Things are developing nicely, but quite painfully. I experienced round ligament pain for the first time today. I just thought it was normal cramping from the uterus expanding, but when I googled it tonight, round ligament pain was the first thing to come up, and wow - it was word for word, exactly what I was experiencing. It makes me feel better about it though, and it's nice to know it's not abnormal.

We're both going crazy, counting down until we find out the gender of our little one. Lots of people keep asking us why we're not just letting it be a surprise, but to be honest, we are just way too curious for that. We're having a hard enough time just waiting the few more weeks until April 4th! :)

I'm having a hard time realizing that I'm in my 4th month of pregnancy, and yet - I still have 6 whole months (and 1 day!) until my due date. I'm very sure that the time will just fly by, and by the time September 20th rolls around, I'll be amazed by how fast the time went, but for now... it just seems to be dragging by.

I'm showing much faster than I expected to. I'm already sick of people asking me if I'm having twins - no, I most certainly am not. I'm sure I'll get a lot throughout the pregnancy, if my bump keeps progressing as it has so far.

Jesse is being an amazing daddy already. He rubs my belly everyday, and holds it while we're sleeping. He tells me what a beautiful pregnant woman I am, and although I don't always believe him, it's still beyond nice to hear. Nothing makes me happier than when he kisses my belly, and talks to our little Peanut. :)

Our appointment today went well. My weight has dropped about 3 kilograms, but my blood pressure is normal. The doctor had a hard time finding the heartbeat at first and questioned why it was so faint, but I think the baby was just in a tough position. He ended up telling us it was steady at 140bpm after a few minutes. That's about all that happened at our appointment today. Hopefully we will be able to find out the sex at the next appointment on April 4th.
