A few changes have occurred in "baby-land" over the last 10 days or so, the first of which is my ever-growing belly, which you'll see in the pictures. I believe two events are to blame for my rapid expansion: (1) The long-awaited and much celebrated departure of my constant "all-day sickness" (morning sickness is an extremely erroneous term!!) and (2) The abundance of amazing holiday food I've consumed over the course of 3 holiday dinners! My constant nausea has thankfully been reduced to the occasional icky feeling that I get when I eat too fast, smell strong coffee, or brush my teeth with too much toothpaste. This lovely turn of events came just in time for the Frueh family feasts of braciole, chicken cordon bleu, festive cheeses, and the all-time favorite peppermint ice cream cups. Baby Frueh couldn't be more thankful. I was beginning to think I was going to starve the little guy/girl.
In other news, Baby Frueh has officially graduated from "embryo" to "fetus" and, with the arrival of knees and elbows, he/she is dancing about. Unfortunately, we won't be able to feel the dance moves for another month or two because the baby is only the size of a kumquat inside of a cavernous grapefruit-sized womb. We're eagerly anticipating those first discernable movements as we trek toward the end of the first trimester...only 3 weeks to go! Time flies!
