Good afternoon, dear Aric! How was last week for you? It was quite eventful for your dad and I. As your dad said before, we threw a BBQ for our friends as a sort of celebration for your upcoming arrival. And I have to say ... I'm a darn good cook!! hehe, just kidding! But I will say that this was the first party I've ever thrown in which I wasn't ( Read more... )

I've been taking a picture of my belly each week since week 12. It's very clear that in weeks 12-15 was still very bloated. Week 16 is the first week it looks like I have a belly.
