My belly shot: week 18

News Break: Our baby is growing. And, man, can I feel it. I'm 10 lbs heavier and no longer a fan of button jeans. Here's a picture to compare with week 14. I think I'll be taking more photos now as I feel like my belly is growing every day! They say I'll be feeling punches and kicks soon. Stay tuned...

Gas or Baby?

Everyone's asking if I can feel our little peanut kicking around inside me. At times I think I can feel him and then gas quickly follows. I'm excited about being able to feel him within the next few weeks! I'll of course post it when it happens.

Last week I had my 3rd doctor's appointment. This time the baby's heartbeat was 144. Not too sure what the ol' wives tale means now. Slower heartbeat- maybe the sex changed? I don't think so.

My next appointment is November 7 and that's when we'll find out if our little peanut is a boy or a girl! I am on edge and can't wait until 11/7. How will we tell our family? friends? I'm thinking about customizing some blue and pink M & M's to surprise everyone. hmm... or maybe I won't be able to hold it in-- I may just blurt it out!

I don't see it

Here are some photos, courtesy of my friend Molly, at Weeks 10 (red shirt) and 14 (pink shirt). I don't think I really don't look much different other than a little more fuller in my belly. I'm excited to see what the rest of the 2nd trimester brings.

2nd Prenatal Doctors Visit

Today was a most fabulous day! Matt and I visited the dr together. We got to hear lil' peanut's heartbeat loud and clear! Strong at 156 bpm. According to an old wives' tale, that means its a girl. Only time will tell...

At 10 weeks

The baby is showing just a little.
