Pregnancy isn't too bad after all. =)

Since beginning my second trimester, I have been feeling FANTASTIC!!! As miserable as I was during my first trimester, I tried so hard not to complain. Being pregnant is a miracle that I am thankful for every single day. I'm such a worrywart, so I try to follow the mantra of, "I'm pregnant today and I love my baby." It puts my life in perspective. =)

Tomorrow Zac and I may or may not find out if we're having a baby boy or girl. I'm super excited! It's nice to finally not feel ridiculously nervous about an OB appointment. I'm three weeks away from being halfway through with this pregnancy. It's crazy how time flies.

Here's a quick update since it's been about three weeks:

How far along?: 16 weeks 5 days

Total weight gain: A pound more or less... same as last time. People keep commenting that I should have gained weight by now. Sorry?

How big is baby?: Baby A is a turnip. Hmm. That's kind of hard to visualize personally. Crown to rump (not including legs) is about five inches long, or the size of an open palm.

Maternity clothes?: At times. About a week ago we went to Motherhood Maternity (don't ever go there!! Their return policy should be criminal) and Macy's (mmm Macy's!) where I bought denim capris, camo capris, and "designer" jeans. I seriously LOVE my jeans because the back pockets are simply adorable. My normal jeans were fitting up until this past weekend, but today I had to do the rubberband trick.

Stretch marks?: None. *crossing fingers*

Sleep?: Is wonderful.

Best moment this week?: Tomorrow we might find out if it's a boy or a girl!

Movement?: Not yet, but I am hoping to feel flutters soon.

Food cravings?: Not really. I'm trying to eat healthier to make up for the first tri. I'm eating a ton of fresh fruits and salads.

Labor signs?: No!!!

Belly button in or out?: In

What I miss: Riding the motorcycle.

What I'm looking forward to: The next appointment so we can hopefully find out if we're having a boy or a girl! <--- still this!
Milestone: People have started to notice my teeny bump. =)
