Bump

By
Regardless of what Justin says, I know that I have a bump. Albeit a small one. I've taken pictures every Thursday for the past 3 weeks. I realized that we should have thought through the pictures more, because I'm not 100% comfortable posting for the world to see. This week's picture will be different - more family friendly (which makes my other pictures seem adultish - they aren't). 

My clothes are starting to get tight - especially my pants. Fortunately, most of my jeans have low rises - so they still fit. The bum is the only area getting tighter. :(  I'm fighting the butt expansion as much as I can - within reason. I also ordered a few things from a maternity designer that came in last week. They are cute and will give me good, stylish basics once I'm big enough...probably a couple more weeks.

So far, I've gained about 3 pounds - which I think is ok. next trimester will be a different story - lots more weight. The baby will make up a lot of this - at least I hope so!

Tomorrow is my nuchal scan. This scan measures the back of the neck and the nose bridge and is used as an initial screen for certain genetic diseases. It's a bit nerve wracking. We're hopeful that everything is going to be fine. Obviously more on that later.

The other big news is that I'm planning on telling my team at work that I'm pregnant. I can join the legions of others that are pregnant at work. Should be interesting. I'll be happy to not feel like I need to check what I say and to share what I'm experiencing.

Echo echo echo...

We welcomed a new pet to our home: Echo, a lovely red Betta. The name is all Spence, though he did pose a few other suggestions. Spence: I'm going to name it Bluey. Me: the fish is red. Spence: then I'll name it Reddy. Me: Let's stick with Echo. That's a cool name.

Sunday Afternoon in the Park

By
Could be a well known play, but in this case, it's the new Yankee Stadium. I picked up tickets Thursday afternoon for today's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. This is the first game we've been to at the new stadium. The new stadium is very nice - much more in line with other new stadiums. There is a lot more space in the walkways - more food options - and much better bathrooms! The latter being most important to me right now. Our tickets were in left field in the upper deck. All in all, decent seats - but the sun made them a bit unbearable. The game started off slow - I mean slow. The first two innings took almost 2 hours. We were roasting in the sun! Eventually, we decided to walk around to check out the rest of the stadium and get out of the sun. The game got much better after we starting moving. Eventually, we ended up on the first level watching the game from the walkway. The pregnancy bump paid off, because one of the ushers in this area let us sit down in the shade
