Prego

Well, the cat's out of the bag...Justin and I are expecting our 2nd baby! I have been off of birth control for 10 months, and it's finally happened! We are so very excited.

I will be using my blog as a way to keep track of my "pregnancy progress".

Right now I am about 4 weeks pregnant, give or take a couple days.

Here is what my baby and I look like at the 4 week mark...

The little one is smaller than a grain of rice and weighs only a fraction of an ounce. But he/she is already hard at work. The tiny body is transforming by the second, each layer is developing perfectly. Right now, it's tiny nerves and spinal cord are developing.

Here are my week 4 stats:

Symptoms: None, I feel good. Perfectly normal!

Weight: 109 lbs.

Waist size: 26 1/2"

(Prepare to see these numbers balloon over the course of the next 9 months!)

We goal weight gain for this 2nd pregnancy is 30-35 lbs. I gained 42 with Javen because all I did was stand around at work and eat vending machine snacks. This time I have a 2 year old to chase after, so I should be able to maintain a slightly healthier weight gain.

Keep checking back for weekly updates! I'm sure there will be some name-voting posts to come as well!
