16 weeks!

16 weeks!!

this pregnancy is a breeeeeeze compared to my first!

not sure if it's because i'm back home, or the weather is better,

or just because i know what to expect.

but i've only had one preggo meltdown (aka: irrational crying)

whereas with ava... i was a complete and utter mess. the whole time.

needless to say, i'm not even halfway through this one. so i should probably be knocking on wood. but i think it's going to be great. and i'm so excited!

weeee get to find out what we're having THIS saturday!!

andrew has prepared himself for another girl.

i think we both know it's coming.

if not, i will be pleasantly surprised...

and if so, i will be excited to say... I TOLD YA SO! :)

How far along? 16wks, 6days
Total weight gain/loss: i've lost 4 pounds since i got preggo.. dont ask me how. i couldnt lose the weight before to save my life!
Maternity clothes? yes, and yoga pants, gym shorts. i have ONE pair of jeans that still fit. but not after i eat a meal. those suckers come unbuttoned.

Stretch marks? nope.
Sleep: slept so hard last night, i woke up with a strained back. so that's fun. but cant complain about a good nights rest!
Best moment this week: we went to go see Hotel Transylvania. SO CUTE! i think we might go see it again this weekend. :) Also, ava got her first taste of classic disney movies. we watched Lady and the Tramp, Alice and Wonderland, and Hercules. she's in love! (and singing "i can go the distance" in her room right now as she plays dress up.. sweetest moments).
Miss Anything? not a thing. in fact, i read a blog the other day about someone's drinking night and how they couldnt remember anything and i said out loud TO myself "i do not miss that... at all". i dont mind being around the drinkers, i'm the official DD for the next 5 months! probably longer.

Movement: do braxton hicks count? i got my first one the other night! i didnt think they came this early, but there it was. Hard ball of muscle contracting. makes me exciteddd!

Food cravings: MEXICAN!!! STILL! haha. i was going to make enchiladas tonight, but i dont think i'll make it to the grocery store walking like a hunchback with this back strain. but i think we may do mexi this weekend.

Anything making you queasy or sick: DEER MEAT!!! which makes me so so sooooo sad. my husband didnt hunt at all last year (we just got a boat, so fishing took over), so i was REALLY excited that he was back at it this year. i have an AMAZEBALLS venison lasagna recipe, tastes like stouffers! but he brought some home that he got from his buddy at work, and while he cooked it, i got more and more nauseous. so i was gagging and tearing up at the same time because i was so sad that i wouldnt get to eat it.

Have you started to show yet: yep, got a little bun in there.

Gender prediction: still think girl!

Labor Signs: No

Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!

Weekly Wisdom: i have nothing.

Looking forward to: SATURDAY!!! gender reveal. ava's going to see her sibling for the first time at the ultrasound. i'm excited to see how she reacts. :)

HAVE AN AMAAAAAZING WEEKEND!!
