I didn't suck in at all here. :-O
And no control top panty hose...
Feeling like in stage of not looking pregnant,
and instead feeling excruciatingly fat and bloated.

Baby: his/her head is now only one third of the size of the body. And is somewhere between the size of a shrimp, peach, or lemon...depending on the website and app you go by. Tiny little fingers now have finger prints, and all the organs forming are visible through the transparent skin. 

What to pray for: The baby's voice. For the vocal cords, wind pipe, larynx, pharynx, and all other little organs associated with speech to form correctly. For our little one to speak only positive things, and avoid things such as gossip and abusive language. For our child to have a sweet singing voice for the Lord, and joy to spring from his or her lips. 

Mommy: feeling much better lately when it comes to nausea! If I do not stay up on my water intake constipation/that bloated fat feeling comes on quite quickly. Fatigue is still hanging in, but I really feel I have done pretty well with not taking excessive naps this first trimester. Hard to believe that this is my last week in the first tri. Next week begins the second trimester and our next peek into the tiny world of our baby at our u/s on the 20th. 

Maternity Clothes: I really don't have many half banded things, so I have been trying to avoid maternity clothes. But I did buy a cute dress for $8 at JCPenny, and love my clearance shorts I picked up from there when I was pregnant for the very first time. I think I may pick up another pair, even though they are $25 (I am feeling super cheap with clothes lately...). I am in the inbetween stage where maternity clothes aren't really necessary, but feel SO much better than having to squeeze into my other shorts.
