16 week update

Baby Barry Update:

+

Wow, the last few weeks have came and gone. I feel like this pregnancy is going so fast already. I am a little past due from my last post. A lot has been going on and we are busier than ever.

It seems like a blur weeks 11-14. We gave in a bought a new bedroom set (King Size included). This makes this soon to be mommy very happy. It gives us so much more room for us and the pups. 

I finally gave in and purchased a few maternity wear clothing. I am still wearing normal clothing but I do love my new Jessica Simpson Maternity Jeans and black leggings from Motherhood. They both fit great and are so comfy. I also attempted to start running again but after a few months off I decided it's just not going to happen this pregnancy. 

Oh well, I will settle for long walks with the pups.

I have finally arrived to the 2nd trimester and so far I feel a ton better with a few bad days here and there. My biggest struggle is cooking and housework. I just want to sleep most weekends and lounge around. I am waiting on that extra energy boost to catch up.

Sickness: Tired, allergies, and nausea off and on but not every day

15 Weeks:

One of my favorite weeks so far. We had a gender scan and even brought along Grandma and Mimi. Oh we are so filled with joy! You were so adorable. You even smiled and yawned. I can't believe how active and formed you were this time. It even looked like you were doing yoga. I seriously couldn't help tearing up knowing that's my baby. It felt so much more real. I'll cherish those moments forever and the many more to come. The best part is we will get to see you again in 4 more weeks. Sonograms are easily my favorite part of this process. It makes all the morning sickness worth it.

We are going to finally announce your sex this weekend at our gender reveal party. I can't wait to finally just say she/he instead of "it". It's been so hard but I am proud of standing my ground.

16 weeks: 

We have started the long process of doing your nursery. I want it to be perfect. I won't post until the process is completed. I have so many ideas and projects I need to start doing. It will keep me busy in these long cold months coming up. I even felt you move around the other day. It's such an indescribable feeling. I know it might be a faint ticklish flutter but I know in a few weeks it will be a lot stronger and that makes me extremely excited.

We are already in love with your adorable little self. Keep growing and moving around in my belly. I can't wait to hear you again on Thursday. :)

XOXO
Your Mommy
