Belly and Baby

Picture time!

So first let me explain that we took this belly pic at the end of the day. That is important to keep in mind because I am about 50% bigger in the evenings than I am in the mornings (evidently this is normal, who knew). I hate to say it because I've been so proud of my growing belly but whoa... maybe wearing the tight tank top wasn't the best idea. Where did that thing come from?! I was on a pregnancy board the other day and there was this adorable girl who was so excited that at 16 weeks she finally had a bump. So I look at the picture and it looks like maybe she put a raisin in her shirt. Meanwhile I appear to be smuggling a cantaloupe. In reality our baby is between the size of a lemon or an orange (3.5 to 4 inches). So for your viewing pleasure, I give you my belly.

This sonogram photo was taken at 12 weeks and 1 day. Sorry I'm so late to post it. Next sonogram is scheduled for November 30th. Correct me if I'm mistaken but it definitely appears to be a profile. And for those of you who may be concerned, our baby definitely has arms and legs because we've seen them. For some reason they are invisible in this photo. Enjoy!

Oh Kayla you look great! I only took a picture at 12 weeks...been a total slacker since I am not almost 17!!! Can you believe it?? They are sending me to a high risk specialist but things are still going pretty good. Had my 16 week appt. today and the heartbeat was great. I have another ultrasound the week of Thanksgiving!! Thanks for posting an update!! Glad that all is going well!!!! I think that I sent you a PM on preg.org.

Love the pictures! Your belly bump is very cute!! (You are so slender!) So amazing that you are starting to show. The baby picture turned out great--you don't always get such good profile pictures. Congratulations!
