16 Weeks


How far along: 16 weeks
Gender: See above.  When the genetic counselor told me last Thursday the DNA showed the sex and asked if I wanted to know, I paused.  Then said yes.  When he told me, I nearly shouted a shocked "Really?!?" then felt a little guilty about finding out - for the first time ever - without M.  So, naturally, I immediately texted him that we may be in for a complete surprise, and that I'll believe it when I see it.  It's taken until - oh, yesterday - to get over the shock and feel a little excited.
Weight gain: I still don't know.  And if you think I'm going to find out anytime in the next week (i.e. post-Thanksgiving), you're dead wrong.
Maternity clothes: Still those same three pieces.
Stretch marks:  Nope.
Belly button in or out: In
Sleep: Good.  Trying to improve it more by role-playing with the 4-year old about how to not wake me up.
Best moment this week: Hearing the baby's "vigorous" heartbeat.  And gender reveal party with my fam. And also being invited for Thanksgiving (and getting out of cooking).
Worst moment this week: Seeing the... uncertainty on my OB's face today as I asked her whether she's ever managed the pregnancy of a baby with AMC. 
Miss anything: My disappearing waistline.
Movement: Not really.
Cravings: Pie.  Should be taken care of tomorrow... 
Queasy or sick: Not so much anymore.
Looking forward to: A lazy Thanksgiving and watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
