16 Weeks

Baby H is about 4.5 inches long now and still the size of a large avocado. The next four weeks are a very exciting time for our little pumpkin - he/she will double in weight before we see him/her again on our 20 week "anatomy scan". We decided to find out the gender, which was a very tough decision, but we're so excited to know if we're expecting a little cheerleader or a little football player (pee wee football; let's be serious...Kevin and I don't exactly have the structure to produce an NFL hopeful).

Highlights of the week: Our birthdays were this week! Mine is May 1 and Kevin's is May 2. Facebook, phone calls, and texts made us feel very loved this week. We were able to enjoy a wonderful dinner in NYC with Kevin's Dad on Thursday night and yesterday we had a great family bbq with my Mom, Dad, Sister, Marc and Kevin to celebrate. My dad's Birthday is May 5th so we had three birthdays to celebrate and it was a lot of fun. Here are a few pics from the bbq:

New this week: Bump alert! This was the week where I definitely started showing.

How I'm feeling: Great! Tons of energy during the day (not so much past 8pm) and I even stayed out past 11pm three times this week. That's a real accomplishment for me during this pregnancy.

Food: Yum! I look forward to all meals now but you still can't convince me to have a plain piece of chicken. For some reason, I just can't eat it plain. Mixed into a salad, taco or casserole however, is fine. Wonder if that strange avoidance will remain?

Clothing situation: Maternity jeans are amazing. I invested in a pair this week and they've made me very happy.

Movement: Still nothing!

What I miss: Oh sushi. That might be my "first meal" after delivery! I long for a Spicy Bad Girl roll from Illuzion in Hoboken, NJ.

Most looking forward to: Our 20 week "anatomy scan" where we'll find out the gender!!
