(THIS IS A WEEK BEHIND… SORRY)

HOW FAR ALONG?  16 weeks…. only 23-ish left.

SIZE OF OUR SWEET BABY? The size of an avocado! (4.5 inches, 3.5 oz.)

MATERNITY CLOTHES? I got a couple maternity dresses at Old Navy, which are perfect and summery. Much more comfy than my normal dresses.

GENDER: TBD… we find out in 4 weeks!

SLEEP?  Still getting up a couple times at night to pee. I haven’t taken a nap all week, which is a change. I would of course, like one, but they’re not as essential as a couple weeks prior.

FOOD CRAVINGS? (Still) pickles, salty foods, red meat, grits, cold grapefruit, really cold 2% milk, etc…

WHAT I MISS? Sushi. I took a few minutes to gaze upon the sushi bar at Central Market the other day.

SYMPTOMS? Forgetfulness, short of breath sometimes (I’m not just out of shape, people!), hungry :), vivid dreams at night.

BELLY BUTTON?  It’s still an “inny” but it’s stretching and getting bigger.

BEST MOMENT(S) OF THE PAST WEEK?  Sharing my growing belly with my family this past weekend  in Katy/Houston. It’s exciting sharing/talking about it with family. Daria (step mom) took some casual “maternity” photos of me while we were hanging out at their house Saturday (she also shot the one above). It’s still surreal to me at times that I’m going to have a baby (or that there’s a growing baby inside me!)
