My mom, sister and I went to the Minnesota State Fair today, and I thought it was only appropriate that I have a pronto pup in my belly pic this week!
In the last week, I definitely feel as if my belly has gotten bigger and is hardening a lot. I notice it more when I'm sleeping, and sadly, I think my full-on tummy sleeping days are over! At the fair today, I was wishing I had this tank top to wear, as I feel a bit conspicuous, although I don't think any stranger would ever come out and ask me if I'm pregnant just yet.
I am still feeling good. I had an appointment with the midwife on Wednesday, and all went well - we heard the heartbeat again, I got weighed (I'm up approximately 8 pounds from pre-pregnancy), and my blood pressure is low. There was actually a young male student observing my appointment, and I could tell he was a newbie. He started out trying to find the heartbeat way over to the side, and the midwife just said "Umm, actually I'd try right in the middle" and low and behold, there it was ;) The student then said "huh, lucky guess!"
I'm not feeling any distinct movement yet, but hopefully it will happen soon. Supposedly any time after 16 weeks is normal, but my midwife said that many first time moms don't feel anything until closer to 20 weeks. Sometimes I think I MIGHT be feeling something, but it also could be gas or digestion :)
Also, as an update, I'm still doing good on not going to any message boards!

Love the pronto pup inclusion! You are sooo cute Erin!
Congratulations! You look amazing. :)
I am not doing good on staying away from message boards either, but I am doing better about only reading posts with positive titles. That's progress I think.
