Week 15 and 16

Hello!

Well, I am well into my 2nd trimester, and have had some subtle changes.

15 weeks

16 weeks, new found respect for people who take pictures in this fashion. Harder than I thought..XD

Weight- starting-129.4/ now-136! AH! 
Baby girl- Size of an avocado, 4.6 inches long and 3.5 ounces. This week baby can hear my voice! I am singing in the car to her every chance I can. 
Baby name- Lily Annette :)
Symptoms- 
-Nausea is mostly gone now! I still get it in the mornings and right before dinner, but a huge improvement. 
-mild cramping
- Maybe it is wishful thinking, but I think I felt some flutter movements when I was lying down. It might have been Lily moving around! Either way, these flutters should become stronger in the weeks to come, and feel like distinct kicks. Can't wait!

My body is just now starting to look somewhat pregnant. I am still in the "is it a beer gut?" stage, big enough to not look normal but not big enough to be clearly pregnant. I am looking forward to the clearly pregnant size. I already bought some cute maternity things and am looking forward to wearing them!

I am starting to get my energy back this week, though I definitely do not have the super energy I have been promised from countless websites. Boo.

Thank you all for your interest and support! 24 weeks to go!
