Okay so here is an updated belly picture! I am starting to get to the point where my jeans aren't fitting very well and have gone out and purchased some of those leggings that seem to be in fashion at the moment. Maybe I'll luck out and be able to get away without having to buy much maternity wear!! My morning sickness and fatigue have faded away and I am feeling much better! I am no longer sick and have my appetite back now. I am feeling much more energetic and have started back into more physical activity. I have been walking more and started doing some simple leg exercises.

I have gained a little bit of weight and I am now back up to my pre-pregnancy weight. I am not sure how I am not weighing more than my pre-pregnancy weight when looking at myself in the mirror, and I have to believe I must have lost some muscle mass which is motivating me to get more active. I have also started to break out in my face quite a bit!!! No fun! I guess I traded the morning sickness for the acne on my face. I have started back onto the Arbonne skin care and hope that will take care of it. We will see. I have also noticed that I am getting headaches almost daily or every other day. From what I have read it must be due to the hormones I am experiencing. I have been able to avoid taking anything for them up to this point and hope to keep it that way. The doctors say I can take Tylenol but I prefer to avoid it if possible. I have to be careful about cooking or doing dishes, anything that causes me to be standing with my back hunched over for a long period of time. My back will start to tighten up and almost feel like muscle spasms. The only thing that helps when it gets to that point is to lie flat on my back. My father-in-law gave me a back support to use in the car and it is extremely helpful. I have no back pain at all when traveling!

Well, that's about all I have for now....We'll keep filling you in as we get closer!
