Week 16

This has been a relatively uneventful week, as far as the pregnancy is concerned. In the books I have, they all say the 2nd trimester is the best, and while I had serious doubts for a while, I think things have evened out and are going great. I don't have another doctors appointment until Nov. 1, which is when I will schedule the "big" ultrasound.

My appetite has definitely increased. I usually eat breakfast around 6:30am, by 8am I am starving and have to eat...then again at 10, and by noon, I am SO ready for lunch. People in the office keep teasing me that every time they see me, I have food in my mouth. But I was weighed on Friday (had to have blood drawn) and I have still only gained 3 lbs. Not that I am complaining about only having gained 3 lbs, but I'm ready to "pop" and have an obviously pregnant belly.


Garen came home for the weekend. I showed him the stroller I picked out last week and let him choose the color. Now we just have to wait for the 2008 strollers to come out! I'm looking at crib sets already and saving several I find into my favorites. Once we know if it is a boy or a girl I'll let Garen pick.

As of today, I am 16 weeks, 1 day pregnant. The baby is the size of a pomegranate. Below is an updated belly picture. You should be able to see a little bit of progress, but I still think it just looks like I've been drinking too much beer.
