Nothing really exciting happened in week 16, so don't worry, you didn't miss anything.
Oh wait, I lied. Last week, at 16 weeks, 5 days, I was sitting at my computer, and I felt a bunch of little bumps and bloops! Little Sprout was moving around! It lasted part of the morning and then was gone. Since then, I've felt a couple more little bumps, but nothing major. I'm still waiting for some big kicks! Luckily, Sprout's bones are continuing to harden this week, and Sprout is now almost 5 inches long, so, I should be feeling more soon :)
When I hit 17 weeks last Thursday, I had one of those, "Holy crap this is going fast!" moments. I'm almost half-way done with this pregnancy! It doesn't feel like it because I still don't always feel that pregnant, but it's true! I bet the last 20 weeks of this craziness is really going to fly!
I'm grateful to be a lot more awake now - finally. I can stay up all day w/o needing a nap. I still feel like I need one around 2 pm, but I can move past it and actually get stuff done. Hooray! My nausea is gone, and my eating habits have returned mostly to normal. Whenever anyone mentions any particular kind of food, I want it, but other than that, the cravings are pretty low key - anything juicy and cheeseburgers.
I'm getting lots of guesses about Sprout's gender. Most people are guessing girl, but there are still a few on the boy train. I was convinced Sprout is a boy, but now I'm not so sure. Either way, I'll be happy! Only 23 more weeks (ish) until we find out!
Sprout has been getting lots of Christmas presents. We've got the crib and pack 'n' play - thanks Grandma Alexis and Aunt Adrian! Aunt Lauren bought some adorable baby clothes, and we've gotten tidbits from others, as well. It's fun to see all the baby stuff in our house! It makes it feel more real, for sure.
Without further ado - the 17 week bump...
