Bigger Belly

Oh well yesterday when I hit 13 weeks 3 days I officially started the second trimester. This is when I start packing on the pounds and getting a nice big baby inside my nice big belly. Look down at the bottom. My baby is the size of a peach! A peach is pretty big! It's crazy that just a few weeks ago it was an appleseed..... well the size of one at least. Wait, maybe I accidentally swallowed a watermelon seed and thats whats grow inside me. Everyone always said that growing up, I guess they were finally right. Oh but mine has a heartbeat so I guess it is a baby after all. Whoo, thank goodness.

Anyway this morning we were comparing my 8 weeks belly picture with todays 13 1/2 weeks picture. It looks like I've just gotten a bit chubbier but there is a little more of a baby bump. Exciting! While I absolutely hate this stage of everything fitting a little off and looking bigger than I have ever looked, at least I know that I'm sustaining and growing life, right?

So regarding the vote, I think GIRL wins. We will see soon!

I've gotta make a grocery list..... What a some good easy dinner recipes?

Doctor visit today

So we heard our little lime's heart thump thumping today! Oh little baby is just growing so well. I couldn't be happier. My doctor is OK. Our visits are so short but I can't complain because she's obviously not worried about anything. I'm just so happy our baby is healthy.

I'm also under 200 days! This is going so quick. Looks like I'll be going to Charlotte in the middle of October. I'm not allowed to fly after 28 weeks ( according to the doc) so that will be right before halloween and hopefully I'll have a big ol' pregnant bump.

Ok so what is your guess? Boy or Girl? Let me know. My initial feelings are wavering maybe....

Jake thinks its a boy. It was very clear from the ultrasound picture to him although I'm not quite sure those parts were formed yet. Maybe he has some good innocent child intuition.
