baby #4||week 16




Weight gain/loss: 96.0lbs I know this isn't up from last week and that is because I got a stomach bug from my boys the day of my last appointment. I spent the rest of the week trying to gain back the 3lbs I lost. 

Sleep: Still going great, but I am waking up once or twice a night to go to the bathroom. 

Diet/Cravings/Aversions: Craving avocado still, peanut butter, chocolate, fries, a lot of unhealthy food.  Since my doctors appointment last week, I have been really trying to eat more and it is exhausting. I remember feeling like this when I was breastfeeding. To keep up my milk supply up, I ate an insane amount all day. 

Movement: I felt her kick once maybe the whole week. Having my placenta be posterior really makes a big difference in feeling kicks early. I know the bigger she gets the more I will feel which is exciting.  

What I'm loving: My baby belly that is really starting to show. Last week, I had someone ask me when I am due which usually doesn't happen until I am over 20 weeks so I was very surprised that they noticed.

Symptoms: Weird vivid dreamsemotional, skin is still breaking out, but not as bad as it was, weird taste in my mouth.

Exercise: Family walks and a few 20 minute exercises.

What I'm looking forward to: More kicks and our big 20 week (halfway) ultrasound in 3 weeks and 1 day!

Home doppler: Last night the doppler ranged in the 150s bpm.

Countdowns:

Days until our next appointment: 22 days
Days until due date: less than 168 days
