14 weeks - I start the second trimester and finally tell work I'm pregnant!
16 weeks - filling out my regular clothes
18 weeks - finally really looking pregnant and not just pudgy
20 weeks - Maternity pants with regular tops
22 weeks - I found maternity skinny jeans...and feel like a rock star!
24 weeks - getting to enjoy the cool pool as summer heats up
26 weeks - my sister and mom honor me on my first Mother's Day
(Kipp is waiting until next year)
28 weeks - the "bump" is now a full on belly as I enter the third trimester!!!
30 weeks - Mim gets me some better maternity clothes for my birthday
32 weeks - My first baby shower
34 weeks - the co-ed baby shower...I loved sharing this with Steve!
So that pretty much brings us up to date (or at least up to last weekend). I have enjoyed watching my belly grow over the last 8 months knowing that it signifies our little baby is growing as well. And over the last few weeks as I enter the home stretch I have had wonderful complements of "you look amazing" and "you've only gained weight in your belly...how lucky!"...but I have also been told things like, "for having two months to go, you're the biggest pregnant lady I've ever seen"...so I have resolved myself to just try to remember that although the rest of the world looks at me and sees a belly...what's most important is what's on the inside - our little boy!
