Baby P Bumpdate.

Well, I guess it's probably time I start keeping track of this pregnancy so this baby doesn't feel left out. I kept up with my pregnancy with Knox almost weekly. This one, not so much! So here is my first attempt...here at 16 weeks. Oops?

It's so funny: I was not overly anxious when I was pregnant with Knox, but this one has been so much different. I really haven't worried too much about anything. As in, Clayton had to remind me around eight weeks to call and make a doctor's appointment. I know it's not my first rodeo, but it still makes me laugh. We've always joked that if you are less cautious with your second and so on, our second will be near neglected because we never worried about anything with Knox!

This pregnancy has been the complete and total opposite of Knox's. My first pregnancy was SO easy. Almost too easy. I was never sick, had no complications, nothing. Take a 180 degree turn, and that's where we are with this one. I was so so SO sick for the first few weeks. It was absolutely miserable and I now feel sorry for all of you with morning sickness that I silently judged because I really just thought you were being a wuss. Please accept my heartfelt, sincere apology. Seriously. This ain't no joke. My sickness is mostly gone at this point, but making myself eat is a different story. I know I'm not eating enough, but I do my best to strategically pick foods to eat that are going to benefit baby/me the most. You know, like potato chips and ice cream. To say it's been a rough ride so far is an understatement. I really do try not to complain, though. I have a healthy, growing baby and there isn't much more I could ask for.

How far along? 16 weeks today!
Maternity clothes? Ha. I wish. With all the weight I've lost from sickness, they are all still way too big! I actually had to go buy SMALLER pants recently. Craziness.
Sleep: I've had a hard time sleeping ever since I was pregnant with Knox. Even with my exhaustion, I still wake up a lot during the night! I'm still able to sleep on my stomach, so that helps. I imagine as this baby grows and I can't sleep like that anymore, sleep will go out the window!
Missing anything? I would give my right arm for a margarita!
Food Cravings: I will crave things randomly, but there isn't anything I've craved a lot of. I have loved some dill pickles. Oh, and fried chicken. What the heck? I don't even LIKE chicken!
Gender: Hopefully we will find out within the next month!
Movement? I have just started feeling the baby "flutters" this week! Love it!
Mood: I feel like I should just constantly apologize to everyone around me. I don't think I've really been moody, but I just feel useless and out of it all the time because I've felt so bad!
Looking forward to: Finding out what Baby P is so that he/she can have a name!

I know this picture is dark, but it was the best I could do for today! I'm sure if you notice the head poking in at the bottom of the picture you'll understand why!
