Baby #3: Week 16

Hi!!
Welcome to my pregnancy journey with Baby #3!!!

I'm excited to share with you my feelings, experiences and photos in this exciting path to another baby! And guess what, after 2 girls, this time we're having a BOY!!! We're super excited to experience the joys - and differences - with a little boy and have our 2 beautiful little girls enjoy a little brother! We are beyond thrilled and excited to have you on this journey with us!

The Youngs

Baby Size Avocado, donut, or chick! Oooorr 4.57"
Total weight gain: About 3 lbs.
Maternity clothes? Nothing new yet. I wore my jeans from last pregnancy once, but they were still too big! I kept having to pull them up.
Stretch marks? Nope! I keep lubing my tummy up with almond oil, so hopefully that will keep the stretchies at bay!
Sleep: Sleep is good!! I love my sleep!! lol I do wake up several times a night though....either having to go pee or one of the girls waking me up.
Workouts: I actually finally started working out again after a long break, and I'm loving being in the gym, hitting the weights and doing my HIIT workouts, knowing I'm going to stay so much stronger this pregnancy, healthier, and have a better recovery.
Diet: Making sure to keep my meals small and eat snacks between main meals. Trying to make sure I intake lots of fruit and veggies, whole grains and of course a ton of water.
Food cravings: Not really. During the first trimester, all that ever sounded good was Taco Time Mexi Fries..yummmm! oh and Daves Killer Bread with peanut butter. Lately, I haven't been craving anything. Although Mexican food just always sounds good!
Anything making you queasy or sick? Nothing, luckily!
Gender: Boy!!! We found out a couple weeks ago with a BLUE cake! We are thrilled to be adding a little boy to the mix! Daddy is super excited, of course!
Labor signs: No!
Symptoms: Nothing major; after getting through the first trimester, where I was sick all the time, I've been doing pretty good so far in the 2nd trimester. Still feel bloated sometimes and super full and tight even after just eating slightly more than I should. A teeny bit of back pain starting.
Belly button in or out? In. It's been super itchy, lately. ??
Wedding rings on or off: On
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy 98% of the time; the other 2% is when I get grumpy because the girls aren't listening or fighting with eachother.
Best moment this week:  Checking my baby app on my switch day (Tuesday) to find out what baby is up to and how big!
Looking forward to: The next doctors visit; always excited to see how things are going. And VERY excited to start feeling the baby move!
