August update

Things are going well! I have not been plagued with morning sickness. Thank God!
I am now into my second trimester so things should be getting even better over the next 12 weeks. The one thing that I am the most excited about is that I am not tired like I was in the beginning. I still need more rest than before I was pregnant but not like those first weeks when I couldn't keep my eyes open at work.

I had my second doctors appointment two days ago. I got to hear the baby's heartbeat! That is when it really sinks in that I really have a baby growing inside me. It is comforting to know that I am not just getting fat for no reason :)
The baby is around 4.5 inches long by now. That is about the size of a naval orange. Still small but growing like crazy.

My mother just gave me a digital camera for my birthday so now I can start posting pictures and you can share in the growth of my mid-section. It will be interesting to see the changes. I am still able to wear some of my regular clothes but need to add to my maternity wardrobe which has started thanks to more birthday gifts from my family.

Glenn and I are scheduled for our second ultrasound on September 5. We will get to find out the sex of the baby at that time. I can't wait!!!!!! We have not really worked on names yet although we do have one girls name. I didn't think that it was a good use of time to choose both boy and girl names until we know what we are having. Only 4 weeks!
