Baby Wood Update- Week 16

Hello month 5!!! I can't even believe it. Anyone who says the second trimester goes quickly is totally right. Here is a little chalkboard tracker REVIEW OF MONTH 4

This week was so busy. I spent just about every day at work preparing my classroom. I definitely put in some long hours but I am hoping the more I do now the less I have to do when I return to work after the baby is born. This week my little bump has really popped out too. It is feeling more like a baby bump instead of some pudge around my belly.

I looked down in the car one day this past week and this is what I saw. : )

People have been incredible generous and sweet to Nick and I. We have the best friends and family!! My friend Jess gave us our first little onesie, my mom-mom took me maternity clothes shopping, and my parents had a little "congratulations" picnic for us over the weekend. There are no words to express how thankful we are for everyone. This little baby is going to be so loved. We just couldn't ask for anything more!!

Baby Wood's First Onesie

How far along?: 16 weeks
Total weight gain: (Started at 120lbs) 130lbs...I really can't believe this!!!
Maternity clothes? Basically a new wardrobe. I put away a majority of my regular clothes. Since then, I have been wearing comfy clothes and long dresses but with school starting I needed something to wear. I am pretty much set for the rest of the pregnancy except for some odds and ends I might need when it gets colder. My mom-mom completely spoiled me. We went crazy at Kohls and Sears. I now have dress pants, skinny pants, jeans, some tops, a couple tunics and dresses, and a cardigan. I also picked up a tank top and another pair of leggings from Macys. My hope is to pick up some more tank tops, cardigans, and a couple long necklaces before school starts.  
Stretch marks? No stretch marks
Sleep: Sleeping pretty good. I am completely EXHAUSTED by the end of the day.
Best moment this week: Getting my classroom prepared for the year and my little bump growing.
Gender: I think girl. Nick thinks boy.
Miss anything: Nothing this week.
Food cravings: Nothing this week.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing
Labor signs: NO!!
Wedding rings on/off: On...but I have been getting into a habit of taking it off before I go to bed.
Mood: Felt pretty good all week.
Looking forward to: Anatomy Ultrasound a the end of September. CAN'T WAIT!!!
