16 weeks!

 Here I feel like it just looks like I ate too much...

Here (with belly embrace) it looks like a bump!

How far along: 16 weeks
Baby is the size of an: avocado

Maternity clothes: The answer is still no. I am officially down to one pair of dress pants. I could wear some maternity tops if I want, and they do make me look 'more' pregnant, but I think I'll hold off until it is necessary.

Food cravings: I had this amazing spinach and artichoke dip while out to lunch with the fam on Sunday and I have been wanting it ever since. And, black olives although I have not purchased any. 

Anything make you queasy or sick:Nope- this week I was pretty good!

Miss anything: Not really.

Have you started to show yet: I think the bump is getting slightly bigger. With another pair of dress pants down and one of my students walked in the door on Monday and said, "Mrs. P your tummy is getting bigger."

Movement: Nope. 

Birthing Classes: Starting November 11th.

Best moment this week: I feel really blessed and thankful to have such an amazing husband. He is so supportive and is there whenever I need him. No matter how I am feeling or how busy he is, he treats me with such gentleness and love. I am so thankful to the Lord for blessing me with him and I truly cannot express how much he means to me. He is going to be one awesome daddy :)
I also had a lot of fun at the hot air balloon festival and hanging out with my fam :)
Worst moment this week: I was in my first ever car accident yesterday. It was a fender-bender rear end (not my fault) but I was pretty shaken up. I went to the doctor just to make sure everything was okay and he said that everything is fine. We heard the heartbeat and while we were listening there was this noise. The doctor asked if I heard it, and said that it was the baby moving. So the baby is alive and well. Thank you Jesus!
Best kid comment about the baby this week: Two questions asked by students: 1. How do you know when the baby is ready to come out? 2. Is it true that they cut your stomach open to get the baby out. I think I answered them honestly, yet delicately and appropriately for 1st graders.
How have I been feeling: Physically I've been feeling great. Emotionally- I feel like I am all over the place. I was reading "The Giving Tree" to my students on Monday (I had actually never read that book before, I know- I call myself an elementary school teacher.) I started tearing up while reading it and almost cried in front of the class. When I came home and told Justin, he was pretty entertained and called me a tree hugger.
Looking forward to: Not having any plans this weekend. I NEED a break! And..... we have an ultrasound scheduled for November 12th which means we get to see if the baby is a boy or girl!!! :D
