This baby is leaving me breathless - literally! I'm noticing a major lack of air in general in my body - a simple stroll makes me feel like I am going for a jog! As the bump grows I guess that's normal, but I've been warned it will probably persist throughout the pregnancy.
My bump really popped this week - that winter jacket is starting to fit pretty snug so I hope it warms up pretty soon! I've been sleeping a little better but definitely pulled a muscle helping Jared with snow removal yesterday, which did not help with my discomfort. Evidently my muscles and ligaments are pretty loose right now. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow (thank Goodness for Google Calendar or I would have forgotten!) and an ultrasound the first week in May, at which point I will be close to 20 weeks. I'm hoping that our baby will cooperate and show us what we're having!
No picture this week - barely a bump to show.

What I’m excited about/looking forward to: My doctor's appointment tomorrow - not an ultrasound but I at least find out if my tests came back normal!
