16 weeks

Well, I've been a little lazy this month and haven't gotten around to posting an update on the baby. I'm currently almost 18 weeks but these are my 16 week pictures.

16 Week Status:
Weight 124
Only minor symptoms like:
Headaches & Cramps (ligaments stretching)

No major symptoms or problems

I have finally decided to go buy me some maternity pants. My belly has outgrown most of my regular pants to the point of not just leaving them unbuttoned but unzipped as well. So although i do have a few larger pants that i can still wear, i'm running low and decided to take the plunge to be comfortable.




Baby Carlton did not cooperate as well in these pictures. But i have noted the parts.
