27 Weeks


I bought this shirt back in January and I remember being rather excited about how cute my pregnant belly looked in it. I thought, yup i definitely look like i have a baby in there (although others who weren't in the know were probably thinking, yup she definitely needs to lay off the snacking, shes getting a gut!). 

Putting on the shirt today I realize how tiny i still was when i actually bought it and that now i look huge in it (and hopefully those people who thought it was just a food baby realize its actually a human baby). In another month or so I will probably stop by the mirror again and have this whole conversation over.

That's the thing about being pregnant. You swear from the first day you find out that you "look" pregnant. Every week that passes by you see small changes in your body and feel like you're rocking a serious baby bump (when really most people probably don't even notice it at all). Then a few more weeks go by and you look at that old picture and laugh at how big you felt when you were actually so tiny. That's exactly how i felt here.

The whole thing is pretty awesome. I'm excited to finally meet you and have you in our lives but i think i will sort of miss this too...

*side note. next weeks starts the third trimester. as in, babies COME in the third trimester! crazy.

**another side note. for all who think "wow she has the dirtiest mirrors ever" i swear they are clean. this mirror is part of a really old antique vanity, i use it because its the longest mirror i have. its not dirty- just old!
