2011 - a year of BIG changes

Here are the first of my monthly belly photos.

Month 1 - Skinny and Happy.

Month 2 - Chubby and Nauseated.

I can't believe how pudgy I've already become.  I've been eating a lot, but it's mostly super healthy food so I'm surprised that I already look so bloated.  Oh well, guess I better get used to feeling like a fat cow ... a nauseated fat cow!

And here is how I spend most of my free time these days.  Eating cereal in a Snuggie on the couch.

Over the Christmas holidays we told both sides of the family the baby news.  Both sets of parents were super happy.  My mom especially can't stop talking about it.  Even though we told everyone that the news was still a secret until I hit 14 weeks, my mom keeps "accidentally" telling neighbors and friends.  My sister is the only one who is still adjusting to the news.  She wasn't expecting this announcement for at least a few more years, and she's almost 5 years younger than me so this is a bit of a shock.  She did a very good job acting excited and even went shopping for a pair of maternity jeans with me (yes, I already feel the need to wear maternity jeans).  She's being a very good sport about the baby and will be the best aunt ever, once she gets used to the idea :)

Here is the first ultra-sound photo of the little peanut.  It was taken at 8.5 weeks so it's a little old, I'm 10.5 weeks now.  2011 is going to be quite a year.

The little peanut is about the size of, well, a peanut.
