How far along? 16 weeks! I am officially 4 months pregnant! When I first got my BFP, it seemed like it would take FOREVER to make it to 4 months (I was almost 4 weeks when I found out I was pregnant). Now that I'm here, it seems like it flew by! I'll really relax once I hit 6 months though...
Total weight gain/loss: Still in the negative, I'm going to get the official report from the doctor on Thursday.
Sleep: I've been able to stay up later. Yay me!!! And my husband and I actually do activities together now. I even ran some errands after work, before I'd never be able to do that, I was a complete zombie. It feels good to have more energy.
Food cravings: Cheeseburgers. I think I've had four this week. I crave them so badly that I can taste them, and then I HAVE to get some. I went to the drive-thru at White Castle yesterday and ate 4 cheeseburgers before I even made it to the stoplight. Which you can see from the drive-thru window.... I had to laugh at myself.
Best moment this week: Feeling Bunny move!! I now feel it everyday, it feels like popcorn is popping in my tummy. My other best moment was finally deciding on names. We'll be prepared when we find out the gender. Sorry, but we're not sharing yet! Stay tuned, the big name reveal will probably take place with the gender reveal.
Movement: Yes!! Finally! I've been waiting for this since day one. Now I can't wait for my husband to be able to feel from the outside.
Labor Signs: No thank you.... I did have a scare on Friday where I my back was aching and I was having some cramping. I left work early and went home to meet my husband. We were going to take a trip to the ER to get checked out but thankfully all the pain stopped. I was able to find the heartbeat and wasn't bleeding, so the nurse at my doctors office told me I probably over did it at work (which I did) and was experiencing round ligament pain (which I was, and still have). It was SO scary though, I'm so glad that everything is okay.
Gender: Still thinking boy, we'll find out for sure in a two weeks!!! I've booked a private ultrasound just in case my doctor doesn't schedule me until 20 weeks.
Belly Button in or out? It's in, and I don't think it's coming out for a LONG time.
What I miss: Being able to do things without feeling run down and out of breath.
What I am looking forward to: Finding out the gender!!! I have SO many wishlists scattered around the internet, I can't wait to actually purchase some things.
Milestones: 4 months pregnant!!!!!!!!!!! I'm completely over the moon excited!
Weekly wisdom: Get some rest. I learned that just because I didn't really "feel" pregnant, that doesn't mean that I can still go at the pace that I used to. I'm learning how to kick my feet up and relax.

Congratulations on 16 weeks! It sounds so official!I REALLY hope I feel baby bean soon!
It's only 9:15am but a cheeseburger sounds AMAZING!
Thanks Samantha!
Wow! Feeling moment is the best, isn't it? Trust me- it gets better as they get bigger and you are further along. It's one of the things I miss most about being pregnant.
Also- don't fret about the initial weight less. Same thing happened with me. And from what I can tell you are also slender to begin with. As long as you are eating well, all is good. (At least that is what my Dr told me)
I'm so happy that you are feeling movement (for sure) now. Congrats on getting to 4 months. Good to hear that you are getting your energy back.
