16w1d

I was SO tired and had a massive headche when I got home from work yesterday I couldn't bring myself to do anything but eat some cereal and go to sleep.

Constipation = sucks. Uh. That's all I can say. I think I'm going to have to consider some Colase or something because I do not want to have that again. By far one of the worst pregnancy symptoms I've had up to this point. I can handle the headaches without taking medication fine. But I don't know if I can do that again with the constipation. It was REALLY bad.

Anyway, baby is the size of an avacado. I don't like avacados, but my nephew Brayden sure does! I know that! Baby's hair, eyebrows and eyelashes are filling in and taste buds are forming. Baby also now has tiny bones in his/her ear, so hearing is starting to take place. I've read that baby can start to hear my voice and I've also read that it's more about the vibrations of the voice rather than the actual voice just yet. But, in a few more weeks my voice should definately be recognizable to baby. I think it takes a little bit longer for baby to hear anything in the outside world.

16 Weeks Pregnant

So I can finally say that next week is THE week! 9 days to go! I can't wait to find out who is in there! We could know NOW which is the hard part - the other doctor's office in town does the gender ultrasound at 16 weeks...mine won't do it till 17 or 18 weeks. I couldn't talk them into doing it earlier. It was the only battle I've lost so far with them. :) Oh well. We'll know soon enough I guess!
