Size of a Lime

Wow, this little guy is growing quite quickly now!  It is the size of a lime!  I can tell that things have been growing because over the weekend my stomach popped out and it isn't going back in!  My pants no longer button (not comfortably at least) and it is quite interesting how this all seemed to happen over night.  We get to hear the heart beat next week on the 6th.  I am very excited to hear it, I've been told that hearing the heart beat makes it more real.  Everyday gets a little easier to believe that this is all happening.  However, it still doesn't seem that pregnancy turns into a baby.  Right now they seem to be two very separate things.  We will see how I feel when I hear the heart beat and start to feel it moving in the next month or two.

12 Weeks and Much Happier

Well, it has been forever since I last posted.  Mainly, this is due to the fact that the past four weeks have not been so easy.  I have felt sick, weak, nauseated, tired and just plain crummy.  I am really happy to announce that I am feeling much better the last two days.  I am just now starting my 12th week of pregnancy and have started to feel better.  I am starting to show and have a little baby bump which makes my mom happy and makes this all a little more real for me.  I am still in a surreal place where I don't think all of these things are due to a little baby inside of me.  The books say that it is the size of a lime now and that I will start feeling stretching in my mid-section and back.  I have been experiencing this for the last three days.  So far the staples in my diet are top ramen and chocolate milk...what isn't to love about those??  There will be more updates to come as I start to feel better and better...
