The nuchal-fold screening

Baby Brock is doing well! My last ultrasound showed him (or her) just jumping around and doing somersaults like crazy! It was really funny, and the more I laughed, the more she (or he) jumped! Andrew wasn’t able to make it to that appointment, though.

I’m really tired all the time, but I found that eating a piece of fruit, especially bananas, and drinking a glass of ice water around (what my body thought was) nap-time really helps perk me up!

I'm just starting to show, which feels a little weird. Feeling very fat rather than pregnant! I had to go through my closet last weekend and box up everything that no longer fit, and now my closet is depressingly empty, and getting emptier, as I grow out of more stuff. My cousin Beth loaned me all her maternity clothes, but I'm not quite big enough to fit into them, yet. My best friend Miriam is supposed to loan me hers, too, when I can find some time to get to Birmingham! I went to Forever 21 over Christmas and bought several suits in a size large to get me through work for a while. Just simple black/gray things. I'm heading to Target this week, too, to check out their maternity department because I've heard it's really good, and I need some tops! I just can't fathom spending a lot on stuff I'll only wear for a few months! I can't wait until summer when the dress code at work relaxes, and I can start wearing sundresses instead of suits.
