Big Brother Jared!

What a great big brother he'll be!

13 week ultrasound - the baby is facing down, head on the right side

Jared will become a big brother in the middle of September!  We are very excited about this, although Jared doesn't really understand it yet.  He does point to my belly when I ask him where the baby is, and he can say Baby, which is so cute.  We got our 2nd ultrasound today, and everything is looking good.  To answer everyone's follow-up question: no, we are not going to find out the gender of the baby.  We have a lot of gender-neutral stuff from Jared that the child can wear if it's a girl. (fingers crossed!)

I have been getting pretty queasy in the evenings, especially around dinnertime.  Although it has been getting better over the past few weeks, I still don't feel great.  This is very different from Jared's pregnancy.  I am feeling like I am showing earlier too.  I am actually already wearing maternity pants, which is way earlier than the first time.  I don't really have much of a belly yet; I am in the "fat stage" of pregnancy where your clothes don't fit and you don't really look pregnant yet.
