16 Weeks

This pregnancy is flying by so far. The first trimester went by in the blink of an eye. I actually was lucky in having no pregnancy symptoms, no morning sickness whatsoever. So, it is really just now starting to sink in as I begin to develop the belly. Here are the first of the belly shots. These pictures don't quite convey how big I feel. It is that uncomfortable stage where I don't really look pregnant, but just fat and tree-trunk-like. A few weeks ago, I had to pull out the fat pants and anything with elastic, and this past week, I finally delved into the maternity clothes.

One fun thing: a mom in my mom's group who is done having children gave me her home doppler. It is not something I would have bought, but it is actually kind of fun to listen to little peapod on occassion. It was really fun for Sean because he hasn't been to an appointment with me yet, so it was his first time to hear the heartbeat. It is surprisingly easy to find and always strong. I have my 16 week check up on Tuesday.
