Belly

Let the gaining begin! I feel wonderful these days (except for a massive headcold) and have even started drinking coffee again. I'm loving hazelnut coconut. Not sure if that's a weird preggo thing but man it tastes delish right now!

You can be expecting one of these each month. I love baby bellies and I love documenting mine! It will be neat to see how it compares to last time around. Already, I think I'm a little ahead of where I was with Ella at 4 months...but I think I had a head start too :)

16 Weeks! The first go 'round I started belly pics at 12 weeks. Because I was so thing to start with that you could actually see a little bump. I could have posted a 12 week pic this go 'round and it would have looked much the same as the first one...but that's not because of baby...that's because I started out that way. So it would have been deceptive to say it was baby bump ;)

Got to hear that fabulous heartbeat again yesterday and it's just perfect. I continue to LOVE the new practice I switched to and you better believe I'm excited that my next appointment includes the 20 week ultrasound!!! I'm dying having not seen this babe yet! I'm not a good waiter. So YES, you better believe we're finding out what gender this little love is!

Sisterhood of the Traveling Maternity Clothes!

I just finished organizing all of my maternity clothes....but alas they are not headed for storage. They are headed for other preggo mommies to wear. I LOVE THIS! I was blessed with so many great maternity clothes that friends let me borrow. It was amazing! I didn't expect it at all, thinking people who were having more babies would not want to lend out their clothes that they are going to wear again. But that was not the case. I felt so loved by their generosity. And now I can't wait to "pass it on" so to speak!

In the midst of new baby on the way, the last thing you want to do is spend money on maternity clothes that you'll only wear for a short time! So I can't wait to lend mine out! On their way Ame!

(I ALSO just finished sorting and storing all of Ella's 0-3 month clothing as well as all of her clothing that is 12 months or bigger as it will be a long time before she fits into those. And now her drawers and closet are neatly organized with all 3-6 and 6-9 month clothing. Ahhh how I love it.)
