Today marks 16 weeks along in my pregnancy. The last couple of weeks have been great because I'm getting the energy back that got totally depleted during the first trimester. I'm lucky that I only had to deal with morning sickness for a few weeks, but that energy drain was making it hard to get through work--and life in general--every day.
The baby bump is growing slowly but surely and this week baby is apparently the size of an avocado:
Only two more weeks until we find out if it's a boy or girl, and I am so excited! I have really held off on thinking about names or nursery ideas because I feel like I'll be able to think much more clearly when I know what we're having. Originally I thought I'd just go "gender neutral" in terms of decorating, but the more I looked, the more I started to feel like everything in that category felt boyish anyway.
Life is otherwise fairly uneventful right now and that's really sort of nice. Adrian just got a summer job working with my brother at the Riverstone Grill, but he'll be back to teaching at the university in the fall. And now I have even more of an excuse to go eat at Riverstone and their food is fantastic! :)
Our other news is that we're celebrating our anniversary on Monday - married for two years (together for five and a half)! I wouldn't trade our time together for anything - through the ups and downs, I love my husband so much. My life would feel incomplete without him being a part of it every day.
Enjoy the pregnancy - it FLIES by. Any "gut" instinct as to what you are having? and Happy Anniversary as well!
ReplyDeleteI've been feeling like it's a boy, but between that, the guess at the ultrasound, and the chinese gender prediction chart on www.thebump.com saying boy, I feel like we're going to be surprised with a girl :) We'll know soon!
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, your pregnancy has gone by so quickly (for me, haha)!!!
