Holy cow, I'm not so skinny anymore. Or as I am told, I am beginning to look like a "normal girl" now. Thanks. :)
The world of facebook now knows about snowpea thanks to a profile picture update. Including the friends in Korea and Japan! Gotta love the internet!
I finally tried out that darn prenatal yoga DVD today, mostly because I was so ticked off at the mailman for stuffing our box to the point of jamming it, I was ready to destroy someone/thing. It wasn't so bad. Strangely, I do have to use the modified poses that they show for 2nd Tri....but I guess that's only strange to me.Dr's appointment tomorrow after work, so I'll try to update again then.
Snowpea and my favorite new things: icees, fruitista freezes, fruit popsicles, peaches, and blueberries! Yum! Maybe I should buy some of that V-8 Frusion stuff and try to get some serving of vegetables in me....
Here's the required belly shot from last night - 17w2d:
And one with me actually wearing my clothes and having a head:
I seriously used to have a cute belly button (if there is such a thing). No more! This thing is ridiculous! While I've read that belly buttons can pop out like a thanksgiving turkey thermometer, it's not supposed to happen until much much later. Well, my formerly normal bellybutton has now decided that it is a half-innie, half-outie. AND, it's super sensitive! Oh well, what can you do?
Here is a picture of the cards little snowpea has received so far (or we received that mention snowpea). Yes, one of them is actually a father's day card for Brian. Hayley, you're a doll!
And of course, since you have been so deprived for so long, here is the newest belly shot. You still can't tell anything with clothes on (unless I'm feeling particularly bloated, that is), but there is definitely something there that wasn't there before.
Everyone at my office now knows the news, and it's been nice reactions all the way around. Now I even have an excuse to not have to push around the gigantic cart full of pop at Sam's club. Mwa ha ha!
Our next doctor's appointment is in one week and the big ultrasound is coming up in four weeks!!!
All in all, I've been feeling pretty good. Although a walk in the sun to the park pretty much wiped me out yesterday. Probably a half mile each way and I was nearly falling asleep walking on the way back. Brian was not impressed. :) I've still been grazing all day long while I'm at work, and usually by the time Bri's back from his exercising at around 7-8 pm daily, I am no longer hungry and throw a fit at him. Oops. We need to figure out a better dinner time that works for both of us.
That's all for now. Will write again at least next week.
Brian left for MN this morning and I had my first day of riding my bike to work. It wasn't as bad as I was expecting, but it was starting to drizzle as I rode home and started pouring about a half hour after I locked myself in the house. At least I'm finally getting some exercise in my daily routine! And after I saw the $53 mark on the gas pump yesterday, I might be riding my bike a bit more! (As long as my balance doesn't become an issue of course!) I had to go to Sam's Club this afternoon with a co-worker to pick up a bunch of pop for work, and I am so glad she came. There is no way I could have pushed the equivalent of two carts of pop around the store and to the car. Sad part of the story though: after eating my lunchable at work, I decided I was hungry again an hour later and bought a giant hot dog from Sam's. Well, I'm not the greatest at planning and couldn't manage to push the cart full of pop, my lemonade, and an open hotdog all while maneuvering through the parking lot and my hot dog fell on my leg!!! And of course, it was covered in ketchup, mustard, and relish. Happily though, I took my co-worker's suggestion and brought it back in and they gave me another one for free! Helped my hungry belly, but not my mustardy pants...
Here's this week's picture - taken a little late at 11w3d:
