16 Weeks

Well there's no hiding it anymore...I look pregnant folks. I was waiting for this day to come although I'm a little nervous what is going to happen over the next 24ish weeks. One night after dinner I looked down at my belly and was a little concerned about how tight and large it was. I told Isaiah that I felt like an engorged tick and he comforted me by saying, "Just wait, Baby." I think that same night I was getting ready for bed looking at myself in the mirror. I went back into the living room glowing with excitement about the fact that I'm growing a person! (In fact, I might be growing a penis. How weird is that?!!!!!)

16 more days until we find out what we're having!!!! A friend of mine makes amazing cakes and gave us the idea of a gender revealing party. We will have a get-together on Thursday, June 9 (Consider this your formal invitation. If you are reading this and I know you and you would like to come over that night...COME ON!!). Kathryn will make a cake that is either dyed blue or pink in the middle. At first, Isaiah and I were not even going to know what the baby was until then, but I have to know. Everyone will find out the sex when we cut the cake! Isn't that fun!? I'm excited!

So Here's What's Been Going On....

Our little avacado

  • Morning sickness is gone (Angels singing in the background)
  • I love fruit and vegetable. Even salad which is so NOT me! 
  • My hair finally stopped falling out so much. (I know you probably don't care about that but it is something that I was told would happen. When it wasn't happening, I was freaking out that something was wrong. Logical....No, but who said pregnant women are logical?)
  • My bed has turned into a sea of pillows. Two at my head, one supporting my back, one in between my knees...and Isaiah has to squeeze in there somehow too. 
  • I THINK I have been feeling the baby moving! It's usually at night when I'm sitting on the couch relaxing. I know what gas feels like people and it's not that!

  1. Wish we could come to the party! What a fun idea! You probably have been feeling the baby move! I think I felt Lia start around this time. I enjoyed looking pregnant. Sometimes I felt like people would tell me I didn't just to make me feel better... but after trying for so many months, I was excited to start showing! :) See you & tummy this weekend! Love, Dana
