So the belly pictures begin. Not much to pose with yet, although Melissa can tell a difference. We are both looking forward to the next trimester as Melissa will hopefully have a little more energy and tolerance for foods of the healthy variety. We were eating pretty healthy around here during the holidays and enjoyed eating the mighty greens and good grains like kale and quinoa. Then, starting about week 6 those things were no longer on the menu. There were a few weeks that Melissa could not even bring herself to say the word "kale" let alone go near it in the supermarket.
We're headed to the doctor this Friday to have an ultrasound and hear the heartbeat. I read in a book that if you can't make it to the appointment as the dad, you should send a tape recorder with mom so that she can record the heartbeat. We'll see if I have time to squeeze it into my schedule (you know, one of the most awesome things we'll ever experience).
We're well on our way to preparing for our little passenger. We signed up for birthing classes in June and we're excited to start that process. We're also reading books and articles to prepare ourselves as much as possible on this end, knowing that we still won't have any idea what we're doing when the time comes.
Until next time, you stay classy, Denver...or wherever you're reading this from.
