16 weeks...and counting!

Happy 16 weeks to Baby Sessler (and to mom...and to dad for that matter!). Here I am, 16 weeks pregnant. Whats with the cheer pose...I don't know?! I must have had a slight flashback or something and of course the man behind the camera (ROB!) didn't say "why the cheer pose?!!!" Haha! I'll have to practice these belly pictures. And yes, I am wearing the same outfit that I wore in my 12 week picture so that it's a perfect comparison...and that's pretty much my best "going out outfit" right now that is comfortable and cute...so I've been wearing it a lot!
So let's see...nothing much different from 12 weeks to 16 weeks. I think the biggest difference is that I haven't had a good nights sleep in a long time now. And I know you will all say "get used to it! You won't be sleeping for a very long time" but I just want one good nights sleep...I swear! First of all, I have ALWAYS been a stomach sleeper. I can not fall asleep unless I am on my stomach. Well, I sadly have said good-bye to the days of sleeping on my stomach, so now I must adjust to falling asleep and staying put on my side! Also, I think the baby is having growth spurts at night. During the day I have no problems...but at night it feels like I have big rubber bands stretching to their max throughout my stomach. My best friend Christy warned me about these pains...but oh how I should have taken them more seriously! :) And I think the worst part is tossing and turning ALL night long while Rob is snoring away---haha! Also, it has been about 110 degrees here the past week or so and at night it is hardly cooling off. I have NEVER needed the air conditioner down to 77 degrees at night...but now I do! Baby Sessler is keeping me mighty warm...I guess he or she doesn't realize it is 110 outside and I don't need to be kept warm! However, since I am usually always cold in the winter, I am looking forward to the luxury of having my own personal heater inside of me for the winter months!
We are also getting very excited because now it is less than 2 weeks from our Kauai trip with my parents to celebrate my mom's retirement! I can't wait to spend a week in Hawaii...and yes, my doctor said it's perfectly okay, so nobody has to worry. It will be a Mai-tai-less Hawaiian vacation for me...but I am preparing to eat all the yummy tropical smoothies and shaved ice on the island! Can you believe Baby Sessler is going to Kauai before he or she is even born??!! This is one lucky kid! :)
Enjoy the cheer picture with a bump....hahaha!!!
