Is this a baby bump, or am I just awkwardly fat?

Me at about 5 weeks pregnant (right after we found out)



Me at 12 weeks pregnant



Well, we made it to the coveted 12 week mark! Just about ready to cruise right into the second trimester.  I would like to think that I've started to show, but it's hard for me to tell.  What do you think?  Is that a hint of a baby bump, or do I still just look like I've only gotten fatter?  Because that's how I feel.  I can't wait for more milestones to start popping up.  I can't wait to feel the baby for the first time, and I can't wait until we find out the sex of the baby.
I am totally over the morning sickness part of the pregnancy, so that's awesome!  However, I am still at the super exhausted stage.  I would be perfectly happy spending all day sleeping or laying in bed all day long.  I'm hoping this passes and I start feeling energetic again.

Becoming a Family of Three





Well, it's safe to say, I'll probably be updating this blog A LOT more than before.  

Matt and I are currently 10 weeks pregnant with our first child.  We're super excited/nervous/terrified.

We just went to our second appointment with the midwife the past Friday, and what an amazing experience that was!  Because our first appointment was really early (5 weeks 6 days) the midwife wanted us to do a second ultrasound, and I'm so glad we did.  The baby (whom we're calling Falcon right now) looked AMAZING!  Falcon is already VERY active, and gave us quite the show while we were looking. He/She wiggled around and punched his/her little arms like crazy.  Looks like we're in for a very active little one.

Words can't describe how we're feeling right now.  We're feeling very relieved that everything looks really well, and that Falcon is on track for a June 8 due date.  

I'll try and update at least monthly on the progress of Falcon, and maybe after Christmas I'll start posting belly shots, who knows.

Right now, I just keep staring at my ultrasound picture of Falcon, trying to comprehend that I have a PERSON growing inside of me.  That just blows my mind.
