baby update

I’m rounding the final bend in this pregnancy and I can’t believe how quickly the time has passed… when I think about it, it’s the same feeling as “how are my kids already 2 and 4?!”. I’m down to the last 10 or so weeks until we are a family of 5. The girls can’t wait to meet their baby brother or sister, who is due to arrive right around Harper’s 3rd birthday.

I’ve never really been one to take “baby bump” or “belly” photos, but I realized there are very few pictures during pregnancy- partly because I’m usually the one holding the camera, partly because I’m self-conscious about having my picture taken. To appease some of my dear friends who’ve asked, I took a few pictures using my iPhone and decided to share them on here as well.

If the text is difficult to read, the first photo is me at 20 weeks, the second is at 29 weeks (taken just a couple of days ago). For comparison’s sake, I wore the same shirt and jeans (which are pre-pregnancy jeans that still fit at nearly 30 weeks!).

Baby is doing well- strong heartbeat, head down and in correct position, measuring right on track, extremely active as soon as I sit down to rest (of course!). It’s just a few months until we meet our sweet baby #3!
