Well, as of tomorrow I will be 13 weeks pregnant. Not much of a tummy yet. As of this morning, I'm only two and a half pounds over where I started - less than last time I mentioned it. I have a feeling that has to do with food aversions and getting sick, but don't worry - I am eating! I eat three meals a day and try to have a snack in between each. It just doesn't seem to be putting on the weight like I expected it to. I know I'm in the first trimester and not supposed to gain a ton of weight, but the books said that I would be putting on about a pound a week starting a month ago and it just hasn't happened yet.
I'm wondering when I will really start to look pregnant, too... as of now, I can only wear my pants that have stretchy waist bands - but it's been that way for several weeks now and it's really not too noticeable to the naked eye. Don't get me wrong - I don't want to rush it! I'm just curious. A few of my friends have said that they're starting to see a little bit of rounding out in my belly, but Andy still doesn't think I look pregnant. Or maybe he's being nice.... :) Mom helped me out the other day by taking me shopping for some maternity clothes to get my wardrobe started.
I will be taking my first business trip to Atlanta since getting pregnant this Sunday through Thursday. Hopefully everything goes well and stays comfortable! The day I return will be the start of my second trimester (and Dad's birthday!). I'm hoping that the second trimester is more comfortable than the first! At least less sickly...

Well I'm certainly no expert, but Michele said she didn't show at all during her 1st trimester. She actually lost weight and fit into her "skinny" jeans. And another friend of mine...you couldn't even tell any difference when she was starting her 4th month... I think it's normal.
Hey, Steff! You're cute. Sounds to me like "normal" stuff. In about 4 - 5 months, when you can no longer see your feet, you'll be writing from a different viewpoint. Have a good trip. Lord, keep Steffani in Your "pocket of peace."
Love & prayers, Kathy
P.S. Oh dear...sounds like you're going to miss The Good Books! We'll be missing you.
Hey Steff,
With all three of my pregnancies I didn't start showing until around my fifth month. You'll just wake up one morning and your tummy will have popped. Also all three of my pregnancies I only gained anywhere from 10-15 pounds and I had healthy babies everytime. So it's normal to not be "normal"! :) Anyway, hope I helped somehow. Have a good trip.
