Wow, FOUR months...where is the time going?! Tomorrow is September...amen for Fall coming but..wow, theses babies will be here before we know it! Our September is packed full of stuff and October is looking the same way, so time is going to fly by! Whahoo!
How Far Along: 16 Weeks/4 Months!
How Big are the Babies: The babies are the size of avocados (yummmmy), about 4.6 inches and 3.5 ounces each! Watch what you say... tiny bones forming in each baby's ears mean the little one's can now pick up your voice. Eyebrows, lashes and hair are starting to fill in, and taste buds are forming (thebump.com).
Weight Gain: Starting weight 126 lbs - currently 129.5 lbs.
Symptoms: Let's see this week, I have been pretty lucky! I have managed to make it full days without any zofran!!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! I cannot tell you how happy I am to feel normal again, for the most part, and not be gaging at every smell or sight of something. I know I might have bad days in the future where I will need it, and I can't get too excited for anything because before I know it, I'm sure I'll be addicted to it once again, but for now I am praising God and thanking him for these "normal" days!
Still constipated, back aches that are sooo horrible, sleeping a lot (like this morning, went to bed last night at 9:30 and woke up today at 11:00am!!!!! I HAVE never done that in my life!), peeing a lot, eating a lot more, thirsty (still can't believe how thirsty I can be when I drink 2L of water a day), dry eyes (I feel like my contacts are just going to fall out of my eyes sometimes, but I read that it's a completely normal symptom for right now at week 16) and acne (which I am hoping will go away sooooon)!
Emotions: Fine, this week in regard to the babies! Was so excited to find out who was in there and now the fun begins of decorating and registering! I can barely stand myself!! EKKK!
Best Moment of the Week: Hands down, finding out that we're having TWO princesses and A prince!!!!
Movement: At random times I feel instant pushing or hard kicks into my other organs/bladder. Haven't seen it yet though, but cannot wait.
Maternity Clothes: Of course, everything I wear is maternity, I bought a pair of jeans at Motherhood by Maternity or Maternity by Motherhood (which ever it is, I can't ever remember) and I love them, even though I only have tried them on, too hot here for awhile for pants! I want this dress that's there to wear to a wedding I am going to in October and to wear to my shower (whenever that is). It was $30 bucks, and honestly I didn't want to spend that much money on a dress I might wear 2-3 times!
Stretchmarks: None! :)
Sleep: Going great with my Melatonin, expect for peeing every hour, but that is manageable.
Food Cravings: Every time I see the IHOP commercial, I am dying. The food just looks so yummy to me. I stare at the blueberry pie topping on the pancakes and I dream of just opening a can and taking a spoon to it...which I guarantee the next time I am at the grocery store I will be getting a can, or maybe I'll just make a pie...hmm...definitely going to make a blueberry pie today..Tim's favorite, he'll be stoked! Yum!! Other than that, water with lemon of course.
Oh and I forgot to write about my anemia in the OB Appointment post. I am still anemic, even after taking the Iron supplement and so the OB said it's more important to eat a hamburger or a steak every day. Someting about the supplement only providing me with a very small amount of absorbable iron, where the red meat, a person gets more like 90% of the absorbable iron. So hamburgers and steak it is for me! YUMMM!
Gender Predictions: We know, we know...and I think the whole world knows at this point! Two girls and a boy!
What I Miss: Wine.
What I am Looking Forward to: Registering this weekend! EKKK!
Weekly Wisdom: I can't think anymore.
Questions: See one line above.
Ok, here is my baby bump photos for this week. I really feel bigger this week, especially up towards my ribs. Also, getting very hard and round all over the tummy, makes me happy!
Here I am the first night of injections for IVF
Here I am at 4w1d...when we found out we were pregnant...little did I know there were 3 in there, and that wasn't just bloating!!!
This one is at 8 weeks/2 months...two weeks after we found out there was triplets in my tummy!
Here I am at 12 weeks/3 months!
And now...my BIG belly! (please excuse my messy hair and no makeup)
