keep on keepin on...

my belly is certainly growing. i'm already almost 13 weeks.  i wore a skirt today that i couldn't zip up all the way. most of my pants are pretty snug. sometimes i feel like i'm imagining the growth but then i look down and there is this very obvious bump.   

                                                                                 

according to babycenter.com the baby is now the size of a lime.  crazy to think that in just 9 short weeks we have gone from the size of a poppy seed to a lime.

people said it would happen & it is. i've entered in to the 2nd trimester & it's like clockwork. i feel fantastic. my energy has rapidly increased. case in point...it is almost 11pm & i am wide awake after being up since 7:45 this morning. 3 weeks ago if i had gotten up at 9am i would have taken a two hour nap in the afternoon & would have been in bed no later than 9pm. so this is like a miracle to have this much energy & to be feeling this good!
