It's a.....

Wow!  I am BEHIND in blogging!  I guess that's what the start of the school year will do to me! Well, last time we left off, I was anxiously awaiting finding out if we were having a sweet baby boy or girl....

Well, the verdict is in, and we're having a................

We are beyond excited that we will be having another precious little girl!  Tenley is absolutely thrilled that she is getting a little sister too!  I've already started the shopping! :)

Also, in my being so behind, I completely missed the 15 weeks blogging update!  Oops! Well, now that I'm 16 weeks, I'll begin there! 

We're 16 Weeks Pregnant

Our Sweet Girl is the Size of an Avocado!

How Far Along? 16 Weeks & 1 day

Total Weight Gain? 6 pounds

Maternity Clothes? Yes

Sleep? Actually I'm starting to sleep better.  The dreams have chilled out a bit, and I usually only have to make 1 or 2 trips to the bathroom during the night.  So, all in all, things are improving there. 

Cravings? I want a sub sandwich SO bad!  Chris refuses to let me have one though since pregnant women aren't supposed to eat lunch meat! Mean old husband!

Miss Anything?  Energy & Sub Sandwiches!!!

Movement? There have been a couple times that I thought I have felt her, but I'm not quite sure!

Showing? Yeah

Happy or Moody? Still Moody at times & EXTREMELY emotional.  I pretty much cry, or at least well up on a daily basis, and half the time, I can't tell you why...

Best Moment this Week?  Miss Tenley started big girl school-- 3 year old Preschool at Trinity, and we had our 16 week check in today & got to hear our little girl's heartbeat. 

Looking Forward to? Hopefully feeling her move more & actually knowing that it is in fact her moving! :)

Boy or Girl????

Well, tomorrow is the big day!!!  We find out if our precious little baby is a girl or a boy.  I am so excited to find out that I can't stand it!  I SO wish I could be one of those people that could wait until delivery to find out, but I am just too impatient to wait!

So, before we go, here are some old wives tales & some family predictions:

1. Chinese Gender Chart Says: Girl   (Not sure if this is valid with IVF though)
2. Are you eating more (boy) or sick/nauseated (girl)?: Boy
3. Do you crave sweet foods (girl) or salty (boy)? Boy
4. Lots of morning sickness (girl), or not too sick (boy)?: Boy
5. Is the heartbeat high (girl) or low (boy)? Girl (based on 12 week check 160s)
6. Is your skin clear (boy) or do you have breakouts (girl)?: Girl
7. Have you been more clumsy (boy) or graceful (girl)?: Girl
8. Consider your age at conception and the year of conception.  If both are even or both are odd (girl).  If one is even and one is odd (boy): Girl

Guesses:
Mother's Intuition Says: Boy
The husband's "Father's Intuition: says Girl
Tenley (Big Sister) Says: Girl
My Mom Says: Boy
My Dad Says: Girl

14 Weeks

14 Weeks (& 2 days)

My Baby is now the Size of a Lemon

How Far Along? 14 Weeks (& 2 days)

Total Weight Gain? 4 pounds

Maternity Clothes? Yep

Sleep? I'm doing okay. Still having weird dreams that make me feel like I didn't get any sleep.  And, the fact that school is starting and my mind is going a million miles a minute doesn't help with the sleep factor. 

Cravings? French Fries....

Miss Anything? Just having energy & feeling rested

Movement? Nope.  I'm anxiously awaiting that moment though!!!

Showing? More and more each day!

Belly Button In/Out? In

Happy or Moody? Still moody.  

Best Moment of this Week? Enjoying my last couple days of summer with my sweet girl. 

Pregnancy Symptoms? Well, I got sick this morning, but mainly it's just been the exhaustion and the headaches---every day!

Looking Forward to? Tomorrow, as long as our sweet baby cooperates, we should find out if we're having a little boy or a little girl! :)
