my waistline just isn't what it used to be!

My waistline just isn't what it used to be.....and for good reason!! I have been working really hard over the years to get and keep a fairly flat tummy. Now that we are pregnant that is no longer the case. At first, it bothered me but now I am doing pretty good with it. As of this week, i am officially into maternity clothes. My "normal" clothes just don't fit any more. Well, to be honest, my size 10's stopped fitting around week 8. I have been wearing my size 12's and now they don't fit!!

Ken and I told the families in February. To announce to may family had these shirts made. Katie's sister has a screenprint/embroidery company in Brigham. She was kind enough to do these shirt so my work didn't have to know until we were ready. They turned out great!! Ken's is my favorite!! My sister in law wasn't sure what Ken's was at first, she thought it was a band.

All of the books we are reading tell me to start taking pictures every month of my belly. I resisted until the 17th of march. My belly is still pretty small (comparing to what it will be) but we are officially 3 months along and OUT OF THE FIRST TRIMESTER!!!

Our books tell us that the nausea etc will stop at the end of the first trimester. They were right. The past two weeks have been a breeze. OK, the nausea etc weren't bad to begin with but now that I am feeling more like myself I feel great!!!! Only six more months to go!!

Kenny has been the biggest support through all of this. I don't know what i would do without him. He has kept me motivated when I was all kinds of emotional and scared. He is constantly asking how we are doing and what he can do to help. I am so very lucky to have him in my life. We just ordered the car seat with two bases. He cannot wait for them to get here so he can put the cat in it and carry it around. How cute is that!!!

Fyi, we have a few nicknames for the baby. Ever since the doctor confirmed the pregnancy (for the second time), we have been calling it Aj (Angie Jr), Kj (Kenny Jr) or Jaak (Jr Angie and Ken). Chris and Kirby (Ken's parents) picked the last one out. It is pronounced Jack but spelled a little different. So, if you hear us talking about Aj, Kj, or Jaak it is the baby. No none of them will be the actual name, that will be decided later.
