Weight: 205.6 lb
Symptoms: mild to moderate nausea, lessening motion sickness, bulging belly, barely noticeable larger breasts, trouble eating normal to large meals, still tired
Baby: baby girl is about 4 inches long and 3-4 ounces. She's the size of an avocado. That seems big to me since Astro got down to 1 lb 12 oz after birth. Baby girl is starting to make different expressions and bones have formed in her ear meaning that she can start to hear now.
Boy, boy, just got home from the Eas.ter fun fair. So exhausted. Thank goodness that I'm starting spring break. I'm just feeling useless.
My cold is still lingering but it finally started to dissipate on Tuesday. The nausea dropped from severe to moderate but I just passed sixteen months and I still feel it. Not horrible, but I'm not normal. Super upset.
This past week, I felt much more normal most of the days but I also started having trouble eating. My stomach just feels pushed up. I noticed that just eating a little would make my stomach hurt and it felt like I had food in my throat. So, I'm battling to eating small but frequent meals and not feeling like I want to eat sometimes.
I'm trying to put in more at work but it just get tired out so easily. It's so much walking...just getting to my office from the car takes it out of me. I know I'm way better than a month ago so I'm trying to do more also.
I'm in stretchy yoga pants. Halfway through the week, I just realized that my pants waistband was just too tight. The rest of my clothes fit fine, just the waist. I need to go buy some maternity clothes before school starts up again. I'm been spotting again since yesterday but just spotting and it is very dark and old-looking. Still, torn between trying to clean my house and get myself in order during spring break and also knowing I don't want to risk pushing myself.
Today I found myself rubbing my tummy. I think I'm starting to look and feel pregnant. It's nice. We've been telling people in person and word is getting around. We go to the specialist in a week for our next ultrasound. With the spotting, I'm relieved the ultrasound is coming quickly and we should find out for sure if we are having a girl or not.

So glad to be here at 16 weeks. Hoping 17 weeks brings a complete end to nausea...a little scared this pregnancy is going to be different. Please no!
