This is a little late this week, but it has been a busy week.

16 weeks pregnant!

I am three weeks into the second trimester and I am starting to show a little. I have a little bump that is more obvious now! It has been fun to sport cute shirts that show my little baby bump! I do have a little head cold due to the lovely hormones making everything crazy right now, but I am really so happy to be pregnant that I don’t care (until I am trying to sleep). The tiredness of the first trimester is over! I am proud to report that although I wanted small meals, I only had two days during the first trimester that I was ill! Way to go Sprout!

Baby is growing this week too! Sprout has eyelids and eyelashes! Sprout probably weighs around 1/4 of a lb. Sprout’s backbone and back muscles are getting stronger. But, Sprout doesn’t have cute body fat yet. Because of that, I have to eat a little every 2-3 hours to keep Sprout happy since Sprout cannot store energy. Such is life. I am all about eating!

I am going shopping this weekend for some pregnant interview clothes. I have less than one week to finish preparation for my post-doc interview. Its all a little crazy to think that I will actually be done at some point. I finally see the tunnel! The light at the end will come a little later. I am just glad I can see the tunnel.
