16 weeks...

So, this has turned out to be the hardest week thus far for me & my pregnancy.  I started feeling awful & went to the doctor...tested positive for the FLU! SERIOUSLY?!?!?! I'm starting to feel better now but not 100%.  I did schedule the ultrasound for April 4, Thursday, to find out what we are having!  I am so friggin excited!! Regardless if it's a "lil miss Juliet" or "redneck Romeo" I will be completely thrilled!! & I just ordered a fetal Doppler! Now, I can listen to my lil jellybean's heartbeat any time I want!! <3

Jellybean gettin so big!! <3


Getting SOOOO big!  I love watching the movements while doing an ultrasound!
 
Wouldn't put the hands down when trying to take a pic!


Can see the face forming!  I cannot wait to see my precious child!

How far along? 14 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: Maternity clothes? Have lost a total of 6 lbs!  But yet I look like I'm blowin up like a balloon!

Best moment this week: Realized in only 6 more weeks I will be halfway through my pregnancy!
Miss Anything? Honestly...I'd love an ice cold beer!!...STILL!
Movement: Not yet...but hopefully soon!
Food cravings: Still on the cinnamon sugar kick but controlling it & I'm lovin me some fruit!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Still the meat aversions (sight, smell, & taste) & I can smell everything!  For someone who loves sea food, the smell of fish will send me runnin!
Gender prediction: I'm still thinkin I got a lil miss juliet <3
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Tired & a little less irritable...though my tolerance for stupidity has not changed so irritability comes easy at times LOL

1 Down :)

Welp, yesterday marked the official end of my first trimester! :)
I'm so thankful & blessed to have a healthy baby still growing inside of me! :)
It has now become harder to get comfortable to sleep, especially considering the fact I am a stomach sleeper!
I'm looking forward to finding out the gender!  I'm happy with a boy or girl, but my impatience gets the better of me & I want to know! 
I'm excited to begin my second trimester & all that lies ahead!
