16 Weeks! (4 months for those of you that prefer months)

Chris' lovely editing! Thanks babe!
16 Weeks down! 24 to go!

Weight:  I've gained back all of the weight I had lost.  But I think that is mostly due to little sleep and unhealthy eating since I am back working.

Side effects:  I am always sleepy!! I could go to sleep at any time...even during my favorite shows!  I had to buy bigger underwear!  I haven't had morning sickness except for once or twice. 

Cravings:  I really crave cheddar and sour cream potato chips, cinnamon candies, peanut butter, mac and cheese! 

Food dislikes: I can't stand veggies! The thought of a salad makes me sick.  I used to not like chicken, but I'm back on it now! :)

Major struggle:  Sleeping!  I am trying to sleep on my left side to help with circulation, digestion, etc. Except I have and will always be a tummy sleeper.  So, I am tossing and turning most every night trying to get it right.  I need to invest in a pregnancy pillow and soon!!

Greatest excitement:  I think I started feeling the baby moving.  It only happens every once in a while, but I have started feeling a sudden flutter on the lower right side of my abdomen. :)
