Mommy Status Update

As the picture Owen posted indicates, most people would not look at me and think I'm showing. I can tell that I'm not the size I use to be. Most of my pants no longer fit and when I breath in to get a flat tummy, I can see a small bump in my belly. The books tell me that by 12 weeks, my uterus is the size of a grapefruit...that sounds about right for what I'm noticing.

In the past few weeks, I've also noticed that I can no longer sleep through the night. I now wake-up for a late night trip to the bathroom. I have to make sure I have a clear path to the bathroom before I hit the hay, otherwise Owen gets a wake-up call in the middle of the night. :)

I have also noticed when I cough or sneeze that my tummy muscles are sore. They must be stretching to make room for the baby, so the additional pressure does not go unnoticed.

Other than that, I'm feeling great and about to enter my 2nd trimester in another week or so.

Profile: Maybe sorta starting to show

So, we've determined it's time to take another picture of Laura to see how things are progressing. Nothing much to see yet, although Laura is having difficulty fitting into her jeans now.

Ultrasound Pictures

Today we went to the doctor, and had our first ultrasound. Presenting Baby Yaklin:

By the way, they gave us a new due date of May 6th. Note the change in the countdown.
