It's interesting how I can't remember anything lately except for how many weeks pregnant I am and what is developing in our little baby. Pregnancy consumes every thought of me.

This last week I was 16 weeks pregnant and that meant it was time for our second doctor's visit. The visit itself was pretty uneventful to others but for me was a great reassurance that everything is coming along fine. We saw Dr Jones for about 15 minutes and he asked us a few questions and then asked if we had any questions--which we didn't. I guess we need to read more! He then listened for the heart beat, which was loud and strong and very fast. That is such a relief to hear. Up until this week I felt so great and noticed little changes in my body that I of course began to worry just a little. So far everything is going well though, and we have a healthy little baby on the way.

After our doctor's appointment on Monday, I noticed that my pants were extremely tight... I couldn't even zip them without laying down on the bed. I was pretty puzzled by this since I had just worn the very same jeans earlier that week to my doctor's visit and hadn't gained any weight since the previous visit. I walked downstairs and asked Jared if he noticed I gained weight over the past few days. He laughed at my extremely tight jeans and made a confession, "I accidentally washed all your jeans in hot water and dried them". I guess we now know what house hold chores are off limits to Jared, which I am sure he doesn't mind.

But every mistake always has a silver lining... right? No jeans to wear forced us to go to the mall to buy some new clothes... which I never object to. So now I have clothes that show I am pregnant instead of clothes that I stuff myself into that make me look fat:)
