16 weeks (pregnancy update)

Well, I cannot believe I am already 16 weeks pregnant. I am really bad at documenting my pregnancies, and feel like maybe I should get a move on with this one, considering it will be my LAST pregnancy. I am feeling pretty good, however, major fatigue has seemed to set in, which is very uncharacteristic of the second trimester. I think it has something to do with the heat and chasing my two crazies around all day. We find out the sex of this baby on August 11, and we are very much looking forward to knowing. Jeff keeps wanting to talk about names, but I won't even go there until I know if this is a boy or a girl. We have many, many girl names we have always liked, so that would be easy, but if it were a boy-I am going to have to buy a name-book. I am not really feeling much movement, which I was hoping I would by now, but do realize it is still early. They say that with each pregnancy, you are likely to feel it earlier, but doesn't seem to be the case with this baby. The heart-rate seems to have settled around 140 (which is where both boys were), so take it for what it's worth on if heart-rate predicts gender. Here is a 16 week belly-pic.

Look at that teeny tiny belly! I am so glad to hear everything is going so well! I will have to get your address because if it is a girl...you are going to get a big package from me! :)

Your bump is too incredibly cute! And I can't believe you're already 16 weeks! Your big u/s is just around the corner! YAY!

And I totally agree about the random 2nd trimester exhaustion. Mine was the worst from like 13/14 weeks until like 18. But yeah, I think it's more the summer heat and chasing/entertaining 2 kiddos! Totally!
