Happy Easter, everyone! We had brunch with the family and the boys did an Easter egg hunt. Now it’s time for my 16 week bumpdate!
Symptoms: I had a migraine one day, and some mild heartburn a couple of times, but that was about it! Feeling mostly good, to be honest.
Sleep: Pretty good, actually! I took two naps this weekend, which was great. I usually have a hard time falling asleep for naps, but I actually slept during both of these instead of just lying there.
Diet/Cravings: I had French Onion soup three times, if that tells you anything. Also, lots of red Gatorade and some Oreo cheesecake. Yum.
Exercise: I went twice this week: Tuesday after work and Friday morning because I was off work. I did 35 minutes on the elliptical each time. I was definitely moving slowly, but I got it done. I didn’t get to the gym at all last week because I was sick which made it really hard to get back to it this week. I have to try really hard not to miss more work outs because it’s so difficult getting re-motivated.
Good Moments:
- I had my 16 week appointment on Wednesday and it went well. I got to hear the heartbeat which was 147. These appointments are so short though. You wait 20 minutes to see the doctor and then see him for two!
- We aren’t announcing the name until birth, but we actually changed it this week. The middle name has been set in stone, and we thought the first name was too… but nope! The names are actually kind of similar, start with the same letter and end with the same last two… but this one is a little more unique and less common than the original choice.
Bad Moments: Nothing really!
Looking Forward To:
- Hoping to start feeling definite movement soon. Eek! They say with second babies, it can start at 16 weeks, and here we are.
- My best friend’s gender reveal is on Saturday! YAY!!! It’s so cool being pregnant at the same time as your best friend. Our babes will only be a couple of weeks apart… will they be best boy buddies… or will they be future husband and wife? HAHAHA! We have plans, people! PLANS!
Comparisons: Here’s my 16 week bumpdate with Caleb. What do you know… another migraine. Story of my life!
