Well I'm officially 13 weeks pregnant and let me tell you about these changes to my body.  It's amazing what 15 pounds can do to a body!  I get winded walking up stairs and yes . . . I'm only 1/3 of the way through this pregnancy.  It's almost as if I smoke again.  I can barely finish laundry in my house.  I'm going to have to look at getting main floor laundry installed somehow.  It might be expensive but right now it would so be worth it.

Ladies, let's talk about the back side and "the girls" or the chest area, however you'd like to refer to it.  My goodness I woke up one morning and here's this bubbly looking appendage if you will located where my butt use to be.  It's huge!  How does that happen over night I mean I should have felt something like that right?  And my chest, WOW!  Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining at all about this area.  I now understand why women get implants.  They're absolutely perfect right now so of course I hope this lasts as long as possible.

My stomach, well it's getting there but it doesn't by any means distract from either of the more well endowed areas.  But I'm sure that's just a matter of time.  For right now, it looks like I have a bit of a beer gut :-)

I can't wait to see what'll happen in the next 3 months.  And I really can't wait to share it with you all!
