BELLY: Week 13

Well, I ditched my lame first trimester this week -- and started a blog! -- which means that there is no better time to start tracking the growth of my uterus. (By 'uterus' I mean belly, of course.  I just like being as accurate and creepy as possible.)

So here are a couple of pics of my fetus & me hanging out earlier this morning.
I thought I was being all clever with the sign.... until I took the picture.  Okay so maybe I'm lacking just a small amount of common sense.  The bar is lowered for blondes, right?

I don't think I was this big until 20 weeks with Dylan...
12 weeks, 2 days

Rather than draw a whole new sign and take a whole new mirror-picture (both of which were SO COMPLICATED to do), I'm once again taking the lazy route and "enjoying" my amateur mistake.

The pictures should get better with practice (which is definitely happening), a fancy camera (hopefully happening), and that surge of "second trimester energy" (a girl can dream!).   I'm just happy to be 'showing' already. And I'm suuuuuper excited the kicks, the punches, and the elevated bowling skills that I'll be experiencing soon!  [I'm serious about the bowling skills, btw.  I broke 200 for the only time when I was 7 months pregnant.]
