new experiences



Pregnancy is definitely an interesting new experience... Between when I found out I was pregnant and when I had my last doctor's appointment, I had lost 4 pounds despite the beginnings of a baby bump. I was starting to think that I was doing something wrong, so when I stepped on the scale a few days ago and found that I had gained a couple of pounds back I started to celebrate! But, after a few seconds of celebration I stopped and realized that I was celebrating GAINING WEIGHT! That was a new experience that I definitely wasn't expecting...

I am now 16 weeks along and my baby bump is getting very noticable. In fact, Manny says that every time I turn around, my belly is bigger. :) We have an ultrasound scheduled on June 15th, and assuming the baby is cooperative, we are very excited to find out if we are having a baby boy or baby girl. We've already had several predictions...one of which from the nurse practitioner at my doctor's office...all of which are that we are going to have a girl. I guess we'll see how accurate all those predictions are pretty soon.
