Pregnant or Muffin-Top?




Ok, so two weeks since my last post. Everything is going well. We had an appointment last Friday and everything is looking (or sounding) great. No ultrasound until next visit, so we only got to hear the heartbeat this time. The doctor says it's nice and healthy, what more can you ask for? The next visit is when, if we decide to, we can find out the sex of Nugget. I'm still leaning towards waiting and being surprised at Nugget's birth. Tyler wants to find out. We've talked about it a little bit, but as the appointment approaches, those conversations may become more frequent and more of a debate than conversation.
As for me, I'm feeling great! My pants are getting pretty tight and I went shopping for maternity clothes for the first time this weekend. I'm pretty quickly going from looking like I've eaten a few too many ice cream sundaes to actually looking pregnant, which is great! Tyler has been amazed at how quickly the baby belly is growing these days.
The belly picture is from our camping trip this past weekend and I think it's even visibly larger today only 4 days later (sorry no picture from today)! I've also included a belly picture of Tyler, so far he's not gaining any "sympathy weight". We'll keep track of Daddy's transformation as well. Enjoy!

Not quite the beginning...



So, here's a little background... Tyler and I were married in Scott, Louisiana on March 14th, 2009! Since we live in Colorado and got married in Louisiana, we decided to delay our honeymoon a little to avoid major travel difficulties. Our honeymoon was scheduled for May 9th, 2009, on April 29th one week before our lovely, all-inclusive Sandal's honeymoon in St. Lucia, Tyler and I found out we were pregnant! We definitely enjoyed our wonderful trip to St. Lucia, although I had to keep all of my drinks virgin.

So, now here I am 14 weeks along, for now we're calling the little person developing in my belly the Nugget. So far, everything has been fine my worst symptoms have been trouble brushing my teeth and the smell of anything grilling. Both make me want to throw up just a little, oh and I now hate steak. With just those few complaints, so far so good!
I'm just beginning to show, however, Tyler and I are probably the only ones who really notice. My guess is most people just think I had a few too many donuts.
As I grow and the Nugget develops, I'll try to keep whoever might enjoy reading this post updated on our little family.
