16 WEEKS

How far along:
16 weeks

Baby growth:
Baby Murray is now about the size of an avocado (11.6 centimetres long from crown to rump and weighing 100 grams).

Symptoms:
Feeling great this week. I have had a few twinges on the back of my upper legs which I hope is not the start of sciatica!

Total weight gain/loss:
I've been really good this week and weight gain is now sitting at 5.7kg total.

Maternity clothes?
Wearing them and larger clothes non stop! I am all for comfort.

Stretch marks?
See previous weeks comments - since it's baby no. 4 no chance of escaping!

Sleep:
Have been sleeping well this last week.

What I miss:
My little clothes LOL

Movement:
Still feeling "bubbles" but no kicks yet!

Exercise this week:
I've done 2 x 5km runs and 2 x 5km walks. Going to do another walk tomorrow morning, and probably on Friday morning too. Planning on doing a stairs session or Park Run on Saturday morning too.

Food cravings:
Veggies this week which is a good sign.

Have you started to show yet:
Definitely! In some things though I just look like I have been eating a bit of chocolate LOL!

Gender:
No idea - will know at our next scan which is 24 September, I can't wait!

Questions or concerns this weeks:
Nothing!

Baby Buys:
I have been checking out the Buy Swap & Sell pages on Facebook and was stoked to get some really good bargains. They were as follows:

Brand New Grotime Patsy Bassinet for $150 (RRP $250)

Brand new still in the box Fisher Price Rainforest Cradle Swing for $120 (RRP $249).

So pretty happy with my purchases!!!

I am heading to Target tomorrow to pay some money off my baby lay-by, and hopefully lay-by a High chair if the one I want is there. I really like the look of the Childcare Fizz High Chair, as it is basic, and has removable pad which I love.. as I remember how disgusting our highchairs got with the twins - so the simpler and easier to clean the better. It is also a bargain price at only $39. This is the one I am after:



I have also managed to find the capsule I am after on the buy swap sell website which has only been used for a few months (but still in as new condition) for $200 (which is amazing as RRP is $450), so just have to wait for the seller's new carseat to arrive, and I will pick it up. This is the carseat I am after, as it fits onto my Bugaboo Cameleon which will be such a novelty compared to my semi trailer pram and old capsules with the twins, and Isabel.

I have been looking at what carseat to get for the baby for after the capsule. This one looks great and is on sale at Target this week for only $149.

I would also love a Glider and ottoman for the nursery, so have been looking for them... not sure if I will actually use it, as we had one with the twins I never used. Thinking with only one baby I might be more inclined to use it!
