16 weeks!

I can't believe I am already starting my fourth month of pregnany! I told my kids at school I am pregnant and a sweet little girl drew me this picture, I loved it!

Here is what is going on with me at 16 weeks!
*This month I am starting to feel SO much better! My nausea is pretty much gone! I feel bad here and there, but nothing like before.
*I still don't have much of a desire for sweets, which is so unusual for me!
*Right now my favorite thing is grilled cheese sandwiches and pickles (so cliche!). I LOVE the Boars Head Dill Pickles, SO YUMMY! I also love orange juice!
*I still have no inclination of the gender....Kris thinks girl, but I really don't know.
*The thought of Chickfila still grosses me out, so does the thought of most meat. *My stomach has really started to pooch and I am pretty much in maternity clothes, excpet one pair of jeans.
*I am anxiously waiting to feel the baby kick. I have felt flutters here and there, but nothing that makes me think that it was definatly the baby.
*My back is already aching....something I didn't experience much with Carter. Maybe carrying a 44 pound 3 year old around has something to do with it!
*I am still having super weird dreams....last night I dreamt I was hanging out with the Duggars...maybe I am watching too much TV!
*I haven't bought this baby anything! By this point with Carter I had already bought tons of girl stuff (though by this point I had found out that he was a boy!). This time, I am not drawn to boy or girl clothing, becasue I just don't know what it is!
*I am SO emotional these days. More so than I remeber being with Carter. I feel like evrything makes me cry! We went to the World Series and I almost cried like 5 times. Also, I feel so enamoured by every development with this baby. I just think that Carter was once the same size and place in development as this baby and it overwhelmes to think about how this new life is being created.....maybe it's because I am older, but everything seems more meaningful.
* I am still super tired! I am so much trouble waking up each morning and am generally late for school every day- whoops, at least I am not a classroom teachers, so I am there in pleantly of time for my first class at 8:05.
Next month will be a big update, because we will find out the gender! Things are changing quickly, what a fun ride we are on!
