16 weeks :)

16 Weeks

baby is measuring 5 inches Long

it now weighs 3.5 oz

about the size of an Avacado!

Ahh yes we made it to 4 months! The feeling of joy and excitement and relief! I had my 16 week appointment on Wednesday, babys heartbeat is at 148/bmp which is great! I only gained back 2 pounds this past month! Yeah i know after 20weeks I'll be packing on the pounds. Although I can finally eat salad and meat, well not chicken, and i can eat eggs again, which is great! This appointment i had to be sent to do bloodwork to look for genetic disorders, cystic fibrosis and downs syndrome gene. I think we should be ok, nither of those genetic disorders run on either side of the family so my chances should be slim to none! Lets keep our fingers crossed!

My clothes pretty much still fit except for bottoms I have a bump and its growing and its hard sooo crazy, by the end of the day with all the water and after eating it looks so much bigger! But i love looking at it knowing that our little nugget is in there!!!!!

We got to schedule our anatomy scan for August 15th, I will be 18w5days( you are supposed to do it at 20 weeks or more but with school starting and Brians work schedule its gonna be so hard to find time to get it done)so we get to do it a little early, hopefully everything turns out fine! The anatomy scan is where they make sure, the brain, liver, kidneys, heart are all good and developed and they don't see any problems! But the most exciting part of the scan is if little one cooperates we will know if its a BOY OR GIRL!!!!! Only 19 more days!!

Family has been rough lately, I swear its like feuding wars on both sides! Isn't having a baby supposed to make family come together? Apparently not, with my fight with my mother about my father not smoking when the baby comes and my sister telling me how its gonna be to raise a child even though she has none, and brians sister just continuously being rude and unsupportive its a huge mess! I think were better off just having our own little family and not worrying about anyone else! Our families just need to realize that we are sooo happy and just let us enjoy that, but apparently people can not do that!

Anywhoo, theres been ups and theres been downs, but we'll get through it!

Until next time........
