Well today was really special because I found out that Claudia y Raul are having a boy! It really hit me that we are having babies...for a mili-sec I thought it would be fun to find out too, but then I remembered why I am waiting.

Anyhow, my belly sure is growing. People at work are starting to talk about my belly like: "I think she is having a girl" or " I think you are having twins", etc. BTW...having twins...what am I becoming that big of a fat ass that you think I would be carrying twins! Geez...Joao said, "well Renee, this is what you have always wanted; people to talk about your belly". I was like SHUT UP JOAO! :)

When I bend down now, I can feel my stomach stretching like crazy and I cannot keep my hands off it...which I am sure is annoying to people at school who see me everyday. The doctor said the NT test came back NORMAL and baby is doing well. She said that baby can hear me so I am starting to talk to baby. Joao said he would start talking too if I would not listen, but I find that hard to do...jajaja

During the last ultra sound, the lady was trying to take all these measurements but baby was bouncing around, dancing, turning upside-down...it was so funny. The lady made me turn, cough, pee, and turn again; still baby was not cooperating....it just wanted to play! It was awesome to watch the baby for 40 minutes just hanging out. I am so falling in love with this little human inside me. I cannot wait to meet it.

Starting 14th week! WOW....

So now there is now way around this... Renee is pregnant... people can tell outright (the fact that she can't button her pants anymore helps, hehehehe).

Look at that belly growing! and it has nothing to do with the tacos she ate last night!!!

Starting the 13th week... and a few days, hehehe...

Well, our life is getting truly complicated with my finals, so keeping up with the pictures on exact days has been a bit of a challenge, so this week's pics come a a few days late (I mean they were taken also a few days late) so it's a bit of a mid week situation... So here they are! There is no way around this folks... she is no longer a bit chubby... she is pregnant for the world to see!!!!!

I agree... it's not huge yet, but who is in a hurry??? It will get there soon enough... it's already getting in the way as it is!

Starting the 12th week!

 

Well, funny to say...but I kinda lost track of how far along I am....hahaha
Here we go baby brain!

So- this weekend Joao and I went to Mexico for a wedding. As we were dancing Joao stopped and looked at me....he said, "holy cow babe, I can feel your belly against mine." I just started laughing so hard because it was true. My new discovery this week is the overwhelming feeling of the stretching of my tummy. It's crazy, my stomach is always sticking out and I can feel the stretching pain. :)

So, I guess you can say I am starting to show now. At least I can see it. My clothes still fit, my naps are slowing down, and I am beginning to become interested in food again. I already like the 2nd trimester!

If the rest of my pregnancy goes as fast as the first trimeseter...it will be May before I know it!
