baby update

I went to the doctor's yesterday and things are looking good. I have officially gained one pound! We heard the heartbeat again nice and strong. My doctor also measured my belly, and I'm a little on the small side for 16 weeks, but nothing to worry about. It's funny because in order to justify the ultrasound to the insurance company the doctor has to say you are either "too small" or "too big". The ultrasound is then used to check the baby's development. So she put me down as "too small" but said I'm probably fine. I will find out today when I'm having the ultrasound. It will be in 2-4 weeks! We are so excited to find out if this little baby is a he or she!

Here is a little visual update of the growing tummy. We took this on Monday night:

We also took a little trip to Costco last night and splurged on a couple things. I will have pictures of those tomorrow. And...I went to Motherhood Maternity to try on their "Secret Fit Belly" jeans. Let me tell you, if you are pregnant you must try on these pants! They are the most comfortable things ever! It seriously feels like you are wearing nothing. They didn't have a huge selection at the store so I ordered some online. The best part is I can wear them now and even after the baby because of how they fit. Motherhood maternity has them for very reasonable prices. Mimi Maternity also them but they are more expensive. I can totally still wear most of my pants but it is like heaven to have nothing pressing on your belly, which is how these pants feel. The stretchy part over the tummy is quite thin and soft and feels delicious.

  4. oh, i LOVE those pants. I had some that were these cropped jeans with a little sort of fringe at the cutoff part, and they were SO CUTE! everyone raved about them every time I wore them, and they were the best "butt" jeans I've ever owned. I was so sad when I couldn't wear them anymore after I had Jules!

  8. There is no "contact me" on your blog, so I am choosing a post to comment on. How is the dancing going? Did you ever start doing it again? If not, why not?

  9. Steve, I ended up not starting a class. I got pregnant right after I started looking and the extreme exhaustion set in and then the feeling sick. Now that I'm past those stages, I have been doing my dvd, which is actually quite good and helps me feel like I'm getting in touch with my inner dancer again. Thanks for asking!
