16 Weeks!!

From thebump.com my weekly updates :)

you're 16 weeks pregnant!

About what Mama will be experiencing :)

Thanks to increasing blood flow, it's time for some major cash and prizes. Enjoy quick-growing hair and nails, smooth and firm skin, and a healthy glow. One bit of bad news -- your eyes might be feeling a little dry these days.

About what Baby is is developing!!!

Baby's now the size of an avocado!

Watch what you say...tiny bones forming in baby's ears mean she can now pick up your voice. A few more minuscule changes: Eyebrows, lashes, and hair are starting to fill in, and taste buds are forming.

How EXCITING that the baby can now hear us talking to him/her!!!!!!!!!!! My mom has instructed me that I must say "Grandma Juju" at least 10 times a day haha :) We have an appointment on Friday and I can't wait to see how much the baby has grown.....its soooo fun!

Today at work a client came in for her appointment and had her 4 month old little girl, my heart just melted! She was sooo cute with big brown eyes! I got to play with her for just a few minutes but it totally made my afternoon!

Well that's all for now :)

15 weeks!

So I am 15 weeks along in my pregnancy and the morning (all day long) sickness has not subsided yet! They claimed that the 2nd trimester will be the "honeymoon phase" which means that I should be out of the feeling nausaeted most of the time--but they are wrong I'm still feeling that way and throwing up at the very least once a week. Which I shouldn't complain because 1. They say that being sick is a good sign that the baby will be healthy--but I know plenty of people who said they weren't sick and their babies were just as healthy as could be--so I think they just tell you that to make you feel better! 2. It could always be worst! I had a friend who was in and out of the hospital with both of her pregnancies, I am thankful I haven't been put in the hospital! I did come close in the beginning, but I with the help from my wonderful husband buckled down and made myself eat and drink stuff. I'm noticing that my energy levels are still very low--I am constantly wanting to take a nap--but never can because I'm working full time (M-F 8:30-5). Some mom's have the luxury of being able to stay home and get the rest they need--but I have to work. I am also noticing I am getting headaches a lot more than normal-which they claim is normal. Also whenever I refer to "they" its either http://www.thebump.com/ or other mom's who have told me about their stories. Just a little side-note for all my readers :)

Speaking of thebump.com they send me their weekly updates about what I am expecting and how the baby is growing. Which I find rather interesting :) They compare the baby's growing size to different fruit each week :) Below is my weekly update:

Your gums may be red and swollen (thanks, hormones), so it's extra-important to take good care of your mouth right now. Brush often, floss gently, and see your dentist if you haven't already. Also, your now-cramped chest and abdomen (baby's growing fast!) might be making you a little short of breath.


your baby
Baby's now the size of a naval orange!Continuing the march toward normal proportions, baby's legs now out-measure his arms. And, finally, all four limbs have functional joints. Your fetus is squirming and wiggling like crazy down in the womb, though you probably can't feel the movements just yet.

Well this is all for now :) I'll try to remember to keep updating each week as I get my weekly updates :)
