16 Weeks!

How far along? 16 weeks (starting the 17th!)

Total Weight Gain: Not sure because I don't own a scale. I will know at my next doctor's appointment in a few weeks.

Symptoms: Cramping here and there but nothing like I experienced with Harry

Stretch Marks: none....yet.

Sleep: Great!

Highlight This Week: Hubby cleaning the bathroom! I know. It was quite a surprise and a very awesome one at that! I have also finally set up a temporary kitchen so I can continue to cook and clean without going insane. And finally, sweet little Harry successfully transitioned back to his crib for all naps and night time! Hurray! He has been sleeping with us since he was 5 months old but we decided to transition him back to his crib before Jack gets here to make things easier. Harry is also almost completely weaned. The only time I allow him to nurse (which isn't nursing at all it's just pacifying) is if he wakes up at night from teething pains. I am officially no longer making milk and Harry has learned that all of his liquids come from his training cups. So yay Harry!

Movement: Finally I have felt Jack without needing to have my hand on my belly. I was rocking Harry to sleep and singing a lullaby and I felt Jack kick twice! He must have liked the song :D

Cravings: I am still craving sweets time to time but not as bad as last time, and I am loving strawberries. I am having some pretty strong food aversions to broccoli and tofu. I think this might be because I have been eating these foods a lot recently and I might just be sick of them! But broccoli is SO good for you and it's my husbands favorite vegetable so it's really a shame I am having a hard time getting it down! 

What I Miss: My colored skinny jeans! I have brightly colored skinny jeans that I just purchased not that long ago and they officially are too tight because of my growing belly and booty. Arg!

What am I looking forward to: Finishing our kitchen! This weekend we are actually going to take up the rest of the tile (hallelujah!) and drill a ditch in our foundation so we can run electricity to our new island. Very exciting.

Milestones: Began exercising! I have tried Pilates and our treadmill but it is just too hard with Harry so now I speed walk for a mile or two every morning with Harry happily kicking his legs in his stroller. 

How is Daddy? Stressed a little about the kitchen but excited about my belly. :D

How is Harry? Growing like a weed! And learning SO much. He loves playing peek-a-boo under blankets or any fabric, loves driving the car carts at the grocery store, loves waving hello and goodbye to everyone who waves, LOVES putting things together with his tinker toy set, has finally learned that crayons are for coloring and not eating or banging (whew), loves picking out books from his book hammocks, annnnd I could go on and on but I will save it for Harry's page. :D
