I swear time is seriously FLYING by. Not only is the pregnancy going on by, but time in general. Daryl's fist official tax season is coming to an end and Camryn has been in preschool for THREE months?! CRAZY TRAIN. She is learning so much... bittersweet <3
So this week, I have to talk about the crazy ligament pain. I know I mentioned it last week, but it is the most notable thing going on. It's like a bad pulled muscle that aches if you're sitting the wrong way. Hurts. ALOT. I worked night shift on Tuesday night and wasn't feeling too hot... just kind of tired and sore. By the morning, my belly was aching and sore and I could tell a long day of sleep and rest was in order. I have been getting those annoying comments now.. "WOW! Your belly is popping on out there, huh?" and "Wait, how far along are you...?" I'm not quite as sweet about it as I was my first pregnancy... maybe because I am older and just tell it like it is... but I come back with "Yeah, I am pregnant so my belly'g big... what's your excuse?" People think they can shut off their mouth filter when a pregnant woman comes around, but I wouldn't recommend that around me these days. HaHa. I think the baby was growing lots this week because I felt a little more sleepy than normal, so that is a good thing!!
We had our 16wk appt on Thursday and got to hear that sweet little heartbeat again-- HR 155. Took the doctor about 8sec to find it and I began to get a little freaked out! But when she did... oh the sweetness <3 Now my BP was a different story... I'm not sure what's going on but when they first take it, it's SOOOO HIGH. I told the new nurse to wait but she insisted, and it was 165/91. OUCH. After a few minutes, it was down to 139/85. So, my doctor was ok with that but insisted we do blood pressures at home every few days to keep a log, so we are doing that now. We also made the appt for our anatomy scan/ official gender reveal appt and that is APRIL 30. So, we will announce that shortly after!! Afterwards, we picked up our CamCam and did our usual "after doctor appointment" family dinner and ice cram!!

**How far along? 16.5 weeks
**Total weight gain/loss: Just one pound this week! Right on track.
**How Big is Baby?: Avocado!!
**Maternity clothes? Yes yes yes. Regular pants sort of 'cut off' the belly and make it look 'muffin-top'-ish. Not so cute... Need to invest in some regular lounge pants, maternity style now!!
**Stretch marks? I don't even know... Have the ones from Camryn so who knows lol
**Sleep: Ehhh... depends on the night. Poor Camryn has bad allergies right now so she isn't sleeping well. I just look at it as it won't be such a shock to our systems when baby arrives!! HaHa.
**Best moment this week: Hearing the heartbeat again!! And finding out that all the NT testing was normal, so no down's syndrome or trisomy. Great news!! <3
**Movement: Here and there... I notice more movements when I eat watermelon. Cannot wait for ther bigger, defined movements!!
**Food cravings: Ice water and fruit... Normal for me, though. COLD stuff.
**Gender: Hmmmmmmmm..... hahaha
**Labor Signs: Nope
**Belly Button in or out? In
