Update...I Guess?

I know. I said that I would try to blog weekly, or at least every two weeks. But, that just hasn't happened. Honestly, I haven't blogged because I just haven't felt like it, to be frank. When you blog you're supposed to be cheerful and excited. I have not been cheerful and excited. Ive been incredibly  depressed. The baby is fine. Let me say that. Im currently 16 weeks now. My family just has been going through a horrible time. It all started with us putting our house on the market and everything kind a went downhill from there. I don't really want to blog about it all, cuz its an incredibly long story. But, long story short, we were able to sell the house, lost out on a lot of money, and because we lost a lot of money we have been struggling ever since. Financially, we're at rock bottom. After searching for weeks, and living in an Air BnB for the last month, we have finally found a house to move into. On top of that I have been sick; pregnancy sick, allergies, sinus infections, bronchitis, asthma issues. My kids have driven me to a point to where I am now terrified at the idea of having another baby. But.....yea thats just too late. Sigh. Its been another horrible summer for us. All of our plans, once again , in the drain. Im incredibly sick of feeling like the rug has been swept out from under my feet. It's been like that for so long and I NEED a break. A good break. A happy break. Well, I feel like if I keep typing, this post will become depressing. Thats what I didn't want . SO lets talk about the baby.

How far along?   16 weeks 

How big is the peanut?    The size of an avocado 

Total weight gain/loss?   10 lbs 

Maternity clothes?  No not yet. I have a lot of loose summer clothing so thats been helpful  so far. I definitely can't button up my pants so have had to wear a belly band around my waist

Sleep? ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. Im already so uncomfortable that sleeping has become bad. I have GERD and horrible indigestion so I cannot lay down . I have to sleep basically sitting up, or I will wake up feeling like my food is in my throat ready to come out if I so much as gag

Morning sickness?  Yep. Its not consistently bad or consistently good, but its definitely there. It comes at all different times. But, I can say that I do feel like Im controlling it pretty well. I havent thrown up at all. But, it makes eating horrible and since I have to eat every 1.5..well...its just  no fun

Best moment this week?  Um........lets get back to that one

Symptoms?  Exhaustion, morning sickness, tender boobs, fire nipples, round ligament pain, hip pain, insomnia, increased appetite but no appetite,

Food cravings?  Canteloupe, soul food, donuts, Milky Way (Midnight) candy bar, Sweet Tea 

Food aversions?   Ground beef.

Gender?  We have an idea but won't tell just yet

Labor signs?   No, but at around 3 months I started having Braxton Hicks. Already smh. I usually get them around 4.5 /5 months pregnant. I am a little surprised that they've come this early. 

Belly button in or out?  In. pretty flat right now

Movement? Yep. Pretty sure I am feeling flutters. Started around 15 weeks

What I miss? Everything about not being pregnant lol

What I'm looking forward to?   Moving into the new house so I can start prepping for a new baby


I am not sure when I'll be able to update again. It depends on when and how soon we'll get internet in the new place


Here's a  pic I took at 12 weeks

Here is another one I found. I want to say this one was taken at 14..Maybe 15 weeks
