Ramblings and a picture

B asked me to take some belly pictures so he can watch as I grow. I can tell he is having a harder time with this deployment. I miss him so much. I am trying to stay busy with work, friends, and as soon as the weather actually warms up – enjoying the sunshine. It was 34 degrees this morning! Very cold for here this time of year.

Yesterday I started having what I guess are round ligament pains – pains going down the sides of my belly. I also had some sharp pains in my cervix. I don’t know what caused the cervix pain but it has not returned so I am not going to get worried.

My parents are coming up from Florida next weekend. My mom and I are walking in the city half-marathon. I initially started training to run it, but found out I was pregnant about 2 weeks into the training. My work has a great training program set up with weekly group runs/walks on Saturday mornings and individual training during the week. The schedule has definitely helped me stay on track – with the exception of the 5-6 weeks I did nothing athletic besides running to the toilet to puke. I can’t say I am excited about the actual race, but I am really looking forward to completing it with my mom.

This is my 16 week belly picture. B says he can tell my belly has gotten more round since he saw me 2 weeks ago. He also asked if I have had to buy maternity pants yet or if my “muffin top guard” (belly band) was still allowing me to wear my old pants. I thought that was hilarious! :)

Aww! Cute belly shot! It's awesome you're staying busy while B is gone, I can't even imagine how hard that must be. Way to go with the half marathon walk! That rocks! Glad you're feeling ok except for the ligament pains. *hugs*

That is one cute little bump you have there! I'm so glad that you have the opportunity to at least share photos with your hubby right now and show him your progress. So exciting!

WOW - You look so good and so tiny - just a cute baby bump! I am jealous! I hope you keep tracking the belly shots - it's shocking to see it grow so quickly!

Yup, that sounds like RLP. As for the cervix pain, it happens. I had all sorts of funky pains, especially at 16 weeks. So glad to hear that things are continuing to go well! :)

You are too cute! HUGS!
