How many weeks pregnant?
16 weeks
Which trimester are you in?
Baby’s size?
Baby is approx 4-5inches, 3-5oz, size of an avocado
Have you started to show yet?
Yes, I am now showing to strangers or people I don't even know! As I have received many "congratulations" and I literally have to pause and remember its not because I just got married! Haha! My "upper belly" is firm and feels like it "popped" but my lower belly is still squishy 😝 My doc says around 20 weeks everything becomes more firm because of the uterus moving up. (so cool what the body can do!)

What are some of your pregnancy symptoms?
Hmm... Still peeing often but not as urgently, bleeding gums (very common in 2nd trimester), heartburn (tums work well)...

Any cravings?
Veggie stix or veggie chips (basically potato chips but crispier)! Veggie trays, carrots especially with ranch. CHEESE! Lots of cheese & crackers!

Sleep?
Starting to have some trouble getting comfortable but don't want to complain much because at this point I am still allowed to sleep on my back

Highlight of the week?
Fun family adventure to Angel Island with our nephews! Also it is nice that I am actually showing outwardly more than just feeling pregnant.

Yes and no. Still having trouble finding things that fit properly. However thankful for stretchy maxi skirts!
Have any stretch marks?
Not that I can see yet, but started rubbing it down with coco butter!

Feel any kicks? (Plan to describe the moment I feel!)
Not yet, but today at my doctor's appt the doctor was listening to the heart rate with the fetal monitor and the baby kept "running away" and then while we were listening to the heartbeat, all the sudden was a loud noise and the doctor said "did you feel that kick"? I didn't, but she reassured me I will soon enough as the baby is doing summersaults! Can't wait!
