17 Weeks (Actually 18 as of today)

Time is flying by!  I can't believe I'm closing in on the half way point.  One major event this week was feeling the baby move!  It happened on Sunday night around 10pm.  I was laying in bed on my back & Jon was in the shower.  He started hollering for me to bring him his face wash & when I turned to get out of bed, I felt it!  I then layed back down and waited for it to move some more.  He kept yelling for his face wash and I had to tell him to hang on because I was having a moment!  When I told him what happened, he quickly threw a towel on & came running over to feel my belly.  Unfortunately, I had to break it to him that the baby was too small for him to feel just yet.  He was kind of bummed, but instead layed his head on my belly.  He likes trying to listen for the baby.  He thinks he can hear it moving, but I'm pretty sure it's just my insides & gas jiggling around.  Since he seems so excited, I just go with it.  :)

Here is the pic from week 17.  I feel like my belly has kind of popped this week, but it might just be me.  I also think that it would look bigger if my boobs weren't so massive! 




I've grown 3/4 of an inch in circumference since my last post & gained 3 pounds total.  I find the weight gain really hard to believe since I eat like a horse!

Looking forward to our Ultrasound on Monday!!

14 Weeks!

The second trimester has brought with it some great things such as no nausea, more energy and my hormones seem to be less out of whack.  One big change that I've noticed is that I'm not too much of a morning person anymore.  I discovered this last weekend when I slept in until 8am on Saturday and Sunday.  Usually I'm up around 6:45 or 7am.  In addition, I definitely could have slept longer if we wouldn't have had so much going on.  I'm also finding that I am able to stay up later.  Instead of the 8 or 9pm bedtime that I had in the 1st trimester, I'm staying up until 10 or 11pm.  Jon enjoys that because he is such a night owl and now has someone other than Bella to hang out with.  :)

Here are the latest stats on the pregnancy:

The baby is supposedly 3.5 inches long and about the size of a lemon.

Weight gain: 1 lb

Belly circumference: 33 1/4"

Bust: 37"

In addition, I'm starting to fill out around the midsection.  This was a new development over the weekend.  They say that's supposed to mean a girl....
