Welcome!
Please, grab a cup of coffee and make yourself at home! I'd love to hear from you so please leave a comment or send me a message at mymessynest {at} gmail {dot} comIf I was to get a tattoo, this will be my inspiration.
Don’t worry guys, I’ll wait till AFTER the baby. You, know so it doesn’t get stretched out….
Sorry for the lack of posting…the last couple times I have tried my internet browser likes to freeze and then crash. It’s my fault though. I haven’t kept up with my OS updates. I hope to get that resolved soon!
Anyway…here we are now! (I think they are referring to a large Hass avocado in the picture.)

Watch what you say… tiny bones forming in baby’s ears mean the little one can now pick up your voice. Eyebrows, lashes and hair are starting to fill in, and taste buds are forming. And, if you’re interested, an ultrasound might be able to determine gender.
How far along: 16 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: not sure…I was the same a few weeks ago. I go tomorrow for an appt though.
Maternity clothes: Maternity pants…and a couple shirts. It is hard to find maternity shirts I am willing to wear.
Stretch marks: nope.
Sleep: Sleeping fine. I got a Boppy Maternity pillow and it is awesome. I highly recommend it.
Best moment this week: I think I’ve got energy again.
Movement: Yes, I started feeling some on Thursday or Friday.
Food cravings: nothing in particular
Gender: we could technically find out now but our OB doesn’t do it until 20 weeks….boo on her! haha. We are learning patience I suppose.
Labor Signs: nope
Belly Button in or out: in
What I miss: nothing really
What I am looking forward to: finding out what we are having!
Milestones: movement and feeling pretty good.
Also for you learning pleasure…did you know they measure the baby from head to butt until 20 weeks, then they measure from head to heel. So…around 20 weeks there is a big jump in size in the way they measure.

My dad sent me this. What is going on?
