Week 16, here we are! I was hoping things would be getting better and better as the weeks progressed, but that appears not to be the case. This week, for some reason, morning sickness returned (boo) and appetite decreased a little. Maybe next week I'll feel better? This week baby is almost 5 inches long, about the size of an avocado, or something along those lines. The other details that I have read about this week are not quite as interesting. Things like toe nails growing and scalp patterns forming... :)
As for me, still no weight gain (so still at -2 lbs from pre-pregnancy), and clearly this is due to lack of appetite. I have been horrible about exercising, although I am trying my best. I make myself feel better about it since my days at work with the babies involve quite a lot of walking and moving around and lifting/carrying those boys, which is plenty tiring. That counts as exercise, right? Plus if I were to exercise too much, I'd probably lose even more weight, and I'm not sure if that would be the best thing in the world at this point (or at least that's what I keep telling myself). I still don't think I'm showing though, I just sort of feel fat, which I'm not quite sure what that says since I've LOST weight, but we'll just blame it on the pregnancy anyway. One of the moms I work for told me that she didn't start to really show until she was 25 weeks pregnant! I don't think it will take that long for me, but really, what do I know?
I've been pretty good about not buying anything baby related since last week. Not to say that I haven't been looking, but no purchases were made so I'm sticking to my goal of no purchases until after February 12.

In other news, Mark and I have booked our very first vacation since moving to New Zealand. We have been trying to plan it for a while, and we figure we better go now while (1) there's sun (2) I'm not enormously pregnant (3) we don't have a baby in tow and (4) my parents offered to pay for it. So, I searched and searched, and we decided to venture up North to the Bay of Islands, and have a very relaxing, beachy, sunny (fingers crossed) vacation. We are only going for 3 days, but it will be wonderful! If you look below at the picture on the right, in the right corner above the trees, you can see 2 tall twin buildings... that's the resort we will be staying at. YAY! Right on the beach. And we're going Feb 13-15 so that's only a few weeks from now, so I won't have to be one of those hugely pregnant ladies in a bikini (not that I would ever be caught wearing a bikini in public while pregnant, oh no no no).
