11 Weeks

One more to 12! I know technically second tri doesn't start until 13w3d, but somehow 12 feels more like a trimester. Plus 12 is when we planned to become "Facebook official." And that may have to wait longer than I wanted. I'm foreseeing some obstacles in my path to my planned reveal (I'm really making this more awesome than it really is, by the way).

At any rate, I've also semi-figured out my new tripod and found a place to start taking my weekly bump progress pics. (Hint: it's the nursery!) Let me put this disclaimer on the photo in this post: I know that is not a legitimate baby bump, but it is because of pregnancy that my belly looks twice the size it normally does, so let a girl try to feel good about her expanding waistline.

Symptom-wise, there really have been no new developments. Cravings lean more toward things with tomato sauce in them -- like Italian cheesesteaks, cheap pizza rolls, etc.

I thank God every day that I have not been graced with morning sickness or other tummy concerns. If my chief complaints are waking up 3x a night to use the bathroom and my outrageous appetite, then I'm doing well. The Negative Nelly part of me wonders what could lie ahead as payback. After all, I didn't have problems conceiving and my pregnancy so far has been 'easy' --- so when does the other shoe drop?

I've definitely been slacking on reading my pregnancy books, but I'm LOVING these BabyCenter videos. The whole development process really fascinates me.
