Baby Update

Well I had another doctor's appointment last Tuesday and heard the heartbeat again. It was a healthy 160. Phew!

So I thought that I would post some photos of my waistline which has been expanding for quite some time. And it isn't expanding out in front it is more on the sides that it has been expanding. I am very self conscious as it is about my body and to see the scale keep climbing and to see my waist expanding is not the most fun! Chris is already annoyed with me b/c of it...oops!

Here is a photo taken July 24th which I would be 6 weeks at this point. I used to have a nice flat stomach with definition.....and boy I have worked so hard to have that flat stomach!This was a self portrait that I took myself of course. Still a little definition (but I am wearing elastic pants!).

This next photo was taken on September 5th which I would have been just over 12 weeks and this time I am wearing loose fitting pants, so it doesn't show much. I will try to wear the same pants each time now. Chris decided that Randi needed to be in this photo...

Everything that I read tells me that once you get past the first trimester that most of the sickness and feeling tired goes away and they are totally right! I don't fall asleep in the middle of the day at my desk anymore which is great! I still don't have cravings for food unless it is right in front of me (like my most recent purchase of starburst though they were on sale). I do have some foods that still disgust me though. The problem with not craving food is that when you go to the grocery store and you see something that you all of a sudden want and you buy it and get it home and then you don't want it anymore. Oops!!!

I am officially 13 weeks and 3 days today and our next appointment is October 8th. People keep asking if we are going to find out the sex of the baby and my comment is that Chris and I haven't had that argument yet. And I say argument b/c I want to know the sex and Chris doesn't. So eventually we will have to talk about it though we still have the October 8th appointment and the next appointment after that in November would be if and when we can find out the sex of the baby.

Well I will try to give weekly updates on how things are going for us! We are going to check out cribs this weekend, woohoo!
