2nd Trimester

Whew! I graduated to my 2nd trimester a couple weeks ago. People are saying I'm starting to show. I still think it's just my original tummy fluff but maybe I don't notice it because I see myself everyday. Ha ha! As of today, I'm at the end of my 16th week, going into my 17th. Four months gone in a flash... just in time for a nice hot summer! Whew-ee! I bet this will be fun! ;-)

I have noticed my tummy gets in the way a little bit now. I went up to see my parents. I tried to squeeze by Mom's car to exit through the garage door. Yeah... I didn't make it through and had to go back into the house and go out the front door. When I wash something in the sink and lean forward to reach for the soap, I notice my reach is a little shorter now and my tummy is uncomfortable leaning against the counter. My tummy has accidentally hit the button on the dishwasher, turning it on. I can't reach my pinky toes to paint them myself. Although, it's now a GREAT excuse for getting pedicures!

I went to my first prenatal yoga class. I am sold! I love it! The om's make me giggle a little. I admit it. But the exercises are great! Plus I always have used controlled breathing whenever I had pains so this helps me learn how to better concentrate on my breathing. I highly recommend it to anyone! Now don't let this mislead you into thinking I'm planning on an all natural birth. I'm probably the only woman in the class that's not having it in my birth plan. It's just not for me. I do have a lot of respect for the women who are planning on it though! You girls are tough as nails!

I'll be at the end of 18 weeks at my next appointment. I'm really hoping they will do an ultrasound and tell us if it's a boy or girl! Yesterday, St. Patrick's Day, in the morning, I thought I felt the baby hiccuping! There were two distinct bubble kind of feelings while I was laying down. After talking to Tina, we think it was probably actually the baby kicking! I guess when the baby hiccups, it goes on for a while. Ha ha! My first baby movement that I can feel! Eeeeeeiiiiii!!!!!!

I had gotten 3 more ultrasound pics with I had my first trimester screening (horrible experience btw) but I need to scan them in. Hopefully I'll get those up soon. In the meantime, here are the latest belly pics.
