That's right folks, I'm married now. Rob and I married yesterday afternoon in a nearby county clerk's office with his mom, Kathi (my new sister-in-law) and Brett (her hubby) as witness. I'm surprised that when it came right down to the ceremony I wasn't nervous, not like I thought I would be considering this being the only marriage under my belt. I didn't cry - which also surprised me simply because being pregnant alone I cry at everything. I mean - this is the girl who bawled her heart out while watching Wall-E by herself one night.
Anyway, I think it was good that I didn't cry, I don't consider myself a pretty cryer and Brett unforetunately got the ceremony recorded on his camera. So maybe I look half-way decent and not so fat as I feel like I look. I'm sure Brett's e-mailed the pictures to Rob (or will) and once I get to see them I may post a few of them on here so people can see.
Also, I have pictures of my growing pooch and I will try to post at least one of those, though don't anticipate too many of them simply because I'm not confident in my prego body image to show off my expanding waistline too much.
As for Little One herself (well, I say "her" but we still don't know), she's certainly growing. My clothes seem to be getting a little tighter each week and my pregnancy book says I should gain about a pound a week. I am now fourteen weeks and three days along and Little One is going to go through the following major changes this week:
- First, now that the physical body-building is pretty much done with, Little One is beginning a period of rapid brain growth.
- The baby develops fingerprints. And I didn't know this, but fingerprints are created by the baby swimming and bumbling around in the womb and waving their little hands. That's why everyone has a unique print. Neat huh??
- Little One is practicing voluntary muscle movements.
- Little One is also developing Meconium in her intestines, this is the first icky baby poop the baby has after it's birth.
- The baby has also tripled in size since three weeks ago. She/he now weighs approxiamtely 1-1.25 ounces and measures about 4 inches long.

Hey there. Congratulations Mrs Byerline! :)
I wanted to recommend a book for you. It's called The Miracle of Me. It's about Little One's journey in the womb from the unborn baby's perspective. I got it to read to #1 when we found out #2 was coming. Although it's a children's book, I loved it too! Great in-utero photography and use of rulers and scales too so you can really appreciate what's going on in there. :)

So so so happy for you. You know you're the same age as Emily, so this is about as close as I'll get to experiencing a little sister being pregnant. Thank you for including me. Congrats!
