Welcome!

Welcome to my first "baby-post".

A little update on things:

- According to things I've read, the baby is about 4.5 inches and my uterus is roughly the size of a cantelope.
- I have lost weight, not gained weight since I found out I was pregnant. According to my at home scale (going from the weight I was at my first appointment) I've lost about 2-3 pounds.
- I'm still experiencing some of the sickness, but it seems to be subsiding a little (but according to Ryan I've been saying that for weeks).
- I'm not REALLY showing yet, but there's a little bulge in what was once a fairly flat stomach. I guess that's what happens when you swollow a cantelope whole.
- I'll be 16 weeks on Wednesday - the same day as our next appointment. While at our appointment we should be getting info on where to go for our first ultrasound. We plan to schedule it for some time in the next two weeks at which point we'll be able to find out the sex of the baby.
- I don't really have any cravings (I'm not waking up at midnight screaming at Ryan to get my peppermints and peanut butter) but I have noticed that when I'm staring down a jug of chocolate milk home girl can't resist. Same goes for hot chocolate - but that could be because of the weather.

Perhaps Wednesday I'll have some more exciting things to share, but from what I hear the appointments are pretty lame and won't tell me much of anything (just check for heartbeat, etc.)
