Week 16 brought Mothers Day! I have to say, I was a bit sentimental and spent the day imagining what life will feel like a year from now. Mr. Fix-It and I spent a lot of time driving between familys homes, and all I could think about having a car seat behind me! I really cant wait to meet this little one.

Ive still been feeling great, and Im starting to wonder when Ill really feel pregnant. You know that bizarro show "I didnt know I was pregnant"? At 16 weeks, I could make an argument for those women. I feel completely like myself and dont have any strange symptoms, cravings, or feelings. Sure, Id probably have noticed that Im awfully thirsty lately, but that would also easily explain the frequent bathroom trips. Oh, and the belly. Its definitely growing, but not huge. In plenty of outfits when Im not standing sideways it really isnt obvious. Call me crazy, but Im still looking forward to feeling like Ive officially "popped". Ill report back when it happens. So, anyway, Im starting to understand how people could go a while and not realize that they were pregnant. However, getting to the point where youre actually popping out a kid is a totally different story. THAT is crazy town. How do you not know!?

This week also brought a major milestone. I finally told work about the baby! Im normally not such a weirdo - 16 weeks seems awfully long to wait to share - but the reality is that I was feeling anxious about anything going wrong and still wanted some privacy. Telling family is one thing, work felt like another. Granted, wed already share the news with facebook and the blog, so logic was clearly failing me. Everyone was excited and supportive, and the next phase meant planning with clients. But thats a different post for a different day. Or not. You know, HIPAA and all.
