16 weeks

I have made it to 16 weeks pregnant! I am starting to feel pregnant, but many times I forget that I am. I can't wait to start feeling this baby move all the time. At least I will get that joy since I am constantly feeling awful. I am really grateful for this baby and I don't want to complain. But I am going to be honest about how I am feeling with these posts, the same way I am honest about all my other posts.
Here are some facts about this pregnancy.

I am constantly achy or some kind of sick.
I have maybe had two days since I found out I was pregnant that I have felt good.
I am having issues with high blood pressure with this pregnancy, I have never had high blood pressure before.
I have gotten a bassinet, a swing, a high chair, and a diaper genie all for free for this baby. So grateful!We have not bought anything else for the baby yet I think we are waiting on the gender test.
I am feeling very different with this pregnancy than with Joslyn. Everything is different.
Joslyn is finally starting to acknowledge that there is a baby in mommy's tummy.
I have lots of dreams all the time, vivid and wilder than normal.
I have had cravings for black-eyed peas, beef stroganoff, but I really have more trouble with getting nauseaous on lots of other foods.
I can't stand the smell of pancakes, beef cooking, strong coffee scents, and John's favorite garlic dipping sauce.
I am still so very tired even though I am into my second trimester. I sleep a lot when I can.
I am feeling like this baby is a boy.
We have first names picked out but are still deciding on middle names. We will not announce the name until a specified time.
Because of my heftiness I have always looked pregnant, I feel very justified now actually being pregnant. :)
My baby is the size of an avacado right now.
I am very moody and emotional right now.
I am looking forward to my 18 week appointment so I can ask the doctor lots of questions. And then my gender test ultrasound.
I am not looking forward to the cleaning out of Joslyn's closets and our closets to purge and make room for new baby.
I am excited to be posting something because I haven't felt up to doing much of anything.
I love you guys and your comments make my day!


Okay so that is what is going on with my pregnancy, I hope to be updating you guys pretty often with updates on how we are doing. I hope you guys will share with me how you are doing.
