34 weeks and counting…
here we are at 34 weeks. i thought i felt large at 26 weeks, HA. i’ve hit that infamous point of “i don’t want to be pregnant anymore”. while i’m continuously grateful for this miracle, i’m ready for the miracle to relocate from my stomach. breathing, sleeping, eating, and a seemingly never ending list of … Read more

26 weeks large
26 weeks, that’s 6 1/2 months what!? i’ve been negligent of belly pictures lately. probably because at this point in my life attractive is not a word i use when describing how i feel. i usually just stick to large. i’m also lazy. but i’m trying to be better/more positive and i do want to … Read more
