7 Weeks

This week I'm really feeling like a stuffed sausage.  I'm not feeling pretty at all and I'm watching my nice figure disappear before my eyes.  It's quite difficult to watch.  But I'm so thankful for my awesome husband who reassures that I don't look like a stuffed sausage... yet.  So far, 2 lbs gained.  Not too bad for 7 weeks.  I'm only 4 weeks away from my 2nd trimester, and some women have told me they gained A LOT of weight in the first trimester.  But so far so good!  At 8 weeks I'll start taking pictures of my belly.  It'll just be a fun way to see how much I expand.  This way you can decide if I really do look like a stuffed sausage.  :)

Regarding work, I'm going to try and make it through July and August before I have to tell my boss.  I don't know how that's going to work since my belly is growing quite a bit.  I'm still going to the gym with a friend from work, but with me still gaining weight they may catch on early.  So keep your fingers crossed that I can make it through without too much trouble!  

I'm also planning to keep myself busy throughout this pregnancy by reading booking that my good friend Kendra gave me to read:

  

Nothing else really new or exciting this week.  I'm just looking forward to my appointment on August 9th and ultrasound on August 23rd!
