1st Pictures!

Here are the 1st baby pictures! There are a few creepy head pictures and a great profile picture! He or she weights 13 oz and has a 1 inch foot. The head and belly measure at 21 weeks so that means the due date has been moved up 10 days. The new date is April 2nd 2010. As far as health, it is "all good".

Pre Thanksgiving!

At 19 weeks! Most everything is still fitting but I don't think this will last too much longer or past Janet's wonderful Thanksgiving cooking! This week is also the ultrasound!

3rd Doctor's Appointment

Today was my third doctor's appointment at 17 1/2 weeks. I heard the little babies heart beat again, it was nice and strong. I have gained 1.5 pounds and am told that that is okay for now. Dr. Tran was not surprised my jean still fit but she was surprised I still had my belt on. Haha, she said she doesn't expect to see that at the next appointment (December 3rd). I was given the referral for our first sonogram and can schedule it within the next few weeks. Exciting!

16 going on 17

So here we are going on 17 weeks and I do not feel much different. I was beginning to think that I was malfunctioning when I heard too many comments such as... "You are not even showing yet". I began to obsess over this and asked around, I got even more worried when I was told by 3 different people that they outgrew their pants around 14-15 weeks. AHH! I can still wear my favorite jeans and I can actually wear those black pants again for some strange reason. So after worrying, calling my mom and being assured there was nothing wrong with me I continued to search the Internet for other 17 week pictures of pregnant women. The visual proof that I was normal was evident when I found other women worrying about the same thing but their pictures looked very much like me, no protruding bump. I will most likely look back at this post and wish I wasn't showing, like my mom said but for now at least my temporary worry is over.
