Maggie was right!

"Maggie, is there a baby brother or baby sister in mommy's tummy?"
"There's a baby!"

Well Maggie was right. There is a baby in there and they would not reveal themselves to the camera yesterday. It's like she knew we weren't going to find out.

I am not upset about it though. I am only 16 weeks and I was too nervous to get a premature guess that could possibly change at week 20.

Baby is super healthy and growing as expected. Due date is still April 17, 2016 and he/she is measuring 5 ounces.

We get to go back December 4 at 9am for a full anatomy scan and hopefully receive the gender.

My super amazing lovely friend went with me to my appointment because she felt bad I had to go by myself. She is so kind-hearted and compassionate and made me feel completely at ease. I will always call her my friend and hopefully one day my sister. Love you Maggie Vinopal!

16 Weeks Pregnant With Baby #2

How far along? 16 weeks!
Fruit Comparison: Avocado
Total weight gain: 5lbs
Maternity clothes? Pants for sure! Still managing in oversized sweaters and tight tees
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: Love my sleep. Sleeping 10pm-6am with no interruptions from Maggie
Best moment this week: I got my doctor back. Long story short, I left my doctor that I used for Maggie for no reason to try another and I hated the new doctor. After much begging and crying I was taken back by my original doctor. It was been a long and emotional process
Miss anything? Sushi and lunch meat. Brian bought me some organic turkey last week. It was good and hit the spot. I craved some red wine the other night too ;o)
Movement: I feel movement but it could be gas. I cant decide yet
Food cravings: Beef jerky and sweet tarts
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not anymore. Sometimes Maggie's poopy diaper will get me but I can hold it back
Gender: We find out Thursday!
Labor signs: No
Symptoms: Nausea for sure. Up twice a night to pee. I hate when I wake at 5/530am to pee and force myself to hold it because if I get up I am up for the rest of the morning. HEARTBURN!!! this kid will have a head of hair like Maggie for sure. I could smell red sauce and get heartburn. TMI constipation for days :o(
Belly button in or out? at sea level lol
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or moody most of the time: Depends on the day. Sometimes I just snap and I am super irritable. Other days I am overly happy
Looking forward to: Gender reveal and fighting over names if it is a girl
