4 Months

I decided to switch over to doing monthly updates instead of weekly. To be honest not much changes in a week or 2 with this pregnancy, and while we are working on getting back to a regular routine, this will be easier. So here we are at 3 months!




How far along: 16 weeks
Gender: Sweet baby girl!!!
Weight gain: I gained 2 lbs, lost 1 lb at last appointment.
Maternity clothes: Living in leggings and yoga pants. I can still wear my shirts but I can't tell you the last time I wore a pair of jeans.
Stretch marks: None
Belly button in or out: In
Emotions: The same as usual, until I went through Elliana's baby's clothes....
Sleep: Is pretty good at night, there are times where I still feel like I can't get enough of it though. 
Best moment this week: Bought the crib and went through Elliana's old baby clothes (Note: this can also go in Worst moment category due to me crying and missing Elliana that small...)
Worst moment this week: The worst moment for me was craving something so bad and not being able to get it... 
Miss anything: Not feeling like I wear the same thing all the time. 
Movement: Starting to feel the flutters, I swear last night she was working on her gymnastic moves. I could feel a flip, after flip. 
Cravings: My biggest craving right now is shrimp. Particularly boiled cajun shrimp from this cajun restaurant near where I grew up.  
Queasy or sick: Finally getting to where there's not much nausea, as long as I take medicine at bedtime I feel great in the mornings.
Looking forward to: Decorating the girls' room!

Also, I wanted to share with you all that we have picked out a name, and I have to share with you how it happened... We've been discussing baby names for a while, one name that I loved was Eva. It was my great Aunt's name and the meaning of is "Life", so I felt like it was perfect for our girl, except one thing... getting my husband on board. When we first started discussing baby names we couldn't agree on one, so I didn't know how he would like Eva Joy (always loved Joy as a middle name). Luckily when I brought it up he liked it and we agreed that would be the name yay! Well a few days ago while I was talking to Elliana about baby sister in my belly and that her name would be Eva, she says out of nowhere "No not Eva mommy, Evie" and I was stunned. I told Lucas when he got home and we were both like yes that is it! So with Elliana's help her little sister's name will be Evie Joy and we couldn't love it more. (:
