12 weeks, 4 days

Well, I've received a few requests for belly pictures, so here you go. I'm for sure showing faster with this one. It seems I'm in that fun "is she pregnant, or did she just eat a lot of pasta recently" phase. My waste has definitely thickened quite a bit in the last week or two, but my maternity clothes from Carson are humongous still. My regular jeans don't fit anymore, and I tried just going up a size, but then I just looked ridiculous (they fit in the waist and were humongous and saggy everywhere else), so my mom took me shopping for my birthday (which is Sunday, by the way :)) and I got some really cute maternity things that should fit for a while, and they don't look at all maternity - which is so fantastic. (oh the jeans in this picture are the ones that are the size up so that's why I look a little thick on bottom...oh well :).



I'm for sure showing faster with this one...compare the last picture with this one that was taken when I was 19 weeks pregnant with Carson. I guess your body really does have a memory the second time around...



Things with the house are going fine, just waiting to hear about the financing and all....this whole waiting thing is so stressful! But people continue to offer their services --- yay!!! Carson is doing well, he's cut a few more teeth, and is SO busy! We went to the fair today to see one of the girls in our youth group show her sheep for auction, and he was so funny. He was so interested in the animals...from a distance. When she brought her lamb to show Carson he was very interested in it, and then it bleated and he was SO terrified! He tried so hard to get out of his stroller and crawl away, and I was laughing so hard, it took me at least a minute or two to undo his buckle. Poor kid. Oh, another funny thing that happened today...I was giving him a bath and he pooped in the tub, and neither of us realized it at first, then he turned around and saw what was in the water, and he FREAKED OUT! Screaming crying and the whole bit. It was SO funny! Poor baby. At least I know he won't be playing in it any time soon!
