Showing Enough for People to know I’m Preggo and not just fat!

Heyo! Shirtless!

I think I might be winning, but I’m not sure?!

This was really a week without incident which was such a nice change! I only threw up once and overall I felt great. For the most part, I completely feel like my old pre-pregnancy self again… well except for the fact that I am finally showing. It happened over about a two week period of time, and now there is no mistaking my belly for fat! It’s exciting to take the bump out. I love the way that people look at me. I can tell that the majority of them are thinking “jeez, is she older than Jamie Lynne Spears??”

I had an appointment at the Birth Center on the 16^th and Jamesina, the midwife that day was just amazing. She said that everything is measuring perfectly and that the baby’s heart rate is exactly as it should be. She also told us that we can schedule the 20 week ultrasound as early as the middle of week 18. We will finally know if this little kicker is Elzie or Jamis. I can barely contain the excitement. I really feel like it’s Elzie but we shall see. The kicks are happening much more often and in such greater numbers now. Jon even got to feel a little one for the first time this morning. We are so lucky that we are getting to experience all of this movement so early. I would like to thank my small frame for that, but might have other things to say to my small frame around the middle of October.

My general practitioner called and told me that the results of the Holter Monitor were completely normal. I guess all of these palpitations are really just from little baby baby in there weighing down on all my innards. Hopefully the start of my prenatal yoga next week will help with all of this.
