Week 16-17 update

How far along? 16w5d
Total weight gain/loss: +16lbs....here we go
Maternity clothes? Yes
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: Its been pretty decent. I can't really complain. I definitely don't have insomnia anymore
Best moment this week: Anytime Gabriella randomly comes up to me and gives me a big squishy hug and kiss
Movement: No and I'm starting to get impatient. All these tails of 2nd timers feeling flutters at like 14-15 weeks makes me so jealous. I know the OB said the anterior placenta shouldn't be a factor and I know that its still early, but alas I am an impatient girl. With Gabriella I was definitely feeling movement by week 18 so here's hoping I feel something by then.
Food cravings: My love affair with chips continues and I may have asked my co-worker who went to the grocery store, to pick me up gushers and popsicles...
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? In
What I miss: Spring...seems like we are on the fast track to the surface of the sun the past few days
What I am looking forward to: Lots of things, but more than anything movement and vacation
Milestones: Nothing really monumental going on right now.

In case anyone is wondering about Gabriella happenings, let me just tell you that this little girl is unbelievably hilarious. Sometimes I cannot believe what comes out of her mouth. Her new fave things to say are "I want it" and "I don't want it." She also likes to sternly point her finger in my face and say "stop it!" LOFL. How do you not laugh when a toddler is in your face pointing her finger at you in ALL seriousness? I die.

I'm getting super excited for vacation, but there's still SO much to buy. We are buying the Baby Bjorn travel crib (Thanks Maura!) since it looks perfect for what we need and despite the luxuriousness of this resort I just don't know what their provided cribs will look like. Also just have to start my master list of things to remember to pack.

I started prenatal yoga last Saturday and love it. The teacher was a little too over the top for me, but I still thought the class was worth continuing. I'll be starting twice weekly at the beginning of June when my 2nd class starts up during the week. Oh, also, I had another cervical check last week at the hospital and all is well. did find out that I have a marginal placenta, so its in proximity to my cervix. No sexy time or heavy physical activity...lol, not that I needed to worry about either of those. I just now have a medical excuse...SCORE!

I'll post belly pics tonight (under belly pics). T-26 days till the big u/s and Gabriella's 2nd b-day!
