15w5d pictures

I can't believe I am almost 16 weeks. For some reason I always thought that 16 week was a big milestone. I have no idea why, but I do.

Painting the nursery

These are the colors I have picked out so far. I am leaning toward the greens, but I guess I should see what Erik thinks first.

Oh and my 15 week belly pic

Ok, so it is really 14w5d, but close enough. Sometimes I think I just look fat and I am to early for a bump, then I see other girls that are in the same week as me and they have these cute little bumps, so I figure I can have a bump too.

13w5d bloat/belly

Here it is at 13w5d. I think I may have found The Squish on the doppler very briefly this afternoon.

I then went out and got a Snoogle. My back has been hurting so bad in the mornings. I got home and tried it out on the couch. I almost fell asleep instantly. So comfortable. I can't wait to try it tonight.

Guess what!

Today is my 27th birthday and today is 13w3d! Hello second tri!

Random though

I don't know why but sometime I feel like a pregnancy fraud. I think it stems from the fact that it took so long to get pregnant and stay pregnant. I am so used to telling myself that I am not pregnant and "oh this shirt makes me look pregnant (because I am plump)"

Now when I wear maternity I for some reason I feel weird when people look at me because I am only 13 weeks. I want to tell them "no it is just pudge right now" even though I know it is not.

I go into the maternity stores and though I know I need clothes and I would feel a lot better with them on, I feel strange for some reason. I feel like everyone at work is just looking at my stomach and it makes me feel weird.

I don't know why, I just had to get that off my chest. I know it is completely crazy and me just being in my head.

I am not expecting anyone to respond, I just had to get it out.

13 weeks! Holy Crap
