baby turns 25!

No maternity clothes yet - can you believe it?  That BellaBand is magic I tell you!!

Here I am at 25 weeks - the lil one is officially 25 weeks old. I've been preggo for over SIX MONTHS.  I can't believe how fast it has flown by.  Of course, being insanely busy at the hospital has caused a lot of that time to whiz by...however...I think I am spending plenty of time cherishing the feeling of being pregnant.  I quite enjoy it!

 This whole pregnancy thing is so amazing.  My belly grows bigger EVERY FREAKING DAY.  Sometimes, I swear I can feel it stretching and growing...as it's just whispers a lil soreness on my skin...but it isn't unpleasant or anything.  It's sooo round now...people continue to tell me how huge I'm getting :-)  It just makes me smile.  The OB/Gyn residents at the hospital swear I look amazing for 25 weeks...little things like that make feel so good!  Also, as  huge as I feel my belly is - I haven't really gained much weight at all, and still don't wear maternity clothes to work (if you can believe that!).  At my appointment last week I had barely gained 10 lbs - seriously - I felt like I had gained 20...but nope.  My doc told me I am doing really well with that. 


On other news...isn't our Christmas tree so adorable?  We had decided to forgo purchasing a real (or even a fake!) Christmas tree this year - and instead decided to save our pennies for baby gear (as that stuff is pricey!).   However, Tommy surprised me on my birthday with a sweet little 4 footer that he picked up at HomeDepot for a bargain $15!!

Best.  Surprise.  Ever.

I have a little collection of ornaments, antique blown glass, vintage bulbs, some sweet treasures from places I've been - I LOVE ORNAMENTS!  And I had just enough to cover our teeny tree.  Perfecto!

I don't think I look pregnant from the front, I look like I usually do...until I turn sideways :-)

  1. I can't believe you're 6 months along either, not only are you TINY but it seems like you just told us you were expecting! Also, this is super-stalkerish of me but since I used to live in Ithaca, I totally recognize the parking lot in the window of the first picture, haha!

  6. You do look amazing - healthy and radiant.

    These are a few of my favorite shots of you so far.

    P.S. Three cheers for the BellaBand! I had four (given to me by friends) - in black, brown, pink, and white.
