16 Weeks

Baby Size: An Avocado 

Weight: ?? I feel pretty large this week, so I made the decision not to weigh myself.

Sleep: I have been sleeping fine.

Clothes: I am still in my regular clothes, but I pretty much have to wear my belly band all the time.

Cravings: No cravings this week

Aversions: Ground beef

Symptoms: I still have been having some crazy dreams, and heart burn

Movement: I am pretty sure I have been feeling her move this week. It kind of feels like a gas bubble, but is definitely different than actually having gas. lol.

What I'm looking forward to: Putting the nursery together. 

What I miss: Having my clothes fit right.

Gender: It's a girl!

What's been happening: We found out we are having a girl! We have started to research some of the things that we want to get for her. Michael has asked to pick out her car seat and stroller. :) I have been researching what kind of cloth diapers we want to use...this is kind of an overwhelming task...there are so many to choose from. I think that I may have finally narrowed it down. 

First Glimpse Ultrasound

On Friday, we went downtown to have an ultrasound in hopes to find out if we are having a girl or a boy! There is this really cool company, called First Glimpse, that will do an ultrasound to specifically check the gender. They also do 3D ultrasounds further along in pregnancy. So, after about 30 minutes of fighting crossed legs, we found out we are having a....

..... Girl!!!

I have a video of the ultrasound, but I can't figure out how to get it on here. I will have to have Michael help me put it up later. We got a ton of ultrasound pictures...these are some of my favorites.

It's a girl!

Her little hand

We are excited to start planning for out little girl's arrival! She apparently is a very mellow baby, and we are hoping she stays like that when she comes out!

On Friday we hopefully will find out the gender of this little one! Our friends told us about this ultrasound place (First Glimpse) downtown where we can go and find out. We didn't want to wait another 6 weeks to find out if we can do it now. We are pretty excited!
