Growing: 3-6 months

I thought it'd be fun to post some pictures of my belly's progression.  Really, I don't have any pre-three month pictures, because lets, face it...What for?!  Even the three month picture is pretty anticlimactic, and yet three months is a huge landmark for a pregnancy--the end of the precarious first trimester.  Anyway, for your viewing pleasure, I've uploaded the pictures I've been taking on my cell phone.  So here they are: welcome to the last three months of my pregnancy! ;)

12 weeks--3 months...notice I am still wearing my normal jeans without any discomfort.
16 weeks--4 months...not much change.

20 weeks--5 months.  There's a little bump, but nothing to blog about!

The inside view at 20 weeks.  Nice profile, right?

Apparently, a month ago she was still small enough to stretch out entirely.  I think she's got runner's legs. ;)

24 weeks--6 months (today)...I am shocked by how much she's grown in this last month!!  I finally have a decent bump and look pregnant!

So there you have it.  Monday we have another doctor's appointment.  Aside from the routine ultrasound, this time I'm also getting my glucose levels checked to rule out the possibility of gestational diabetes.  Fun times.  Apparently I get to drive all the way to Málaga without eating, get blood drawn, drink a super-sweet syrup, and then sit (not allowed to move) for an hour at which point they'll take another blood sample.  Sound fun?  ...yeah, that's what I thought, too.  I am wondering if I'll even feel like having breakfast by the time I can eat!  And thank goodness I'm through getting so sick if I go without food for longer than an hour and a half. ;)  It should be interesting to say the least.  I'll be sure to update all of you and of course post the new ultrasound pics.
