Baby Scheller #3- 16 weeks

Too tired to take pictures tonight, but will tomorrow! 

How Far along: 16 weeks (April 23-30)

Baby's size:An avacado 4-5 inches long, around 3.5 ounces

Weight loss/gain: 1.5 lbs or so

Sleep: Waking up to go to the bathroom about once a night.

Gender: Don't know yet.

Movement: I felt (or am like 95% sure) that I felt Shim this week.  After I thought I did,  I laid down on my side to see if it happened again, and it did! I think it was Sunday.

Best Moment of this week: I got to see baby for a couple minutes at my appointment! : ) More on that below.

Looking Forward: Dr appt on Wednesday, April 29th.

Food cravings: Chinese food! We made some of the box stuff from the store, but it wasn't as good as what I wanted.

Anything making you feel sick or queasy: Just a couple nights this week I've felt sick around bedtime.  Zach laughs at me because I will tell him, if I just lay here really still and fall asleep, I won't know that I feel sick.  Then I feel fine in the morning.  I've pretty much resolved that I'm not going to take any more zofran unless I am dying, because taking it makes some things worse than just throwing up. Haha.

Symptoms: I've been overdoing it packing up things/ carrying things and Reid, and I think this has attribute to some round ligament pain.  I am especially feeling it today.

Dr. Appt: I had my appointment on Wednesday, first thing in the morning.  I was so happy and surprised when my Dr pulled out a hand held ultrasound machine and used that to check on baby.  She also told me she was going to try and see if she could sneak a peek in between baby's legs, and I got a little excited because I thought it would be such a good surprise for Zach.  She tried, but since Shim is their father's child, they were difficult and would NOT cooperate and move the way we needed him/her to. I did get to see baby's cute little head, beautiful spine, and long looking femur! 

Workouts: Not so much! I have a hard time working out inside. I do much better when I can walk up and down the driveway.

What I miss: I miss the sunshine and being able to play outside.  I also miss going to stores and shopping! (Darn you, Covid 19 virus.) 

Things that stink: Not having a lot of energy

Things that don't stink:  Getting to see baby.  It was the highlight of my week!  Also, I got to have chick fil a for lunch one day and breakfast today!  It was so yummy!

Labor signs?: nope

Mama's Thoughts: I'm starting to believe that I'm moving into the "sweetness" of the 2nd trimester.  I was so relieved to see baby again this week.  I still worry about how Shim is doing in there so seeing him/her moving all around was exactly what I needed!

Daddy's Thoughts: Zach was so excited for me that I got to see baby, but admitted as we were laying in bed that night he was sad he didn't get to! I reminded him that in 4 weeks at our anatomy scan he will though!

Baby: Doing well!

Valentine's Day and the Quickest Weekend Ever

Valentine's morning I treated myself to a heart-shaped chicken biscuit from Chick-fil-a.  They were BOGO free AND I got a survey for a free chicken sandwich.  That in and of itself made my day! : )                                                       Friday evening Zach and I tried to go out for Valentine's Day.  We thought we were early enough to beat the rush, but it turned out we weren't.   We ended up going back home with a quick stop through Donut Bank to get dessert and then we had a DiGiorno pizza and watched the Olympics.  Can you feel the romance? Haha.                                                                                                     Yummy Whoopie Pie!                                                                                          My Valentine! Saturday morning began gloriously at 9:20 a.m. It seems like it's been forever since I slept that late, but it was wonderful!  I met my friend, Jennifer, and he

Christmas Eve

Our Christmas festivities started with Zach's family on Christmas Eve!  We opened presents and ate!  I'll let the pictures do most of the talking!  As you can see, Christmas is so more magical when there are little ones to spoil! : ) Mrs. Claus house shoes from Nana and Poppy!  Mmmmm, paper!  We got Zach's dad a long magnet on wheels.  We hope he liked it!! Haha, it was one of those gifts that was more of a necessity I think!  She was excited!  We are glad she liked it!  We got Zach's mom a record player that is a 5-in-1 system!  Isaiah's sweater we got him!  Its pockets are in the shape of monkey hands too, so I couldn't resist how cute it was!  He is a cute little monkey too!  Book set from us!  Love If You Give A Mouse.... series!  He is saying. "Ohhh, paper!  I love that!"  Make-up set from us!  He looooved the paper!  Isaiah opening his Leap Frog laptop from us!  He lik

Ten on Thursday

1. Zach is on Spring Break this week! Even if it is just from his one class, we still enjoyed it! I actually got to have him with me all last night! 2. I am almost done with my first week in third grade. So far, so good! The kids seem to really like me and I'm becoming rather fond of them as well! 3. I was working out last night and accidentally kicked Nellie in the side of her head. She is okay, but Zach may still be dying of laughter! I felt awful and was trying to pick her up as she was trying to scurry away from me. She must have thought I did it intentionally! Poor baby! She got lots of hugs and kisses after that though! 4. We have kept our sink free of dirty dishes for over a week now! This may not sound like such a feat, but trust me, when you don't have a dishwasher, it is! 5. Tomorrow is the "Spring Fling" carnival at my school. I am going to help set it up after school, which should be fun! 6. Warrick County School Corporation announced this past week that t
