16 weeks baby 2.0

well. 4 months along now.  it seems like i am getting some more energy back and the nausea is almost gone.  that in itself is huge.  my belly is looking less like a little extra pudge around the middle and more like a pregnant baby belly.  this past week has been busy, of course, with school.  yesterday was my last day of classes and today was my first exam.  i just finished and submitted a paper and then over the weekend i will study for my last exam on tuesday.  then i'll be DONE!  i'm sooooooooooo excited, so ready!  we were supposed to go for our anatomy scan this week but they had to reschedule it because i have to actually wait until i'm 20 weeks.  so, we have 4 more weeks to go.  bummer.  this post won't be very excited because nothing besides studying and school work has been going on, so i'll just get right down to the weekly update:


How far along: 16 weeks
Size of baby:  about the size of an avocado, 4-5 inches long, can probably hear my voice now, making facial expressions and eye movements, muscles are getting stronger

Total weight gain/loss: if my scale is to be believed, and sometimes it is waaaay off, i have gained about 3-4 lbs, which means i gained a couple lbs since i've recovered from being sick
Maternity clothes: mix of maternity and regular clothes
Movement:  i think so, i have only felt this little sweet pea a few times and it hasn't been very strong or consistent, so hopefully everything is ok...
Sleep: it's ok, takes me awhile to fall asleep
What I miss: coffee
Cravings: no strong cravings yet
Symptoms: still have a little nausea particularly if i don't eat every hour, headaches, round ligament pain, shortness of breath
Best moment this week: my mother in law has been in town, and she has been extremely helpful, watching her play and interact with z has been so wonderful
