The case of the missing belly button

My belly button has disappeared. It's really scary, occasionally it's a little line indentation, other times the place where it once was turns inside out... crazy! I've also decided that this is probably the most traumatic time of this whole ordeal for me. I've become a 'fat girl'. I don't really look pregnant yet, just fat. It's really hard, I can't fit into most of my normal shirts, so I just wear big clothes and people look at me like I'm a fat girl, and I don't really know how to react. I guess it's a lesson, almost like wearing the fat suit, and realizing how differently people do treat you. I've also realized how I perceive people who are overweight, although I tend to view them as prospective clients more than anything else. I've heard that eventually I'll move to the looking pregnant stage, but right now it's just a little challenging.

It's a....

Very active baby! We had the first ultrasound today and got to see the baby in it's home. The little one is very active and looks perfect! Unfortunately the gender is still unknown because despite moving around so much he/she didn't want to reveal all. The pictures show a good view of the head and face, we got to see the mouth opening and closing and beautiful fingers and toes. The Doctor says that everything looks great and that the ETA of June 13th is pretty accurate.

In The Beginning

I'm still not sure about this whole blog thing, but I figure I'll give it a try. Hopefully this will work as a place I can share updates about the going's on of life and the progression and growth of baby Manning.
