Week 16

Ah!  It's been two weeks!!!!  Okay, it's bad practice to let a blog stay stagnant for so long, but give me a break.  I'm pregnant.

So what's been going on you ask?  Baby is now into week 16 which means it's the size of an avocado (4.5 inches or so head to rump, without the legs included), I apparently no longer fit into "normal" pants (fact), and now cry at many things including sentimental/emotional/sad/happy/other Facebook posts.  Turns out those pregnancy hormones are real. 

In other news, I have absolutely no immune system.  I say it again: absolutely. No. Immune. System.  If there is a bug or virus within a mile radius I feel like I get it, and it happened this week!  In Atlanta for a work meeting and I end up spending the night before it flip-flopping between chills and sweats, getting very little sleep, and "waking" up just feeling awful.  Thank god my work was okay to let me skip the meeting that day (I still feel horribly guilty for doing so mind you...Applen guilt) and flew me home early so I could crawl into bed and not move for more than 12 hours.  It's a cruel little joke that the time in your life when you're hypersensitive to everything going on with your body - what's that cramp, is that craving normal, I'm HUGE - is when you also get sick all the time. 

Anywho, so that's where things sit for now.  Also, going in for another ultrasound Monday morning and to have more labs (shocking).  I feel like they test for everything so often nowadays they're sure to find something to have you worried about, but I'll go into that at a later date...maybe after this round of bloodwork :)

Enough for now.  I'm going to eat pizza.
