Obviously we started these photos too early. Still no baby bump. I feel committed to continue anyway. Apparently I won't start popping until my uterus can't fit in my pelvis anymore. That could be a while.
Baby is developing all kinds of new things every week. S/he's generating 100 new brain cells every minute, s/he's developing permanent kidneys, and his/her arm and leg joints are starting to form. S/he has two more weeks as an embryo before s/he is considered a fetus.
New for me this week: zits! It's so weird! My hormones are going nuts! My ta-tas are starting to get a little sore, too. I've been reading about all the strange things that are going to happen to my body and I'm not looking forward to some things. Like bigger and darker areolas. Ew! Nausea is still mild and fleeting at this point. I would be so grateful if I got through the whole pregnancy without puking. I passed the halfway point of the first trimester last week - woo-hoo!
Evan and I have been looking into taking a last hurrah trip during the second trimester. Hopefully I'll be feeling good and full of energy like the book says. We're thinking Thailand, a country that's been at the top of Evan's travel wish list for a while. We went to Powells this weekend and picked up a guide book. It's so fun to research all the cool and interesting places we might want to visit.
Thanksgiving is in two days. We're headed to Salem to spend the holiday with Evan's family. I'm really worried about feeling nauseous while I'm there, especially with all the strong smells of food cooking. Evan's parents know we're expecting so I won't have to turn down the usual flowing wine. I also opted out of the annual day-after-Thanksgiving wine tasting tour. I'm sure these actions could raise suspicion in Evan's sister and brother-in-law but we don't plan on announcing to anyone else until after our first prenatal appointment. I think it's going to be hard!
