This isn't the first picture we have taken of "the belly" as we like to say, but this is probably the first one that is more than just bloating. I am now in my 15th week of pregnancy (25 weeks to go). The baby is 4 inches long and weighs only a few ounces. He/she is roughly the size of an apple. Now officially in my 2nd trimester - I feel better and I look forward to rapid growth (for baby & mommy) for the rest of my pregnancy. I am spending a lot of time daydreaming of the perfect name, birth plan, nursery, work schedule, on & on... Mostly I look forward to sharing the joy of this new life with everyone.
