16 Weeks

16 weeks! Just four more to halfway. Symptom-wise things are smooth. My food fixations are completely gone and I feel like I can make normal choices again ... ones of my own volition.

Sleeping is becoming a little rough, and I'm still crashing pretty early most of the week. Sadly I think it's the end of my tummy sleeping, which I'm devastated about; tummy sleeping was the easiest way for me to fall asleep. And I still somehow end up on my back, which is also against the rules.

My biggest complaint body-wise is that I feel like my back and other joints are rigid. Bending over is a chore already.

I had my 16 week midwife appointment Wednesday. I got to hear the little peanut's heartbeat again -- now in the 130s/140s (see video). The only negative? I'm already at a 10 lb. weight gain. I can't say I'm shocked -- after all, my appetite since week 5 has been incredible and let's just say I wasn't indulging in salads and steamed  veggies the past few months. I'm trying to focus on making better decisions now that I'm more in control of my cravings.

Our anatomy scan is scheduled for June 20 -- coincidentally our three year anniversary! <3
