14 weeks

The crib arrived!! Right now it's just sitting in our living room but hopefully this weekend we will put it together. It's too bad my baby bubby just left town to go back to college, maybe I could have sweet-talked him into putting it together for me. He's so smart. Too late now though.

So, I'm 14 weeks along now. V Jr. is now the size of a lemon. No big changes. My jeans today wouldn't button. I have some handy cloth bands that look like the bottom of a tank top that I wear to hide when my pants won't button. Also, apparently they help when maternity pants are a little too big, the bands help hold them up. Fun times. Happily my giant pimple has gone away for the most part. I still think my face looks weird and I don't like my hair. But, the pimple is gone...

13 weeks

I've had a pretty easy pregnancy so far. Not really any nausea, I'm tired but not fatigued. I was pretty irritable but that seems to be going away. The biggest thing is, I've started getting pimples again!!! And not just normal ones like in high school that would go away in a day or two. These suckers are huge, bright red, and won't go away at all! I'm had one on my chin for the last 3 weeks.

Today we took 13 week pictures. V Jr. is the size of a peach. I don't think my tummy has gotten much bigger but a random lady who I see maybe twice a year looked at me through my winter coat and asked if I was pregnant. So, either she's really rude or I'm starting to get bigger. However, apparently my face has become super duper enormous!! I'm looking at these pictures and wondering 1) if my face can get bigger without it exploding, 2) if I weigh 500 pounds, and 3) if I should grow my hair out so I look less fat by drawing less attention to my fat face. V says this is my hormones speaking, but it's not... it's the fat talking.

So, here's V Jr. at 13 weeks. The first one is a close up because V had too much fun posing me and forgot the point of the pictures are the tummy. That's ok though, plenty more fruit to perfect the pictures.

My ode to Thomas Crown Affair

William Tell's son had nothing on me. This is one of the ones in which I look enormous. Just look at my neck rolls and circular face.

Knocked up

Since all three of my followers are family, you all know I'm preggers. Since I only see one of my followers on a daily basis, I decided I should try to be better about documenting my growing tummy. However, I didn't want to do the traditional, stand-to-the-side and hold down my shirt pics. Big sis sent me a cute website in which the lady took her baby bump pics with the fruit of the week. (for you followers other than v, basically every pregnancy email says this week your baby is the size of _______ and lists a fruit.) So, that's what we decided to do. Unfortunately, the blog K sent me is run by a professional photographer so obviously our pics aren't as good as hers. But, it's a fun thing to do together and hopefully it makes the rest of you feel more caught up... if you wanted to. If not, feel free to defriend me. But, since there are only three of you I'll know who you are.

So... here I am with Victor/Victoria Jr. at 9 weeks old
