Growing!

It's only been a week, but the change seems pretty dramatic (to me, at least!). I am officially too big for my regular pants, and I have resorted to leggings and maternity pants (the maternity pants are actually still big on me, but are SO much more comfortable than my regular pants at this point...stretchy is good!). I am officially in my second trimester - "they" say that I should start to get some of my energy back and I am SO ready for that to happen. According to my books, the baby is about the size of a lemon this week. I love how they use fruit as a measurement, but it actually makes it much easier to visualize!




On another note, I told my work last week that I was pregnant. As nervous as I was (and as guilty as I feel about the timing), my boss was nothing but supportive - not that I was truly surprised. I am fortunate to work with such great people. I guess the news is officially official now!

Itty Bitty Baby Bump

Here are the first of many "baby bump" pictures. While I'm barely showing, my pants tell a different story about my growth. I'm currently wearing pants secured snuggly by a ponytail holder. I'm in the terrible in-between stage - I can't fit into my regular clothes but I'm still too small for maternity clothes. But I'll save the trauma of clothes shopping while pregnant for another post.

Our first baby pic


This was taken at our first doctors appointment (at 7 weeks). Thank goodness for the arrow, otherwise it would have been like the episode of Friends were Rachel couldn't point out the baby. If you look closely you can see the dark shadow of our little bean.
