Things are pretty uneventful around here. Mark and I have just 3 classes left and 2 days of exams before he graduates (!) and I can take a breather before summer classes start. It’s flown by, and boy, we’re glad. The projects, papers, and last minute tests are stressing us out at the moment.
I guess the most exciting thing is that my baby belly is already popping out. Which, baffles me as the baby is suposably the size of a lentil bean right now (1/4th of an inch) and yet I look about 3 months pregnant. The lady at Salsaritas looked at my belly and a winked, which says a lot because that lady is normally very mean like she hates her life and job. I shouldn’t be surprised though because I popped out quickly with Savannah as well. Oh, the pregnancy bloat.
And so, because of this tummy growth I am in sudden need of new shirts. I have 3 left from when I was pregnant with Savannah (non-maternity, but still loose) but a girl needs more than 3 shirts per week, no? My pants still fit as I’m not gaining much weight yet, but I’ve been using the hair tie trick to give my expansion more room. (Shhh…no one tell my pants are unbuttoned!)
Proof of my belly:

I’m still feeling good as well. No nausea and not extremely exhausted like I was with Savannah. My appetite is picking up a little more and the cravings for sweets has hit full blown. It’s about all I want now (versus 2 weeks ago the thought of sweets was gross). Doughnuts are my best friend right now (speaking of which, perhaps I should go more?). I’m craving all the unhealthy stuff. Typical! Overall though I don’t really feel pregnant yet, which is normal I suppose.
Ultrasound in less than 2 weeks! I’ll feel better when I can see things are good and that my not-many-symptoms are ok.

Aww, you don’t look that big! (Is that nice? I never know what to say to pregnant women…LOL)
And yes, I had to wear my pants unbuttoned too. But I used a rubber band. I think the hair tie is classier. :)

Super cute. I have to admit I’m a little jealous. I’ve had the baby fever lately, and it seems like everyone is having babies. I really love that you’re trying to have a little more natural birth. I hope to learn a lot by reading your insights as you go through this.

You’re not 3 months big yet. You’re so cute my dear – hair tie trick and all :) Did you give away all your shirts from having Savannah?
