Nope- I'm not "Rockin' The Beer Gut", it's my 13-week baby bump!!! (I took this about 1/2 hour after I ate in order to get the bump in all it's full-belly glory)
That's right- D and I are expecting Baby Niko on March 20!
We wanted to keep it on the DL until after the first trimester- since sometimes I can't even tell if anything is going on in there! I had a couple weeks of nausea and a lot of weeks of tiredness and an general feeling of Uck!, but overall I've been fine. My poor sister is preggers too, and she is deathly ill! 8 months and only gained like 12 pounds (she gained 38 with each of the last two!) cause she pukes all the time- even with anti-nausea meds. Guess I'm super lucky!
I still can't stand the thought or smell of beef, chicken, eggs, or anything that's smoked or barbecued. Yuck! Wheat Thins have been my favorite go-to snack, especially coupled with those delicious BlueBel soft cheese wedges. And thank goodness- I have eliminated Diet Cokes completely. Strangely enough, the ONLY thing I want to drink is iced tea- which puts me in quite the predicament. I haven't given in yet so pray for me to stay strong!!!
I just told everyone at work last week and for some reason I am super embarrassed that everyone is talking about it. Maybe it's my hormones? Or the fact that now everyone knows FOR SURE that my hubby (of 5 years!) and I "do it" (or at least "did it")? Hmmm. SOOOOO- if I act not excited or shy about this to any of you- ignore me. I'm a nut.
Anyway- hopefully this explains any oddball behavior D and I have been exhibiting... I'm sure there is loads more to come... :)
