Here are the first pictures of my "belly". I think you can really only tell it's a baby belly if you know. I still have to figure out a better way to take self-portraits. I actually wanted to take weekly pictures. However, for the past 1 1/2 weeks, my camera has been being weird. When I wanted to take pictures last week, all were either blurry or overexposed. So, for the moment, I only have these 2:

(About 12 1/2 weeks)


(Almost 14 weeks)


Perhaps I can take a few pictures this weekend.

At this point, I would also like to introduce my hopefully weekly questionnaire. I really thought the idea was cute and funny in my friend's blog. If you have suggestions for further questions, send them my way! :)

How far along: 15+4 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: No official weight gain yet - at least at my last doctor's visit last Monday.
Stretch marks: Nope
Sleep: Still pretty good. I do quickly wake up more often during the night to switch positions though
Best moment in the last week: Ultrasound last week!
Movement: Apparently still too early. However, a few times in the last few days, I’ve had very brief moments where it feels like someone is very quickly and lightly tickling me from inside.
Gender: Still a surprise!
Food Cravings: Nothing particular. My appetite has definitely been back for about 2 weeks now.
Belly Button in or out: In
What I miss: Nothing yet
What I am looking forward to: Feeling baby move
Weekly Wisdom: The first thing people ask when they hear that you are pregnant (no matter how far along you are): “Do you know if it’s a boy or girl yet?”
Milestones: I read that baby is starting to suck his/her thumb already
Baby Brain Moment of the Week: I went to my grandparents’ house to bake cookies Sunday night. When I got there, I realized I brought everything except the cookie dough!
Belly-button ring status: My doc told me at my last sonogram that my belly button piercing has to come out eventually, but especially during sonograms because it can interfere with the machine and cause damage. I’m going to try to keep it in as long as I can (and it doesn’t look too weird). I just have to remember to take it out before all of my visits to the doctor.
Labor Signs: Hopefully not until the end of May or so!
Weekly Belly Pic: See above pics. Hopefully more next week.
