Mommy/LilBit Update: Week 16

Week 16: New trimester since last update!

I know it's been awhile and I missed my week 14 update but I've been crazy busy. A lot has changed since then!

We got the hear LilBit's heartbeat the other day too! Fast and strong! And soon we will find out if LilBit is a boy or a girl!

Feeling: Feeling great! I've gotten my energy back though I didn't realize it til recently because I've been so busy but now things are starting to settle down. 

Cravings: 

not much of anything lately, at least not as strong. 

Food aversions: 
(only slightly) pizza 

Weight gain: 
since last update- 4lb; 10lbs total

LilBit: The baby is the size of a an avocado  LilBit is approximately 4 1/2 inches long and 3 1/2 ounces. LilBit is continuing to grow and develop, everything moving in the right places. His/her head is more erect and the patterning of the scalp has begun. LilBit even has toenails now! Also, LilBit's heart is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood each day.

Baby purchases: 

We haven't been purchasing much lately since we still don't know if LilBit is a boy or girl. However, I find myself looking at baby stuff a whole lot. I've found all the stuff I want for the nursery (decorations that is)! However, that hasn't stopped other people! My parents found a wooden cradle that we will refurnish at a yard sale. My friend Lauren and her husband got us a Winnie the Pooh pack n' play! Also, David's parents bought us a cute frame for LilBit's room too!

Mommy/LilBit Update: Week 12

Week 12

Feeling: I've been pretty much the same, just tired a lot. That's it though, yay!

Cravings: 
chocolate, fruit

Food
aversions: 
salad dressings, mainly creamy ones

Weight gain: 
since last update- 1lb; 6lbs total

LilBit: The baby is the size of a lime! The biggest development this week is reflexes! LilBit's mouth can now make sucking movements, he/she can curl toes and clench eye muscles. If I prod my stomach, LilBit will even squirm in response, though I cannot feel it. The eyes and ears are both where they should be now. LilBit is now over 2 inches long and weighs half an ounce!

Baby purchases: 

I had fun buying a lot of maternity clothes last week. I even got a swimsuit which came in the mail today! Everything is so comfy! They have come a long way with maternity clothes too, so much cute stuff! It's getting real, guys! Haha. We also got some cute things for LilBit too!

<--- These are two sleepers and a onesie. The onesie came with a maternity dress I bought. The two sleepers were on sale and too cute to pass up! The yellow one has a giraffe and says "Daddy loves me" and the beige one has a bear and says "Mommy loves me."

       The penguin shirts below are from David's cousin, Alison. She got them for us for our birthdays. A shirt for each of us and then one for LilBit. She took a small t-shirt and turned it into a little onsie/sleeper that can be easily turned back into the regular shirt as LilBit grows. So cute! We love them!
