it’s official. my stomach now rests on my lap when i’m seated. i also can’t bend over to put on my shoes, getting up off the couch hurts, and what a challenge it is rolling out of bed without falling over the side – i’ve completely lost my balance! uncomfortable times, but so worth it. her kicks, pokes, and hiccups are a gentle {not always so} reminder of why this is the greatest experience ever.
i’m at 27 weeks now. those are the only pictures I’ve taken {and not deleted} so far. now if only i would start documenting the belly more consistently. i took a few pictures in the early weeks of the pregnancy but deleted them because a.} i didn’t look pregnant and got really bored taking pictures of myself not looking pregnant, and b.} i’m too impatient to take pictures of myself with the timer and all the pictures tommy took i looked annoyed or just plain awkward. fact is, i can’t/won’t take a normal picture. i’m certain i’ll regret not taking more pictures, i’m actually starting to feel disappointed already. gotta get on that!
dang it, why doesn't your site work in my google reader? i could've sworn i put it in there but maybe i'm going crazy. i just emailed you and then i saw this! i love your belly!!!!!!! too presh. can i also say, equally important...i love your wall color. christin | 2:39pm on 11/11 could you be cuter! what a cute little baby belly! i am sooo excited for you! mandy | 9:03pm on 11/6 i just wanted to dbutter my response steven | 5:54pm on 11/6 oh patty, i'm starting to think i'll never be back in my skinny jeans! at least that seems so far away from now. kristin | 5:54pm on 11/6 hey 'me' - personally, i felt pregnant the moment i saw the second line on the pee stick :) i thought i felt fluttering pretty early on even though i was told it was highly unlikely. in fact, at 14 weeks tommy felt the baby move so i honestly think every body is different and some of us moms-to-be are fortunate enough to feel the baby early on. if you haven't already, sign up for babycenter.com and you can track your baby's growth each week. it's really special getting a visual of what your little one looks like. at least it was exciting for us, especially in the early months when everything is still so new! kristin | 5:53pm on 11/6 yay your site is back up! bookmarked! thanks for the email. kristin you are adorable! such a cute belly--get rest now you'll need it when that belly is back in your skinny jeans ;) patty | 5:50pm on 11/6 dobutterenting!! sorry steph! i keep forgetting about the word replacement - thanks to tommy for the genius of it. kristin | 5:47pm on 11/6 i meant to start with the pics, but at 11 weeks i have yet to start. i get the impression from most...well...my mother in law...that i'm not really pregnant until i am past my first trimester. even though i swear i felt the baby fluttering around last night. me | 9:48pm on 11/5 dobutterenting? ah, that totally gave me the giggles! it was d-o-c-u-m-e-n-t-i-n-g! stephanie | 8:33pm on 11/5 gosh steve got here first! yeah, i have only two pregnant pics of me. wish i would have done more dobutterenting as well. stephanie | 8:31pm on 11/5 steph and i were the same way. we should have taken all kinds of pictures, but never did. bubbles steven | 8:16pm on 11/5
