14 weeks...

Here's the 14 week picture...a little late, but better late then never, right? I'm 15 weeks today, but Kevin is in Chicago this weekend, so no one is here to take tummy pics. We'll get 15 weeks posted when we can.

I'm in the process of packing for our trip to Asia...we leave tomorrow morning. It's seriously frustrating, and in many ways a little demoralizing. I'm at that point where I'm still too "normal" to fit in maternity clothes, but still too "pregnant" to fit in normal clothes. So everything I have is slightly too tight, or seriously too big. This makes packing for 3 weeks a bit of a chore. I leave at 15 weeks, and return at 18 weeks...supposedly, there is A LOT of growth that takes place in those 3 weeks. So I have to plan for things that fit now, but that might not fit as well 3 weeks from now. Needless to say, I'm packing way more then I want to. I just don't know what's going to fit!

Now, on top of that...we are spending the last week of our trip on the beach. Hmmm...swimsuit. So, I put on my swimsuits this week, you know, just to make sure. Ok, really? Let's just say that there are parts of my anatomy that clearly don't fit in my swimsuits anymore. The bikini tops cover so little of pregnancy-enhanced "girls" that I look like I should be on the cover of one of those trashy men's magazines. Additionally, it is a common misconception that you are growing a baby in your tummy. Actually, if you look at the evidence, I am growing a baby in my butt...since this seems to be the location of the most increase. So, now I have to go out and purchase swimsuits that will hopefully fit me in 2 weeks. This was a little hard as it's mid-August, and NO ONE has swimsuits anymore. I pieced a few together, with only a few tears shed and slight damage to my psyche, and should be decently covered in Bali. Just don't expect any swimsuit pictures to circulate post trip!

So here's our 14 week pic. We will be back in three weeks and will post an update then...maybe even a more obvious tummy, and lots of fun trip details!
