16 weeks

FAT FEET! Lower limb swelling is no fun. I was sitting at the kitchen table for (apparently) too long. I had to soak my feet in cold water and then elevate them.
I am still feeling movement..whether it's gas or twitches I don't know. But I am pretty sure I felt the real deal this weekend while I was listening to some music. I've been having what I think are Braxton Hicks contractions. Things that I've read say it's possible to start having them now and I'm pretty dang sure that's what it is. All of a sudden my lower abdomen will harden and I start to feel a menstrual-like cramp. Thankfully it doesn't last long and it's not terribly painful, though it is uncomfortable.

4 more weeks until we find out what this baby is! I can't wait!

(Sorry for the dirty mirror..I'll try to clean it next time)

  1. I got my first BH at 16 weeks - it's totally possible! (and I was feeling movement around then too.) :)

    You look fabulous!

  2. I had BHs from early 2nd Tri until the very end. It sucks!!! They only get stronger and more annoying the farther you get.

    Oh and I LOVE the feet! So super sexy.

    And I started feeling twitches at 16weeks on the dot! :) So exciting!
