For those interested...

I will not be offended if you do not care to see what I look like pregnant. I must say, I've lost all desire to shower as frequently, wear make up or put on normal clothes. But I do have to run errands, work and go to meetings - so there are the days when I look like a normal human being.

Aside from my boobs getting bigger (sorry Kent), there are only little things that probably only Patrick and I notice changing about my body. I would rather not discuss moving up a size in jeans because that's a sore subject for me. I'm missing my very lean and cute size 4 and 6 jeans. However, I've decided and think I'm quite capable of doing a 10k or triathlon (or both!!!!) next summer. By July this precious fetus will be a five months old baby. That's plenty of time to get trained up, especially since I've been running and swimming during pregnancy.

But alas, here are picture of my not so pregnant looking self at 10 weeks (and 1 day):

Showing off my muscles that have faded since I was so sick for 3 weeks. They are coming back though. Don't worry.
Bare belly. My stomach used to be pretty flat and you can see the small bulge that I will happily blame on my short torso and my body's terrible habit of gaining weight quickly. :) Oh, and my stretching uterus is also to blame for this bump.

I'm so impressed that you're getting excited about exercising while preggers! and GOOD ON YOU for not listening to those weirdos who say not to lift more than a milk jug, even if the pregnancy is 100% healthy. Lift on, lady! oh, and I LOVE belly pics.:)
