Sort of forgot to do my 15 week update, sooooo I'll include my mini 15 week update with this week's 16 week one.
AT 15 WEEKS:
How I (was) feeling: Pretty good, although feeling a lot larger these days. Pretty much done with morning sickness, unless I have an empty or totally overfull stomach, and then I do not feel so great.
Movement: Some days I swear I'm feeling the baby, but then when I try and lay still and really wait to feel it again...nothing. So maybe it's real, maybe I'm dreaming. You'd think I'd know for sure, ya know, second time around and all.
Weight gain this week: 1 pound
Total weight gain: 4 pounds
Cravings: salads!
Aversions: none.
Worst part of the week: Trying to shop for some maternity shirts and they are all just plain awful (or way overpriced!!)
Best part of the week: Getting to see the little baby bug 2.0 on the ultrasound again at my doctor's appointment! It never gets old. :)

16 WEEKS:
How I'm feeling: Good! I don't feel like I need a nap every single day, but if I don't take a nap, I need to be in bed by like 9pm. Riley wears me out! I would say morning sickness is mostly gone, although the gag reflex is still pretty strong, and I remember that sticking around for quite a while last time, so I don't see that going away any time soon.
Movement: Same as last week- I think I feel it, but it's pretty faint, and not that frequent yet.
Cravings: sushi again, bell peppers, cilantro vinaigrette salad dressing, guacamole, and pizza
Aversions: Meaty pizza (sausage, pepperoni, etc)
Weight gain this week: 1 pound
Total weight gain: 5 pounds
Exercise: I went for a run this week! Well, I wouldn't call it a run, more of a slow jog, but it felt really good to be out and exercising, even though I was really sore afterwards. Definitely inspired to continue this trend for as long as I'm comfortable! With Riley I ran until around 20-22 weeks (can't remember exactly) and then stuck to just walking after that. So if I can get a few more weeks of running in that would be great!
Best part of the week: Two things. (1) Our fabulous family vacation to Tahoe with my parents! Lots of fun, totally worth it! And (2) my arm FINALLY feels almost normal from my blood draw a few weeks ago!
