Look, It's a Baby!

It's hard to believe that the tiny bean image I looked at in July has grown so quickly to become this adorable baby (um, well, it's adorable to me)! As you can see, Bambino Macfarlane has a very healthy looking spine, a big head, and tiny feet and hands. Although I can't feel a thing, this baby was quite mobile when we took this pictures on September 7.

Last week, I finally told work about the pregnancy. Everyone was thrilled. I was especially pleased by all the hootin' and hollerin' my former co-workers Amanda and Maybelline both displayed when I told them. They are right up there with my mom as far as exciting reactions!

Then, as soon as I told work, it's like Bambino had permission to show itself to the world because the next day my stomach expanded. I complained in my last post about clothing, but I had no idea what fun was in store for me. It took me 40 minutes to try on every blouse and sweater twinset in my closet this morning. I think I have 3 things that fit. Don't believe me--my waist has grown an inch in 1 week! I'm certain this sudden expansion has more to do with gas than a growth spurt by Bambino, but an expansion nonetheless! It's really exciting to begin showing, but at the same time, I am extremely uncomfortable. I'm really going to have to learn how to eat smaller meals!

We will find out the sex of Bambino on October 3, so we're very excited about that so we can narrow down the name search. Initially, I thought we'd have a name picked out before we knew the sex, but we're still digging through the books for the perfect gem.

Keith's telling me it's time for bed, so until next time...
