Pregnancy #2 Update :: 16 Weeks

Read my first trimester update HERE. 
Read about my 16 week update from my first pregnancy HERE.  

How far along: 16 weeks
Size of Coffee Bean:  4.57 inches, 3.53 ounces (according to Pregnancy App)
Fruit/vegetable comparison (according to Baby Center):  Avocado
Gender:  Another Baby Boy!
Showing: oh yes!
Maternity clothes:  100% Maternity pants and 80/20 in tops and dresses 

Unglamorous body changes:  Just continuing to get bigger and lovely stretch marks on my tummy...two pieces will never be worn by this girl ever again!

Sleep:  Okay - I'm up several times a night to pee

Movement:  Small flutters every once in a while

Food cravings: Mexican food, lots of ice water, Hamburgers, Sherbet, unsweet iced tea

Anything making you queasy or sick: No

Wedding rings on or off: Engagement ring is on, but my stack of other two rings is too tight when worn together. 

Mood: Rather emotional
Best moment this week: Spending lots of time with Jack and Jason during the long three-day weekend even if much of it was spent stressing over storms!

Strange experiences: Can't think of anything

Milestones:  Made a few decisions about coffee bean's nursery.  It always feels good to get some things decided on.  I also bought a few (tiny) things for him.  Just because I'm having another boy doesn't mean I can't buy him things!  Shoot - half of Jack's closet is monogrammed so unless we plan on doing Jack #2, he will need some things to call his own. 
Looking forward to: Our next ultrasound to check on the babe the first part of June

Thoughts:  I so don't want to come off as ungrateful as I know so many women are struggling to conceive and would give anything to be pregnant.  I just haven't enjoyed this pregnancy as much since I'm so dang self-conscious about my body and extra weight I'm carrying.  I haven't been psyched to do pregnancy updates or take pregnancy pictures because I feel like I already look 30 weeks pregnant.  

I'm mostly just mad at myself for not working harder to lose the last 10 pounds I needed to lose from the first pregnancy, mad I'm not tall with a long torso, mad that I love food so much and mad that my work schedule and all of my commitments at home take away time I used on my first pregnancy to work out.  I know that if it's important enough, you will make time for it, however I always put my household and families needs first...and yes, I like to try and get 8 hours of sleep each night! 

I just keep telling myself that I'll have excellent "before" pictures to use for my amazing "after" pics I'm sure to get once Coffee Bean is born and I can get a program started.  Selfish rant over.

I'm so thrilled to be expecting, aside from my vanity worries, and can't wait to lock down a name and start making progress on the nursery and getting The Purifoy household ready!

This is probably the one and only time I'll post a comparison pic because they will start getting too depressing from here on out.  Read it and weep sister.  Oh to be pregnant with #1 again...in Belize, tan, rested and {more than} 10 pounds lighter...and I want my long hair back.  #debbiedowner
