Pregnancy Update and First Belly Pictures!

Today I am 16 weeks pregnant!  Baby Shack is the size of a large avocado now.  In three weeks we will have our anatomy scan and find out if we are having a boy or girl.  That will be a super fun day!  I am officially a few weeks into my second trimester but my first trimester symptoms have really hung around for a few extra weeks.  I still have days where I get tired and sleepy but I can tell I am finally pulling out of the first trimester fog.  When I was pregnant with Lena I didn't take very many belly pictures.  I didn't even look pregnant until I was in my third trimester.  My belly is finally popping a tiny bit now..barely...  Here are two pictures to compare:
6 weeks - 189 Pounds
16 weeks - 194 pounds
If not to compare my belly size I can at least use them to keep track of my weight.  With my last pregnancy I gained about 50-60 pounds (and I only made it to 36 weeks).  So far I have gained five pounds through the first sixteen weeks.  At my OB appointment a few weeks ago I got the okay to get back to exercise.  Hopefully I can make some wiser choices with my food and exercise this time around so I don't have to work so long and hard to lose my baby weight this time.
