16 weeks

Haven’t taken my 16 week pic yet but here was from just a few days ago. 

Well so much for doing weekly updates lol. I feel like time has gone by fast since my last update. I guess once you start feeling better and enjoying life again the weeks go by faster.  I honestly can’t believe I’m 16 weeks already!

Symptoms: honestly I feel great. I’m not nauseous anymore since about 14 weeks and I’m working out 3 times a week and walking the other days. I do Barre3 for my workouts and I’ve been doing that for almost a year and my body is very happy with it. My allergies are going crazy right now. But I have those usually anyways. I get allergy shots and that helps. 

I did have a weird symptom today where my heart rate was pretty high just standing and waking around like 130 and I felt really tired and breathless. I think it was low salt though cause my MIL who’s a nurse suggested eating something salty and drinking water and that helped. It was odd though and triggered my anxiety today. I just don’t do well with my own health problems lol. I also go to bed at like 8pm every night cause I’m so tired and my belly just wants to rest lol.

Movement: baby is definitely more active or just bigger and I can feel it more and I absolutely love it! It helps with the reassurance that he/she is doing ok. Though some days I hardly feel the baby at all and other days a lot so I look forward to it being more consistent and feeling it from the outside so the boys can feel it too. I felt it around 16 weeks with Eli so it should be soon. I did get an at home dopplar so they could hear the heartbeat and they liked that. 

Cravings: still fresh fruit and today it was avocado toast with tomatoes and turkey bacon.. also chocolate ice cream. Lol oh and still orange juice too. 

Only a few more weeks till my gender ultrasound and I can hardly wait! We will either confirm or deny the at home sneak peek blood test I did at 8 weeks... we will see!!
