Little one: 16 weeks..pregnancy process!

I think this is the first week that has gone slow in my pregnancy so far. I don't know if its my impatience for the 20 (or in my case 21) week scan..or the fact that my next midwife appointment isn't until the day before I turn 18 weeks! Everything just seems to of slowed down now people know and July seems ages away. People keep asking me if we know the sex every time they see me and i'm finding it hard not to scream to be quite honest. If it wasn't for Rio's bump kisses, little movements and my OH drawing love hearts on my bump in Bio oil I think I would of quite happily stayed in bed this week.

But enough of the doom and gloom and onto the exciting stuff!!

 

 

Apparently little one should be measuring around 10cm now and over the next three weeks will double in weight whilst adding cms in length.

 

Sickness:

No actual sick, just a few days when ive suddenly felt really terrible and at times dizzy.

 

Sleep:

I'm still going to the toilet a lot in the night, and im finding it harder to get comfy. I don't think this is pregnancy/bump related, just a phase im going through maybe? I'm managing to sleep until 8:30 when Rio wakes up though, so that is a bonus! I may purchase a nursing/pregnancy pillow though.
 

Movement:

Little ones movement still varies, the little kicks are getting more frequent at night which is very nice! I quite like the sensation of them rolling over under my skin though, as I did with Rio. Sometimes I just get little bubble pops.. hardly even noticeable at all if it wasn't for me laid there, filled up on cold juice, hand on my tummy, concentrating with all my might!
 

Other:

Naughtily bought a new moses basket this week, but we are keeping the rocking stand from our old one. On the hunt for maternity clothes that make a petite lady like me feel good about my bump not frumpy and a good maternity bra! Still considering home birth.
