Bump Alert - 27 1/2 weeks.

So here I am, almost 28 weeks, ok 27 weeks and 4 days - it's over halfway.

But, whoa, 7 months? This time is flying by. I can remember the wait to announce I was pregnant, it felt like forever. The first weeks were so hard, keeping it a secret, being scared of what could happen. Now, here I am in my 3rd trimester, the final homestretch.

I want to treasure every moment of this pregnancy, and I have been (to my best ability) but I'm ready for this baby to make his entrance, and for my body to go back to being able to do day to day tasks, without huffing and puffing, or muscles pulling... but mainly, I just want to meet my little man.

I have another ultrasound in a month (SO FAR AWAY) and I can't wait to see his cute little face again.

So.. the bump alert. My belly is definitely growing everyday it seems now. Although, my husband tells me it's not as big as what I think it is. HAH.

Here is my 18 weeks vs 27 weeks photo. I took this photo Monday. Same shirt, and definitely NOT as loose. Obviously you can see the difference, but I guess looking at it now, it's not THAT extreme. Must be all in my head.

18 weeks

27 weeks

I've done pretty good in the gaining weight department so far. I won't lie I started with some extra pounds to begin with (something that WILL be coming off after this baby). 1st trimester I lost weight, I'm not exactly sure how much really, because as I was losing my weight baby K was gaining his weight. I think I lost about 15 pounds. I just NOW, reached my before baby weight, plus 2 pounds now. So, I guess you could say I've only gained 2 pounds this pregnancy thus far.

I'm not really worrying about it to be honest though. I just want to be healthy for the baby, so if I gain X amount, it's whatever. I'll deal with it after, but I think I've been doing pretty good so far. I know eating for "two" really isn't real, it's more eating a few extra calories a day. PLUS I knew going into this that gaining weight for me is something that comes EASY. Something I've always dealt with in my life, which I eventually found out why, you can read that past post here.

I do enjoy my bumpity bump. Now, that I actually look pregnant, something I was excited for. I enjoy seeing him twist and turn in there (there was straight alien stuff happening last night) and knowing that I am growing a little miracle inside of me. It's a great feeling.

This was a few photos I got the hubby to take for our 20 week gender announcement, I thought he did pretty good! He thought he was being so artistic. =)

My favorite time of the year is Fall. I'm always excited for it, but this year, well this year brings on a whole new excitement.
