I'm not sure who all will be interested in weekly posts, but I think Chet and I will enjoy looking back on changes that are happening in our lives right now. This is a unique and special time for us. I actually hadn't taken any belly photos prior to last week because I didn't feel like I looked different but now I kind of regret not taking some to show before and after!
Things are going well and the weeks are starting to go by faster. It is nice to have our extended family know and to not be keeping the news a secret at work anymore. This is especially good because I feel like I have been working a lot (or just a lot of a day on, a day off, two days on, one day off without any stretches of time off).

I think it is kind of fun to journal a few memories of the weeks as they go by and so will try to use some of these questions each week.
How far along: 16 weeks
Total weight gain: gained 6 lbs total
Maternity clothes: Not yet... using a rubber band and the Bella Band. And I have 2 pairs of work pants that still fit fine so I'm using those a lot.
Sleep: Sleeping fine as long as my schedule for work doesn't flip flop between days and nights too much... and as long as the fan is on because it is so hot here right now!
Best moment of this week: hanging outside in the evenings around our fire pit with the hubby, dinner with friends, sharing news with family and friends
Miss anything: my clothes fitting, having the same energy during workouts as before.
Movement: Thought I may have felt something while laying down to fall asleep but not sure yet. Hopefully soon!
Food cravings: Trader Joe's dark chocolate covered almonds with sea salt... and fruit. :)
Anything making you queasy or sick: nope!
Have you started to show yet: To me and Chet, yes... other people don't seem to notice as much.
Gender: TBA late July or early August
Happy or moody most of the time: Doing pretty well except when I discovered the neighbors pruned our side of the lilac as well as theirs without asking... :(
Looking forward to: Two days off in a row at the end of the week! Having friends over this weekend.
