Bump Day Baby #2 - Week 16 & 17

16 weeks + 1 day on the beach in Jamaica

• Too busy last week to post about week 16 since we left on Wed for Jamaica. I didn't even take a belly photo so I'm documenting one from the beach.
• Just like with my pregnancy with Turner, I won't be weighing myself in between doctor appointments...we do have a scale now but the battery died and I am far too busy to even think about changing it ;) So with that, I am up 5-6lbs probably.
• Busted out and washed all maternity clothes. Went shopping for a pair of maternity jeans. My frugal side couldn't spend the $40 on them so I bought a size up in the low waist skinny jeans that were only $10 that fit perfect because they sit low enough below my expanding waistline.
• I swear I thought I felt movement Monday morning, but I think it was just gas pains..haha
• I think I officially felt movement while in Jamaica. The first night we were there I thought I felt something but I convinced myself it was gas pains or air bubbles. But the next night, I felt it again and this time I was not gassy or backed up (TMI?...who cares) so I know for sure it was the baby and it felt amazing!!!
• So I am in full fledged tax season and working 70 hour weeks. Luckily it hasn't been a problem yet in the sleep department and my 6.5 hours a night is doing just fine.
• We still are not planning on finding out the gender but all the Jamaican's told me it's a boy by the shape of my belly and how I am carrying. I already am convinced it's a boy so if it's a girl, I will be SO SURPRISED! One Jamaican told me girl...but only 1 out of about 20 that said something.
• Now if I ask Turner where his baby is, he lifts up my shirt. It's so cute and I just love randomly asking him.
• Still getting enough sleep (well enough to get me through my work days which is 6.5 hours). Can't wait for tax season to end so I can enjoy more sleep.
• Had a ton of fun in Jamaica with my family. My sister's wedding was great and I'm sad we are already back. I do love being back to my normal routine, but hate the cold and long hours I'm currently working.
• Bought my first nursery item for the new baby. It is a wooden carving of a giraffe from Jamaica. I plan to incorporate animals into the gender neutral nursery so it's perfect.
