Pregnancy - Week 16

I guess I'm getting past the excited but in shock stage and settling into normalcy.  I can't feel the baby move yet or anything like that.  Supposedly it feels like butterfly wings...or gas...  Suffice to say, if I feel something, I can't identify it definitely as the baby.

However, this week as brought on the beginning of the wearing of the Maternity clothing.  So far I have 3 pairs of pants, a pair of shorts and somewhere about 10 shirts.  Not all of the shirts of "maternity" shirts, some are just the baby-doll style shirts that are popular right now and cover my belly!

I've heard the heartbeat twice so far.  However, no ultrasounds yet. My first (and only) ultrasound will be in 4 weeks.  Week 20 to find out if it's a boy or a girl.  My husband and my mom both think it is a boy.  I'm really not sure.  I don't have a particular feeling one way or another.

  • Congrats! It'll all come at the right time (movements, baby rotating, etc, etc)... It's all very fun and exciting... And i would try to get as little maternity clothes as possible! :)
