The Home Stretch, aka. Almost Through the Scary Part

[ 11w5d ]

Well, here is the beginnings of a baby belly. I read that in the 11th week the fetus doubles in size (only about 1.5 inches, but still), so it made sense when I noticed that some of pants started cutting in to my middrift this week. It's really exciting, though nobody else can tell. And I'm almost through the first trimester. It's been a long couple of weeks of praying and hoping the pregnancy sticks. It looks like it's going to.

This week, the exhaustion of the pregnancy seemed to lift. On Wednesday, I noticed that I felt considerably better and have continued to feel well the past few days. I ran almost 10 miles this week, and Adam and I signed up for a 5K race next weekend.

We're planning on letting the cat out of the bag next week -- telling our families, bosses and coworkers, and friends. We're really looking forward to not having to keep this to ourselves.
