16 weeks



I figured I better start documenting this pregnancy since life seems to fly by these days. I did not document my pregnancy with Elle very well. I wish I had more to look back on.
Sleep has started to get better over the last few weeks. I was not sleeping well in my first trimester. I got up a lot at night to go to the bathroom. The 5 times a night has dwindled down to only once a night so no complaining here!
I have felt the little flutters a couple of times but nothing consistent yet. I am so ready to feel this precious baby move everyday. It gives me piece of mind!
I am much more tired this time around than I was with Elle. I remember having a ton of energy second trimester with Elle. I just don't want to do much of anything with this one. I hate that. I feel like Elle is suffering because I am so unmotivated! I have also started to get headaches again. I had this problem my first time around as well. It is nothing I can't handle right now. I just hope they stay that way.
I am craving salty and spicy foods. I really haven't given in to too many of them just because I try to buy healthy food for the house. It is getting harder to fight the urge to eat fried chicken or french fries though. I am obsessed with Popsicles and SERIOUSLY have 5-6 a day. They are so good!
I have gained 8 pounds so far which is more than with Elle. I started to show at 5 weeks and I look about 6 months pregnant right now. But I am embracing it :) I feel much more pregnant than I am. It is strange!
Belly measurement this week- 31 inches
