I think I have found a compromise on how to update about Baby Republican and still keep this blog very much about all things Hilary & Mr. R. I will be updating on Wednesdays about Baby R's progress and the rate at which my belly is growing.
I'm 16 (almost 17) weeks!
Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 16 weeks
Size of baby: Baby R is the size of an avocado
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I am up 0.5 pounds
Maternity Clothes: I am still rocking my size 10s and 12s, but the waistbands in my jeans are getting tight.
I am loving anything that sits on my hips or has a little stretch in it.
Gender: TBD! (Maybe we will know at the appointment tomorrow!)
Movement: I don't feel anything yet, but two weeks ago we discovered our kid can flip turn and wave like a champ!
Sleep: I AM SO TIRED ALL THE TIME! I sleep like a rock!
What I miss: COFFEE! I am down to one cup a day and it just about kills me.
Cravings: Jalepenos, bread and butter pickles, brussel sprouts, and chocolate milk
Symptoms: I burp a ridiculous amount. I think burping is so gross and it kills me that I do it ALL THE TIME now.
Best Moment this week: Visiting family and friends and sharing the news. I love sharing the excitement with people we love so much!
Husband Quote: "Hilary, I had to eat the SIX doughnuts. Pregnant women cannot have a lot of sugar!"
This is after I discovered Mr. R ate 6 doughnuts in a 2 day period. SERIOUSLY?!?
You're looking awesome!
ReplyDeleteLooking good!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet of Mr. R to eat those doughnuts for you. Clearly he has your best interest at heart. ;)
I hope you can find out boy or girl soon.
Oh, and I'd be burping too if I was eating jalapenos, brussels sprouts and bread and butter pickles! Good choices, though. I like those things even when I'm not pregnant.
In regards to the burping... I remember a long time ago when you won a burping contest, didn't it take place in a cemetery or some weird place.
ReplyDeleteAlison and Sharon, thank you so much. As I get larger and larger I hope you will still keep lying to me and telling me I look good even if I rival the size of Shamu!
ReplyDeleteBecky, I totally forgot about that. I think I was able to burp the alphabet and I am pretty sure thanks to this baby I could do it all over again :)
LOVE the update. I will live vicariously through you until I am ready for my own, when I am 40.
