16 Weeks

This month has been insane. My weekends switched at work and I am still trying to get into a new routine. I keep meaning to post baby updates on my day off but I have been so tired that all I do is sleep (and don't want to get dressed for a photo!). But here I am this morning before work! A few weeks later but looking pretty much the same....
How Far Along? 16 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss? 13 pounds
Maternity clothes? Still wearing leggings and my 2 pairs of maternity pants. Most of my tops still work and I dug a few dresses out of the back of my closet.
Stretch marks? Using tons of cream and (so far) avoiding new ones. 
Sleep? Still eating every 3 or 4 hours so still no sleeping through the night for me. 
Best moment this week? Booking the 3D ultrasound so we can see baby better and tell what it is!
Miss Anything? Eggnog with rum (it is not the same without the run!) & rare meat. I love steaks but am one of the people who orders them blue rare. Well done is just not my thing. 
Movement? Still nothing but the baby is high enough that I should be able to feel it soon.
Food Cravings? Still anything sour and anything citrus. 
Anything making you queasy or sick? Chicken and coffee. I would love for both of these to go back to normal!
Have you started to show yet? There is definitely a baby there- clients at work are commenting every day- they can't believe that I am only 16 weeks along!
Gender? Two more weeks and I'll know!!!
Labor signs? None!
Belly Button in or out? It is disappearing! 
Wedding rings on or off? Still on, not spinning at all anymore though!
Happy or Moody most of the time? Still happy although certain people seem to bring out the bitchy in me. Fortunately my love of Christmas music puts me back into a good mood!
Looking forward to? Getting our Christmas tree up and seeing both sets of parents in December!

13 Weeks (again...)

How Far Along? 13 Weeks- The test results that the Doctor wanted to go over with me were the ultrasound reports. The baby was smaller than it should have been based on the original timeline. My due date changed to May 13th!
Total weight gain/loss? 11 pounds
Maternity clothes? I need to pick some more bottoms up but all of my 'fat' tops are fitting still.
Stretch marks? Some old ones are getting whiter. I have started moisturizing like crazy!
Sleep? Still sleeping in short stretches, but have managed to get a few 5 or 6 hour runs in.
Best moment this week? Hearing the heartbeat at the Dr's appointment. 
Miss Anything? Still missing coffee 
Movement? None yet
Food Cravings? Sour anything
Anything making you queasy or sick? It's a daily tossup between meat or veggies making me feel ill.
Have you started to show yet? Definitely
Gender? No idea yet.
Labor signs? None!
Belly Button in or out? Still in but getting really shallow!
Wedding rings on or off? Still on.
Happy or Moody most of the time? Happy and tired.
Looking forward to? Getting some of my energy back.
