Now, onto the fun stuff...cravings so far - definitely Mexican food as I shared before and noodles with butter and parmesan cheese. I haven't eaten noodles with butter and parm since I was a kid but it sure hits the spot now! I definitely look like I've gained about 10-15 lbs - I have that spare tire action happening to my mid section but I'm not really showing yet. Most of my bottoms don't fit very comfortably anymore. I have managed to avoid the rubber band trick that most of my friends have told me about...that truly sounds worse than packing my gut into my "old" pants! Also the not so fun stuff...my face doesn't seem to want to stay clear. It's not mega zitty, not like a pizza face but definitely not as clear as it was before pregnancy. And my back hurts...not sure why it hurts already because like I said earlier, I haven't really gained weight and it's not having to support a big tum tum yet.
My gut feeling has been boy up until about 2 weeks ago and then I wasn't so sure! It was confirmed at this week's appointment - we are having a BOY, a bouncing baby BOY! I wasn't sure we would be able to find out so early, but with a 3D ultrasound it was pretty obvious! See below for u/s pic - if you click on it, I think it enlarges it. As soon as I have an actual belly, I will post pictures for you all to witness the transformation.
So, now that you know all about the good & bad of my pregnancy I am sure you can sleep much better tonight! I am sure you were all dying to find out that my face is breaking out...sorry if that was too much information! :) Have a wonderful weekend!

I am so happy that you have been gettng along great. With both of my girls I thought I was having a boy. but I only had on ultra sound early so we didn't find out. you are one of lucky not to get sick. I got sick I think as soon I found out I was going to have a baby not in a bad way I think my head just thought I now we need to get moring sickness. As for the face it will go away hopefully mine did that after I had Kerstin It is just your body changing. Can't wait to see pics of the growing belly.lol
Congratulations! So glad you are past the rough part, even though it doesn't sound like it was too rough on you. Still 1st trimester is scary and now you can relax and just wait for him to arrive! I always had clear skin until I got pregant with Jack, and it still hasn't cleared up. So if I were you I'd blame it on those little boy hormones he's producing in there! Looking forward to more updates!
Hey Jen,
Congrats on the little baby boy!! Although, I was really hoping for a girl... Brooklyn needs a playmate :) Guess she'll just have to be "one of the boys"...maybe Janel will pop me out a girl! :) And good for you for finding out early!! So excited for you!! Can't wait to see you! Have a great week!
Love ya!
Congratulations on the baby boy! That's so exciting. I'm glad to hear things are going so well for you! Can't wait to hear more about it! Have a great week!
Hi Jen and Cameron!
This is so exciting to be able to follow along with your pregnancy so closely. I wish you were still working her Jen so we can talk about it every minute!!! At least I can read about it and get my fix! Congrats on making it through the 1st trimester. I can't believe it was that easy for you. Can I admit I am a little jealous? :)
Can't wait to hear more.
Kim
