16 weeks... an avocado

The baby is 4.5 inches long and 3 oz this week. This week the toenails are starting to grow :)

I had another baby appointment today. Everything is tracking just as it should. I haven't really gained much for weight at this point, but my doctor didn't seem concerned. My belly is measuring just right for 16 weeks and the heartbeat is at 150. They ordered my 19-20 week ultrasound for me so I can get that worked in with John's crazy schedule. Hopefully, I can get it on the calendar for close to the 20 week mark.

I've been feeling pretty good lately. I am back at the gym a couple of times a week to get a walk in and maybe a little arm workout if I'm feeling up to it (and don't get too hungry after a walk). It feels great to get a bit of activity other than work. I have had some congestion to deal with lately. I think that is likely because of some pollen coming out early this year. I'm hoping it isn't the sickness that has been going around at work.

Other than that, I have started to use the hair tie trick for making my pants a little bit bigger. I'm definitely not ready for maternity pants yet since my bump is hardly noticeable. This is a great transition for now. I did at least try on the maternity pants this week to weed out any that might not work the best for me. I felt like that was a big enough step in the direction of maternity clothes for the week :)

I will try to get better at posting maybe once per week to give an update on how things are going. If nothing else, you can get an update on what fruit/veggie I am for the week!
