Watch Me Grow

Oh what a differnce 9 weeks makes.

18 week bump:



27 week bump:





I feel pretty freaking huge. In reality, I know I may not actually be the fat ass I think I am, but I never thought I would see numbers like this on the scale. I feel guilty for even caring - intellectually, I know that pregnancy = weight gain. I realized that when the plus sign came up on the test (all 5 of them), when my belly started rounding in the 1st trimester, when I started going back for seconds and thirds at every meal. Including dessert. But it's different when it actually happens. I thought I would feel womanly & glowly throughout my pregnancy, but most of the time I feel like a waddling cow.

Good news is I actually like this picture. Chip took it right before we headed out for a much deserved date night. We had a great time - I'm lucky to have him as a father & soon to be husband.

Gotta run for now. Ari has started kicking, which must mean it's time for ice cream.
