new clothes!

Here is an update on my pregnancy:

How far along: 16 weeks

Baby is the size of a: avocado

Total Weight Gain: +1 pound

Maternity Clothes: No, I still fit into my jeans but I think that is about to end.  I am definitely popping out a little further than I did at the same point with G.

Sleep: I slept really well except for the nights that G had trouble with teething.

Best Moment of the Week:  finding out that we are having a GIRL!!! And also getting to see her move around on a huge screen.  Apparently she has extremely long legs and she is definitely a mover :)

Miss Anything: A margarita would be nice but nothing too bad.

Movement:  I feel occasional little flutters but not the big movements yet.  It's still fun to feel her, especially since the flutters don't hurt like the later stage kicks :)

Food Cravings: I would really love some good queso!

Anything Making you Queasy or Sick: Nope!

Symptoms:  Nothing major yet.  I have occasional ligament pains and I feel a bit chubby but so far, so good!

Have you started to show yet: There is a hint of a bump but not too much yet.

Looking Forward To: Decorating a girl nursery!
