16 Weeks!

I am now 16 weeks along in my pregnancy! 

The baby is now about the size about the size of an avocado. 

So far I'm just getting bigger in my tummy! Hopefully since I won't be pregnant during the summer I won't swell up like I did the first time. I'm carrying this baby lower than I did with Ryleigh. 

I can still fit into my regular clothes but the shirts are getting shorter and I need to use the belly band to hold up my pants. I prefer to wear maternity pants; they are more comfortable. 

We'll find out the gender on December 12th! Everyone thinks it's a boy. 

Names we have picked out if it's a girl it's Reese Emmerson and if it's boy Harrison Cruz (Texas Rangers inspired) 

I felt the baby's first movements today! They were just strong enough for me to feel them but not strong enough for others to feel just yet. I probably wouldn't have realized it if I hadn't been pregnant before.

I laughed when I read that now that I'm in the second trimester I should be experiencing a decrease in needed to pee. Ha! If anything it's gotten worse. I think it's because I'm carrying the baby lower this time. I've learned that if I'm sitting down and think I need to go potty to get up and go. If I wait too long by time I get up the need to go is stronger. 

I recently started craving Club Soda. If I add lime I can pretend it's a margarita! I've also loved eating strawberries. Some things taste different like pickles and really sweet things. 

I loved the picture from 14 weeks where she was looking at me. Brandon managed to get another shot of her looking at me this week too.
