Not much has changed this week, pretty status quo. I finally had the energy to do laundry this week! Woo hoo! Spent an hour on Friday just FOLDING clothes that had been taking over our laundry room floor, plus an additional 5 loads of laundry this weekend. My mama is going to be so embarrassed that I put that on the internet (FYI - she raised me better than that). Baby and I rewarded our efforts with some R&R by the pool this weekend. I've heard that your skin can be more sensitive to sun when pregnant - I can now confirm that's true! My shins are the one part of my body that NEVER burn...so I proceeded to put sunscreen everywhere except my shins. Bad move - weirdest sun burn ever. Note to pregnant self - sun screen goes anywhere the sun shines.
We're heading to Savannah on Friday for a friend's wedding this weekend. I can't wait to see how frustrated Bailey gets when I have to stop every hour for a potty and/or snack break :) My bridesmaid's dress is officially good-to-go (thank heavens for corset backs and amazing seamstresses).
People continue to ask if Bailey and I have chosen a name yet, which is a pretty normal question to ask at this stage in the game. We have a tendency to agree on a lot of things, or at least are able to come to a fair compromise. Baby names? Well, they may just end our marriage ;) I kid, I kid. We have decided to just stop with the baby name debate until we find out if it's a boy or girl. No use arguing over something that hasn't happened yet, right? After we told the Garner family we were expecting at Easter, Harrison asked us if we had thought of any names. When I told him that we hadn't decided on one yet, he proceeded with the following:
- Henrietta (after his baby brother, Henry)
- Roxie Rocket
- Dez
- Austin
- Allie
- Parker (must do kung-fu)
- Ella (must wear a red hat)
- Maddie (must play basketball)
I started to notice a slight trend in these names (there were probably 10 more than what I listed above), as I have a love for Disney channel (judge away), and asked him where he got the names. "Um, Brittoni. They came from Disney. Where else would I get names?" Well played, little guy, well played.
Week 16 picture (no bump, just the standard stomach I've had for the last 25 years :D)
How far along: 16 weeks
How big is baby?: Avocado...makes me think of guacamole. yum.
Total weight gain/loss: I don't know! I don't weigh myself at home, and I don't have another doctor appointment until Friday!
Maternity clothes: Still haven't busted out the maternity clothes. I have, however, started rigging a few pairs of pants with a ponytail holder. Must. Make. Them. Fit. My sister in law passed down a huge tub of maternity clothes, and a sweet friend from church gave me another tub of clothes yesterday, so I shouldn't have any shortage of things to wear :) I did also happen to stumble across a sale at Motherhood Maternity today - BOGO. I'm in!
Sleep: Still sleeping pretty well - trying to train myself to sleep on my side. I keep the air on 70 at night - Bailey sleeps under a mound of blankets. I sleep with a sheet and still wake up hot.
Best moment this week:
Food cravings: Still craving a lot of fruit! I've gone through 3 bags of cherries...in 3 days. at $8/bag, NOT a cheap craving.
Food aversions: Still chicken.
Gender: We find out July 11th!
Labor signs: Let's hope not!
Pregnancy symptoms: Still just tired
What I miss: Pants fitting properly!
What I am looking forward to: July 11th - boy or girl!?
Milestones: well, I felt a weird flutter on Friday (06.06). I may have felt the baby move. I may have just felt gas. At the risk of not sounding too crazy, lets just go with gas :)
