Well it's been quite an incredible past few weeks! I've had my first major midwife appointment where I heard my baby's heartbeat for the first time. He/she is a very active little dynamo, and as with the scan, he was busy zipping all over the place and making the medical staff have to chase him from one side of my tummy to the other! I also had various tests and filled in mountains of paperwork. The things they ask you! I didn't think I'd ever be discussing nipples with total strangers but there you go! I also now can feel my little darling moving around inside me. All the books say you don't feel anything for at least another two weeks, but for three days now I have been feeling really light fluttery sensations on and off, mostly when I am sitting down quietly, that I have never felt before in my life. It's absolutely brilliant :) Here is a pic of me at 14 1/2 weeks (3 1/2 months) looking decidedly 'solid'! My butt is getting to be the size of Mt Everest. The pregnancy books give you a general idea of what happens to you, but living through it is a whole different thing! I'm slowly feeling like I have more energy but am definitely still partial to the odd catnap wherever and whenever I can take one!
