16 weeks- Baby Bump

Mon, Jan 11th- 16 weeks
This week I officially switched into maternity clothes!  I had been trying to wear my old jeans and fastening them with hair rubber bands and then using a belly band, but it just wasn't comfortable.  The band had to be adjusted all the time and it kept riding up.  Elastic waisted pregnancy pants are much more comfortable! I have also been sporting some maternity tops, but continue to wear some of my older ones too.  Thanks to family and friends I am looking very fashionable in my new and new-to-me outfits.  I have not bought myself so many new things, ever, so it is refreshing to have so many new things to wear in my dresser.  I also went through and purged many of my old clothes and sent them to Goodwill or to the upper confines of my closet to make room for all this new stuff.
I have gained only 5 pounds, even after Christmas, so I think at this rate I'm on track not to gain over the 25 pounds alotted to my by my doctor.
This week, according to my pregancy books, I should not be lying on by back anymore, unless propped up.  I was able to prevent myself from sleeping on my belly quiet easy, but this has been brutal.  I toss and turn and by hips just ache. I've tried sleeping on my back with several pillows behind me but I can't seem to get comfortable.  We hated our bed before, but I'm about ready to light it on fire! Don't know how I'm going to make it another 5 months without a good nights rest?  We even tried our guest room bed and then stole its foam mattress pad (now with 2) for our bed.  Still no success.  Guess we should have splurged a year a go and got the temperpedic that we really wanted.
Other than that I can't complain too much.
