Baby #3 - 16 Weeks

Well Hello!!

Long time no talk?  Surprise, Baby #3 on the way and I'm already 4 months along.  For some reason we didn't share the news so early this time.  This pregnancy will probably be our last and unfortunately so far it's been our most dramatic. I currently have a subchorionic hematoma, which means there is a bleed between the placenta and the amniotic sac (i think).  I won't get into the details, but to make a long story short, I had some bleeding and it was pretty scary for a few days.

As of now, baby is doing absolutely great. Growing well and the hematoma doesn't seem to be affecting the pregnancy much. All it is affecting is my emotions and my brain power. It's made me quite cautious and scared and I'm hoping it's gone by my next ultrasound so I can finally relax and enjoy this pregnancy as much as possible.

The only good thing is we have had the chance to see the baby much more and we were even able to see the gender at our last scan. Hello BABY GIRL!!!! :)

How far along: 16 weeks 4 day
Total weight gain/loss: 3 - 5 lbs
Maternity clothes: Wearing maternity pants all the time and pretty much shirts all the time as well. I can squeeze into a regular shirt every now and again, but it's much better if I just stick with maternity wear.
Sleep: Sleep isn't too bad. I pee at least once a night, sometimes twice, but DH got me a pregnancy pillow early this time so sleep has been very comfortable for the most part so far.
Best moment this week: Best moment was having a few impromptu dates with Hubby. We went to see Justice League (which was amazing) and the Sixers Game. 
Movement: I think I can feel a little bubble in there every now and again, but impatiently waiting to feel actual kicks. 
Food cravings: I crave different things every other minute of the day. Currently cold things are my friends and really juicy fruits. 
Labor Signs: nope.
Belly Button in or out: innie.
What I miss: Wine to help me relax after a stressful day!
What I am looking forward to: Feeling baby move.
Weekly Wisdom: Relax and Enjoy! - I'm working on it!
