Meet Little Aveer. Kind of.

If you are reading this, you likely already know our exciting news.

We're having a kumquat!

Thanks to babycenter.com, we know what kind of fruit is growing inside my uterus every week!  Spoiler alert:  Week 13 we graduate to crustaceans.

The baby is growing in the right spot!

Here are the facts:

• We are due October 1, 2012 (-ish)
• It's not twins.  Whew!
• The plan is to remain in the dark regarding the sex of the baby.

Also, thanks Aunt Kendall for naming the not-yet-a-baby.  It's nice to call our little gestational fruit by name instead of "it" or "the baby."

Here are the bumpdate pictures thus far:

After several pregnancy tests (and Ben taking one to make sure that they weren't broken), we went to the King of Prussia Mall to buy my first maternity dress, so we could document my growing waistline.

Ben and Murphy didn't want to be left out of the excitement 

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I'm a little in denial about having a bump.  It just seems weird.  

Why would something "the size of a medium shrimp" (apparently, we are expanding beyond the produce section) move all my organs around and make it difficult to button my jeans?

But I suppose I am starting to have a little bump.

Second Trimester, here we come!
