16 Week Bumpdate

I can't believe how fast these 16 weeks have flown by! 4 months pregnant already (12/17/12)!

I'm currently at my parents house soaking in the holiday. When we go back home, I'll update this post with my 16 week picture.
Update: 16 week picture below!


Cravings: Nothing too crazy! I've been  trying to workout more and only indulge in a few holiday treats! They are definitely calling my name! 
 Any foods you don’t want: I saw a Diners, Drive ins and Dives episode where they were making a shrimp dish and it actually looked and sounded appetizing. I might be over my shrimp aversion?
Symptoms? Dry skin (combo of winter and pregnancy maybe?), waking up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom and thirst! I am SO thirsty! I feel like I can't get enough water
Showing: YES! I have a bump! I think it's more undeniably noticeable to me than everyone else. 
Boy or Girl? We will find out on the 12th with our families! Gender reveal cake, here we come! Can't wait. I am thinking a boy based on our last ultrasound picture but the heartbeat was in the 150s at our last appointment, which they say means girl. Who knows! Happy and healthy are our main concerns.
Bought anything? Nothing since the crib and dresser/changing table. After the holidays and finding out the sex, I am sure the answer to this question will change. :)
Shopping for anything?  Nothing in particular. I am excited to register in the next few weeks!
The Dad to be? He's so excited. I catch him checking all the juice and  cheese labels before I eat anything to see if it says pasteurized. So sweet. I love when he rubs my belly and loves on the baby.
Most recent appointment? 12/21 we had a regular check up/blood work. I got to hear the baby's heartbeat!
Next appointment? We find out the sex on 1/10!
Baby bean-

Being home for the holidays makes me even more excited to meet you! I can't wait to have you hear with us next year at Christmas! For now, we want you to continue to grow big and strong. We love you to the moon and back.

Love,
Mama Cait
