The latest development since I last wrote is... I discovered maternity pants. HOLY CRAP!! Those bad boys are COZY!!! :)
Nice to know I still look good from the back :)
....and the bump seems to be a wee bit more pronounced. I know I said I would start posting bump pics starting at week 16, but I think it's time...
Want a close up?!
BAM!
So this little baby is estimated to be the size of a peach these days, and little by little the sex organs are becoming more pronounced. We'll schedule our 20 week ultrasound at our next appointment on Thursday and I will have more blood drawn for the sequential screening we're doing. Yes, we're doing the screening. While I do love surprises, I also have a penchant for having an idea of what I'm getting in to. I feel confident because the nuchal cord thickness measured normal, but we'll see what the 20 week shows... a tail perhaps? ... I do love the circus, but a tail isn't really something I'm hoping for...
I've been feeling tired more lately than recently, but I've also been able to really work out at the gym again, finally! Feels SO good to be able to actually work out; to have sore muscles and feel my abs! I feel more motivated than ever to be a strong momma for this baby, and to show them to be strong too. I think fitness will be an important theme to teach.
Well, that's it for this installment. More next week! :)
