"are you getting a mustache"

I just woke up from a lovely night's sleep and Chad says, "are you getting a mustache?"
Then he laughs. Apparently that is a good dad to be joke.

Note to self about baby bump pics:

Try to look happy

Wear a cute outfit, not your only PJ's that are fitting you right now

Make your husband get out of bed to take the pic so it is at a more flattering angle

Brush the hair, that is your best feature during these larger than normal times

Week 15, day five

My belly has started to pop out. Right now it looks like my first trimester love for carbs is sitting in my gut but it is actually a baby. Chad and I are going to have a freakin baby! My body is definately starting to feel more pregnant. Because my first trimester was pretty mellow for the most part, I have not yet felt that second trimester energy surge I keep hearing about. I am walking every day so maybe that means I already have it. Sometimes 45 mins and sometimes an hour and 30 mins. I have been doing yoga and light weights here and there but my main priority is really to listen to my body and give it what it needs. Being pregnant is such a great teacher for me because that has been something I dont normally just do. I can push myself pretty hard and it feels really good to slow down when I need to. It is easier to take care of myself when I know I am cooking a person in my tummy. I think about this little baby every second of the day. I look at pregnant women with this feeling of awe. It is like all of a sudden, any woman who has given birth is my homegirl. Some things you really can't describe or feel embarrased to describe and when you see someone who has been though it, you know-they just know. Being pregnant with Chad is so much fun so far! We are like two little kids who just laugh about anything and are so excited that most things seem like no big deal. He is going to be such a great dad and he is already really so caring and loving. He teases me but he really does make me feel beautiful at a time when I feel like I am just getting bigger and bigger. I am thankful he can support me in that way. We have our second doc appt on Monday and I am very excited. I love any opportunity to hear the little one's heartbeat! I wonder if it is a girl or a boy? hmmmmmm
