my goodness did this week ever fly by! i guess that's what happens when you spend most of your days out of town hangin' by a pool. man it was a good one!
well the bean is progressing along just lovely. we're at the end of the 1st trimester and now at the peach stage, which is funny because while in atlanta i was eating peaches like they were going out of style. i actually had 3 yesterday! the little nugget is also starting to push it's way forward and become a bit more noticeable these days. i can't wait until i actually look preggo and not just fat and bloated. it's a fine like between looking like you've just had a few too many beers, and looking like you're with child.
last night we went out to dinner with a few of our couple friends who've recently had children and it was comforting to see that people really can still socialize with the living, even after newly becoming parents. it's also really great that so many of our friends are now having kids and that we're not the first in the bunch. i would imagine that that's a hard spot to be in. so it's looking like our little bean will be happily surrounded by buddies, and as one of evans friends put it, kindergarten is going to get a whole lot cooler in about 5 years!

and according to The Bump this week...

so not much change as far as the belly is concerned. it's starting to feel a little harder these days, and my jeans are feeling a bit snugger, but definitely not looking preggo just yet. after weeks of nausea my appetite has come back... with a vengeance! breakfast and dinner don't really thrill me at all, but lunch, now that's where i really hit my stride!

favorite things this week...

grapefruit
my new body pillow
blueberry bagels
my beband (for the days of serious bloat!)
franks hot sauce


not favorite things this week...

becoming suddenly clumsier then i usually am (and i'm never one for gracefulness)
lower back pain
being turned off by broccoli (this actually started as soon as i became pregnant, bummer!)


i can't believe i'm already 3 months in! 1/3 of the way there... ahhhh! i'm juggling 5 different pregnancy books and reading a ton of blogs and so far the best advice i've gotten is from a friend of ours. she's the momma of a lovely little lady and she said "it's much less about learning, and much more about listening to your gut!" i've always been a good gut listener so i'm feeling pretty good about that advice!
