16 week Update

Well, here I am at 16 weeks. We had our 16 week appt today and the heartbeat and movement of the baby was great. I've only gained a few pounds - she wouldn't even tell me. I was lectured for 20 minutes today and she wants a 3-4 lb. gain when she sees me again in 5 weeks. The growth of the baby is more than adequate she said. It's just me that is suffering. I have been very dizzy and foggy lately. Lack of protein is the cause. I am advised to count protein grams and need 80-100 grams per day. Yikes!! Other than that, I am great! :) I think I am becoming obviously pregnant to the stranger's eye, and Josh can feel my belly when he hugs me. I can no longer wear my regular pants. I have been wearing all elastic waisted things or dresses. I have not gotten my maternity tub out yet. I am putting it off for as long as possible. I think I need to give in soon. :) We go back in 5 weeks and then our ultrasound will be on October 16th - at 25 weeks. She is doing it later so we can get some good pictures. We are not in a rush since we aren't finding out the sex. Yeah - we are still staying strong! I have also started to feel the baby move - I think. Very fluttery and - "I think that was the baby moving." It was moving a ton during the hearbeat check. She had to keep refinding it. :)

We are very excited to see our little bundle of joy in October through the ultrasound.

I will update again in 5 weeks!
