All About Momma

How far along? 16 Weeks

Total weight gain: ~5 pounds.

Maternity clothes? Nope, although I don't have to wear a belt with most of my pants anymore

Stretch marks? No

Sleep: Pretty good, I've figured out a good way to get more comfy using an extra pillow.

Best moment this week: Going to the temple with my family. We realized that, including the baby, we had four generations of our family there together! 

Miss Anything? Nope!

Movement: Not yet, although I should start feeling something within the next couple weeks!

Food cravings: Sweet stuff. Not necessarily candy, but fresh fruit, raspberry sherbet, and our home-bottled apricots. The other night at work I had my first "weird" craving... ketchup. haha!

Anything making you queasy or sick: I haven't noticed any lately!

Labor signs: no

Symptoms: headaches, a stretching feeling throughout my tummy now and then.

Belly button in or out? In!

Wedding ring on or off? On :)

Happy or moody most of the time: Mostly happy.. but I have my grumpy moments.

Looking forward to: This little one getting lots bigger soon, and looking like I'm actually pregnant instead of like I just ate a big lunch. Oh! And my birthday is this week! We're going to Mesquite for an all-you-can-eat seafood buffet... mmm, crab legs!! :D
