I'm starting to show a bit now. Not in the "wow-she-looks-pregnant" sort of way, but in the "you-look-like-you-ate-too-much-pie-last-night" kind of way. I actually went shopping for maternity clothes day before yesterday, and the lady at A Pea in the Pod sing-sang, "Oh, you're so early," after asking how far along I was. I know she wasn't trying to be rude, but it felt like a judgment. My first impulse was to lie, but then I'd have to quickly re-calculate my due date when checking out.
I've continued to feel better this past week, and my lower energy level feels more like a product of summer laziness rather than pregnancy fatigue. My nausea has more or less completely left the building, and although I continue to be a picky eater, I'm not exactly having food aversions. I am, however, experiencing some lower abdominal cramping, but nothing that qualifies as painful. Alex is working long hours, and I've been keeping myself busy ...

Glad you're feeling better-- and you look great!! It's never to early to make the switch to elastic waist jeans, in my opinion. : )
