Pregnancy Update: Week 16

Week 16: The week my midwife said I should start feeling more like myself. Week 16, you better not let me down! Actually, I've been feeling much more like myself the past few weeks but that pesky nausea seems to want to stick around. Thankfully it only hangs out for about 1-2 hrs. each morning. But it can leave now.
Other than that I'm feeling great! I'm still below my Lucy pre-pregnancy weight (don't worry...I should pass it up in about a week or so) but small maternity clothes are the comfortable choice these days. 
I'm craving spicy foods again this pregnancy and can't think about drinking coffee. Sad, sad, sad! I can do iced coffee and am downing the iced tea these days. Yum!
We find out in about 2 weeks if the baby is a boy or girl. :) Yay! I'm leaning toward girl....but I could totally be wrong. I guessed Lucy was a girl though. So we'll see. =)
The baby is the size of an avocado and it's little ears are beginning to pick up the sound of my voice.
I'm feeling the baby move these days. Yay! Actually I've been feeling this little one move for a couple of weeks here and there. But this past week I felt them quite a few times. Definitely earlier than with Lucy. About 4 weeks earlier! Probably because I know what tiny little kicks are supposed to feel like this time around. 

Here's a 16 week picture comparison. Lucy on the top and 2 pics with the new baby below. Much smaller this time around! In a good way though. I'm sure baby is growing right on schedule. =)
16 Weeks with Lucy.

16 Weeks now! Looking a little tired. It was the end of the day. :)
