This picture definitely explains why my pants are getting tighter, I have gotten quite chubby this week.  The crazy part is that I have only gained 3.6 pounds it looks like so much more.  Sean is convinced that I am arching my back, it must be his way of telling me I don’t really look that big.  Onto something besides my chubby belly and weight gain or I might start getting self conscious.

I am still feeling amazing in terms of the pregnancy not so much in the cold I have had all week.  I know I have said that many times through out the last 8 weeks but I truly am luck at how the first trimester has gone.  I only hope that any future pregnancies go just as well.

Having now announced it to the world I am excited to no longer be hiding this secret.  Finally I have even more people I can talk about it to, which might give my family a little bit of a break.  Although they are all too nice to say anything I imagine they are just tired of hearing about it, they are going to wish I hadn’t told them 8 weeks ago.

Carlos is really stretching out this week, he has now grown to the size of a lemon at  3 1/2 inches and weighs 1 1/2 ounces.  He can now grasp, suck his thumb and make all kinds of faces.  I am pretty sure there really isn’t anything cuter than a baby making cute or silly faces.
