Week 16

 So. I got a cold/flu/allergies on steroids/something awful this week. 

Being sick while pregnant is no fun, but on the bright side Dr. Williams gave me the day off on Monday and I got to read a silly romance novel and day dream about regency times. :p 

And take like 7 naps. And still go to bed early. And still sleep through the night. Isn't that nuts? I never get sick of sleeping, which is occasionally problematic but I enjoy it anyway. ;)

According to my pregnancy app, baby is the size of an avocaodo: 4 1/2ish inches long and 3 1/2ish ounces. Baby is also starting to hear, so I have the urge to do cheesy things like sing primary songs in the car instead of listening to the radio. I can't decide if I'm more excited or more weirded out to start feeling this baby move. I think it'll be so awesome, and maybe make me feel more connected to this little human, and the other half of me thinks it's insane to try and comprehend how all this is possible and normal. Life is a crazy miracle.

I'm extra super loving maternity pants still. Maybe even more than before! All of my 'regular' shirts still seem to fit. Considering I spend 80% of my time in scrubs and or pajamas I feel as though all my shirts started out a size larger anyway. That's the plus of working at a medicalish establishment ladies and gents.

People are actually starting to think I look pregnant, so that's kinda cool! And we find out in two weeks what this baby is! (Eeek!) I'm really excited to see our little one look more like a baby this time around instead of the small jumping bean it was the first time we got an ultrasound. :p I don't even have any guesses anymore about what I think baby is. I've really just felt like she's a girl from day one. Don't ask me why, there is no rational reasoning behind that. The closer it gets to finding out, though, the more I'm kinda leaning toward a boy? But that could be wishful thinking? I just don't know anymore! What do you think? Let's start some guesses!

I've thought about just doing the pregnancy updates kind of in a general way so that I always have something to say instead of just rambling the same rambles every time. :)

-Cravings: Nacho cheese. (and I guess the chips to go with it ;) )

-Aversions: granola bars, as usual. But also we bought alfredo packets to make our own alfredo sauce... guys it's disgusting.

-Hardest part about this week: being sick and not being able to sleep the past couple of nights. I hate not being able to breathe. And feeling like my head's exploding. It's not fun. :(

-Best part about this week: I haven't been as urgently starving? :p Which means when I get comfortable at night to go to bed, my grumbling stomach isn't keeping me awake! (Hooray for sleep!)

Earlier this week/last week? I actually can't really remember, either way... earlier we saw some gorgeous sunsets and I finally got out my camera again! And on a night that Matt had to work, our neighbors Megan, Eric, Nikki and Jordan were outside playing badmitton so I went out to watch and visit and they brought out this HUGE ball! It was hilarious to watch the boys do all their tricks on it. (And run over eachother)

(P.S you should know there was no filter or editing of these pictures. 

Cedar City sunsets just rock that much.)

  Also, happy stinking Friday! I wish that meant I was done for the week, but tomorrow is another day of pharmacy. On the bright side I only have 7 more shifts! (I think)
