19 weeks

The books say the baby is the size of a large tomato now. I'm finally starting to show some, so I thought I'd take a picture. (One day I'll get Jeff to take one in better light). But anyway, you can see my weird shaped stomach now :) I guess since I'm on the tall side it has plenty of room vertically and doesn't need to stretch horizontally yet. I've also been told that since it's my first, I still have decent stomach muscles that aren't stretched out yet, which won't be the case with a second pregnancy - get fat faster.
I'm starting to get some pains when I move suddenly, which I read is normal. The major back aches haven't started yet - I'm dreading that. I go back to the dr next week and then the ultrasound is on the 3rd. I still have no feeling yet if it's a boy or girl. We need some more girls in the family, but there seems to be alot of Y seed on Jeff's side of the family, so who knows :)

Eh, my second I didn't show til 6/7 months same as the first. The stretching out and stretch marks are highly dependent on the individual not necessarily which pregnancy you're in.
