16 Weeks

I'm a little behind in posting. Technically I was 16 weeks last Friday, but I've got the picture. I'll add it later today. The only new things are stretchy waist bands and a few little kicks.

Yesterday was the first day I felt the baby kicking on and off for a good 3 hours. I did have a dr. apt. yesterday and the nurse confirmed that it was kicking that I was feeling so now I know exactly what it feels like. I'm sure it'll only get more obvious from here.

And, my low rise jeans are officially a thing of the past. I've tried the little button extender but it just doesn't seem to work that well for me. Thats okay though. I can handle the stretchy waist band as long as they continue to stay low rise and cute! None of this over the belly upside down shirt kind of stuff!

15 Weeks

Well, here I am already at 15 weeks. Nothing much has changed, except for that belly. Woah, what a difference a week makes! Saw some friends last night that I haven't seen since I got pregnant and it was fun to have the belly reaction. Most of my friends and family I either haven't seen at all; or see everyday and so the changes aren't really obvious to them. I suppose now is about the time that the pregnancy comments start from strangers at the grocery store too since it's clear now that I'm pregnant and not just fat. I've heard interesting stories from friends about who approached them and in the strangest places. I'm excited for some humor from strange people who think my belly is their business. Of course, as time goes by it may seem less humorous.

This weekend is saved for crib shopping, taking down the Christmas decorations, and most importantly the Packers!

14 Weeks

I'm already a little bit behind because I've hit the beginning of the 16th week but I'm just posting the beginning of the 14th week photos. Oh well, I'm terrible at blogging. It will be a miracle if I can continue this throughout the pregnancy. Anyway, I thought this would be the best way for everyone who doesn't live in Texas to see my belly grow. I think my pregnancy is pretty typical so far. I had morning sickness-or all day sickness-from 6 to 10 weeks and I still have a day every now and then where I feel a little nauseous, but that's all it was. Its nothing a little Mexican food can't fix. Sadly, my butt is getting bigger, but I'm still wearing regular clothes albeit some are stretchy leggings.

So, for those of you that don't know, my due date is July 9 just two days before our 2nd anniversary. Of course, we won't know until the day arrives, but our anniversary and the due date are an interesting combination of 7s, 9s, and 11s. (07-11-09 and 07-09-11). Knowing me, I look for meaning in everything so, I wonder if those mean anything? July 2011 also falls within the Chinese year of the rabbit. I decided on bunnies are my gender neutral decor for the nursery before I knew that, and so that must mean something too. Who knows, maybe it just means my baby is going to come out with a fluffy tail or long floppy ears.

Well, not much else to tell at this time. The picture is at 14 weeks. Hopefully the pictures will get better. Not sure what Vain was thinking taking a photo of me from below my center line...nothing like making me feel like a hippo! Love you baby!
