My Slowly Growing Baby Belly

So I'm 13 weeks now! Second trimester here we come! There haven't been too many updates to write about lately. I had an appointment on the 6th with the prenatal nurse. It was very basic, pretty much like a normal "first" appointment where we just chatted and she gave me a bunch of reading materials. That's it, not too exciting! I'll have my first appointment with my doctor on the 21st...you'll get a kick out of her name....Dr. Beer! Ha! At that appointment, we'll schedule my next ultrasound! That'll be the ultrasound we find out the sex! It'll be scheduled right around Christmas. I'm guessing somewhere between Dec. 18th and Jan. 1st. I'm hoping it's before we come home for the holidays!

Well, I have been very anxious about seeing some of my baby-growing progress. It has been slow-going! I know there are lots of people who didn't show for a long time, but I'm just getting so impatient! I guess I should enjoy it while I can. I'm sure I'll be miserable soon enough! Last Friday I was complaining to Tom that I couldn't see anything and explaining my impatience. I lifted up my shirt and his eyes got big and he said, "Um, you have a bump." So I looked in the mirror and low and behold, there it was, little but there! I can't see it at all when I just look down, but when I look at my profile in the mirror, it's a little more obvious. I've only gained a pound or two (depending on the day, lol), and all my clothes still fit okay. When I wear regular clothes nobody believes I'm 3 months preggo. I guess that's a good thing! My time will come... Anyhoo, here's some pictures. I took the first one at 6 weeks. That pooch is my pre-preggo pooch, I'm sorry to say! :) I took the second picture this morning at 13 weeks 1 day. There's not a whole lot of difference, but there's a small one! As soon as it becomes more obvious, I'll post another one.
