Week 16 Bumpdate

Week 16Week 16 Bumpdate

 

size of the baby: Avocado – 4.6 inches

 

total weight gain: 5 pounds (i weighed myself at a friends house this week… we may need a scale soon)

 

gender: Still unknown, but we find out in two weeks and I am so excited!!! Counting down…

 

maternity clothes: I still have just two pairs of jeans that I am mixing in with my normal jeans (+ bellyband). I need to invest in some more soon, my normal jeans are just so uncomfortable.

 

movement: Still feeling a little movement every few days, I can’t wait to really feel it a lot and for Kevin to be able to feel it.

 

sleep: I slept a lot better this week. Some dreams but not as many as the past few weeks.

 

missing: um… nothing that I can think of

 

craving: thanksgiving food!

 

symptoms:  Still breaking out like crazy. I haven’t been nauseous that much this week, but it’s still hanging around.

 

kevin is: about to be old next week. His birthday is right around the corning and think he is just as excited as me about Thanksgiving.

 

looking forward to: Our next appointment! Plus, one of my best friends is having a baby shower next weekend and I am really excited to see her.

 

best moments: Getting to see our family for the Holiday and road tripping with Kevin! I always have a great time when I get to spend long days with him.

  • 🍕✨These mini pizzas are a total lifesaver for busy school nights and the whole family LOVES them. 

I cut my pizza dough into 12 pieces, pre-bake in a muffin tin, then top with pizza sauce, mozzarella, and mini pepperonis—but let everyone pick their own toppings! 

🧀🍅Pop them back in the oven for 6-8 mins and boom…easy, delicious, family-friendly dinner ready in no time.

💡Tip: Perfect for quick weeknight meals, kids’ dinners, or even party snacks!

  • Girls day done RIGHT💕✨

We went to see Reminders of Him at @reelluxurycinemas last week and wow… what an experience.

From the moment we sat down, it felt like pure luxury—heated reclining seats, cozy blankets, and an elevated menu that made it feel more like a night out than just a movie 🍿 🥂

And the movie… SO good. Definitely a tear-jerker—bring tissues because you will need them🤣💔

The perfect mix of comfort, good food, and all the emotions. 10/10 girls day 💗
