Scheduled for Wednesday, August 6th
I’ll be in the 19th week at that point. This is the one where we should get some fun photos of the baby. No, we are not going to find out the gender. We’re going to wait. So buy gender neutral till January 6th.
Notes from WebMD for this week (17 weeks pregnant):
Baby: Your baby, now about in its 15th week of development, measures about 4.4 to 4.8 inches from crown to rump and has doubled in weight in the last two weeks to about 3.5 ounces. Fat begins to form, helping your baby’s heat production and metabolism. The lungs are beginning to exhale amniotic fluid, and the circulatory and urinary systems are working. Hair on head, eyebrows and eyelashes is filling in.
Mom-to-be: You’re showing more now, with an obvious swelling in your lower abdomen. A five- to 10-pound weight gain is typical by now. You also may be noticing an increase in appetite. <--- Note: I have gained 6.6 lbs.

I was feeling kinda bummed because my friend Catrina at work has a really nice baby bump goin’ on (she is due in 2 months though), and all I’ve got is a little pudge. I made Kev take some pics of my last night so that I can scrutinize my belly and decide whether I look chubby or prego. What do you think?

I have officially moved into the second trimester this week. Hopefully you are not finding out about our news through this site, but if so, “We’re expecting!!!” My due date is January 6th which means we’ll be having a New Year’s baby. Bubbles and all.
With the second trimester comes a little more relief — risk of miscarriage is very low — and (supposedly) more energy. So far, I’m back to napping during the day. In fact, today I actually fell asleep for 2 HOURS!!! I just meant to rest for a few minutes. Next thing I know, it’s 6:30 at night. So, no sign of that increased energy just yet. But I do feel alot less nauseated. My stomach is starting to stick out (more) but it’s not recognizable as a baby bump — more like a gut. Can’t wait for the bump to get here though!
Kevin and I are thinking about taking one more trip to Europe before the baby comes. That means some quick planning so that we make it there and back before I enter the third trimester. Any suggestions on destinations?
