It's official! I am in the second trimester! Supposedly this is the "magical-feeling-great" trimester. I was never sick so I can't comment on that. But I am starting to get my energy back. And while most of the baby development from here on out is just growth (all the vital systems developed in the first trimester) there is still plenty of excitement to look forward to. The ultrasound is scheduled for July 30th. And I could start feeling movement today, next week, in a few weeks (who knows)! I suspect I may have felt some fluttering this morning but with a first time baby it's hard to tell. It's been described to me as a goldfish swimming around inside you, which is what it felt like. But then again...it could have just been gas. If you're interested in the nitty gritty details of Lovey's development the following links should help (but be warned, different sources claim developmental milestones occur at different times).

We've taken a few pictures of my belly to document the changes (one the day we found out we were expecting and one at about 8 weeks). Yesterday we took another and it's much more interesting than the first two (and more flattering). So, here it is!
