The Chunky Monkey

I think I'm showing! No one else besides Gene and I seems to have noticed, but I'm pretty sure that there is now baby pudge where there was no baby pudge before. This has got to be the first time in my life that I have ever been happy to see new pudge! We had a party this weekend and while putting on my little 1920's style party dress I was at first startled that I seem to be pudging out, and then startled that I seem to be having trouble fitting my chest into the dress. That has definitely never been a problem before. It's a truly unique experience to wake up in a body that is fundamentally different than the one you went to sleep in, especially when is seems to keep happening over and over again. They tell me things really start to ramp up in the next trimester. That should be interesting!
