16 weeks

15 weeks 3 days

I'm heading for my monthly appointment tomorrow. I'm super excited. I can't wait to hear the baby again. I'm 16 weeks today and feeling great! Seriously. I hate to say it too loudly but my symptoms are seriously minimal. I am having a lot of hip pain the last few days but I can deal with it. Things are starting to feel really real now. I'm waiting impatiently to feel the baby. Things are going well this week.

13 weeks

I'm 13 weeks and 3 days. I felt gigantic today!! :) I think it was the pattern on my sweater. I'm craving tons of artificial fruit flavoring. I think it's because my body doesn't know what real fruit tastes like so it's going with what it knows ... grape soda and starburst. I haven't had too much sickness really. I did get sick one day this week but I think it was because I waited too long between meals. I've had headaches almost every day this week. Can't wait until I look pregnant but I don't want to rush it.

Second Tri today!

I've finally made it to 13 weeks. I feel like a big weight has been lifted at the same time it feels as if my insides are all squished together as I sit here. We went to the doctor last week and everything is looking great. We heard the heartbeat. Mark made it through his first girly doctor appointment and lived to tell the tale. Not much is going on right now with us. I bought some maternity clothes but am not big enough to wear them yet. They were on sale and I couldn't pass it up. I'm just ready to begin the second trimester.

Approaching the second appointment

I officially meet the doctor tomorrow. It's my second appointment and I'm a little nervous. I'm hoping we get to hear the heartbeat. I just want to confirm it's still there, beating away. I'm ready to move into the second trimester and I'm ready to purchase some baby supplies! I found the cutest car seat online the other night and every impulse in my body is urging me to just order it! Mark on the other hand is being the voice of reason and reminding me I don't need to order our car seat at 12 weeks. Maybe he'll at least let me buy another onsie or something this weekend! :)

10 weeks 4 days

Here it is 10 weeks 4 days. Possible bloat. Those were the pants I was 'forced' to wear to work last night because my black and my grey pants were dirty. I'm wearing sweatpants to work on Saturdays from here on out. They are way more comfortable than my jeans. :)

First belly shot at 9 weeks

9 week 2 days

Well here it is. The first pictures. Not much to look at yet but I wanted to have a couple shots of 'before' so that I could compare later on. You can see the slight bulge in the bottom picture but only if you knew what it looked like before pregnancy.

Sigh of relief

Another milestone down. I outed myself at work and on Facebook. My boss was great. He started offering me advice. He wanted to make sure I was taking vitamins and eating healthy. It was a bit sweet. Once I told my boss I couldn't stop myself. I told the Facebook world. I definitely couldn't stop telling people. Now my secret is out.
