Second Trimester!

I am now at the start of my second trimester! Obviously nothing much has changed in the past two days (except our a/c now works! yay!) - and I am less than a week away from my next appointment!

Here is a part of an e-mail update I get every week:

Fingerprints have formed on your baby's tiny fingertips, her veins and organs are clearly visible through her still-thin skin, and her body is starting to catch up with her head — which makes up just a third of her body size now. If you're having a girl, she now has more than 2 million eggs in her ovaries. Your baby is almost 3 inches long and weighs nearly an ounce.

(They switch between her and him every week)

I should be back on Tuesday with a new picture of our little one!

12 week update

Well, I am almost finished with my 12th week and things are still going well. We just got back from a week in Florida on Saturday night and I am not so ready to get back to reality. It was great to do nothing but lay around and eat good food for a week. It was also good to see family - below is a cute picture of my beautiful niece, Baylie:


She will be 1 year old on July 1st!

As for Baby C, I read that he/she is now the size of a lime and is moving around like crazy. Unfortunately, I can't feel anything yet, so I'll take their word for it. I am sooo ready for my next appointment, especially for the ultrasound! Next Tuesday cannot get here fast enough! I am still feeling good, eating everything in sight, and trying to get enough water. Below is my 12 week, 5 day belly pic - not much of a change, but my clothes are definitely getting more and more snug:


If I look hot in the picture, it is because we came home from Florida to a broken air conditioning, so it is about 85 degrees in our house. Hopefully by my 13 week entry, that will be resolved.

11 weeks...

Things are pretty much the same here in week 11. I rarely feel sick but still get tired rather easily. I think I may be starting to get a teeny tiny baby bump though! Luckily, a friend from church was kind enough to give me all of her maternity clothes (2 trash bags and 1 Rubbermaid container's worth)!! I probably won't need to wear them for another month or so, but it certainly saves us LOTS of money.

We are leaving for Florida on Monday, so my 12 week update will be a little late. I am soooo excited for the break and cannot wait to just lay on the beach and read.

Here's a cute picture to show what a great dad Corbin is going to be:


His birthday is Saturday! Next year, his birthday will be on Father's Day. I am already looking forward to making that an extra-special day for him!

Double Digits!

I am 10 weeks today and Baby C is now a fetus! I have been feeling great and am hoping things will stay that way.

We are officially "out" now - we told our church on Sunday and I have already been bombarded with unsolicited advice. Haha, I guess it is to be expected. Everyone is very excited, though!

Below is my 10 week belly shot. Excuse my appearance, this was taken right before I went to jog across the dam.

I don't really think much has changed. I am a teeny bit more pudgy, but I haven't gained any weight, although I am definitely eating my fair share.

I had to change my next appointment to July 1st (Mimi and Baylie's B'day!) since Corbin got called for jury duty at my previous appointment time. I think he is the only person in the world who gets excited over jury duty. I will be 14 weeks then, so I am super excited to see what the baby will look like!
