The Belly Has Arrived....



OK, it arrived awhile ago but these are the first official photos of it. I'm 24 weeks pregnant and according to the doc (I had an appointment this morning) the baby is about one pound and 1 foot long. Sleeping is a little troublesome due to my ab muscles stretching and tearing as the baby and organs move into my chest cavity (no wonder it's hard to breath!). The doc reassured me that the pain will subside but the pressure I feel is likely the baby wedging him/herself under my ribcage. Other than that issue I'm feeling fantastic. I can still do my regular exercise routine and count on that to keep me energized, fit and to relieve stress. I'm also taking prenatal yoga with a friend and that's helped with my flexibility, which has progressively gotten worse as I get larger. I hope the photos help you to feel more a part of my pregnancy, especially those who are so far away.



PS) Mike, any snide comments about the photos and I give Mara permission to beat you senseless : )
