starting to show

I can't believe I am already 16 weeks pregnant! This whole process has been so surreal... over the past couple weeks my belly has started to grow and its feeling more real. I swear every morning I wake up and freak out cause I feel bigger and bigger, so crazy. I can't believe there is a baby growing inside me. At first all these changes really freaked me out cause I could feel it stretching and all this pressure that would make me sick. I lost 1o lbs in the first couple months because of lack of appetite so I'm happy to finally be feeling better and I'm enjoying the process now. Its been fun to read all the prego books and find out how much our baby has developed every week. Its amazing.
Scotty has been the best supportive husband during the past 4 months. My morning sickness came at night and luckily I only threw up a couple times but I had really bad cramping and unfortunately I still have trouble sleeping so I'm always exhausted. Scottys been there for me with anything that I needed.. back/foot massages, whatever food I was craving (mostly sprite and salty foods), and sleeping on the couch when I needed the whole bed to be surrounded by pillows. He has had to be patient with me when I bursts of energy and want to go out and then an hour later I'm feeling terrible and wanna go to bed. Our date nights have been a lot of take out and movie nights. I'm lucky to have an almost doc hubs that knows whats going on when I get my paranoid concerns. He couldn't be more excited about my growing belly and is looking forward to delivering our baby.
I'm supposed to double in size between now and 20 weeks- My torso is so short that this baby is going to make me huge. Luckily I can wear scrubs to work! I've got bio oil, maternity jeans, cute preg tops, and the best maternity bra... I'm ready  :)

  1. Hi Chelsey, I saw your comment on facebook and came over to see how you are doing. You look so cute! I'm sorry that the morning sickness has been rough. Are you starting to feel better? I am pregnant again and also 16 weeks! My due date is June 21. We just started telling people at Christmas so it is still not feeling quite real. I alternate between feeling like this is the right time and everything is wonderful and feeling like "what in the world am I doing being pregnant with my 3rd kid when I'm only 26?" Anyway, good luck and take care! I haven't updated my blog since halloween but you are welcome to send me a message on facebook or email: jmfwells@gmail.com.
