here we grow again: final installment!

The final installment of my 'here we grow again' belly pics! How is it that this little person was living inside of me just over four weeks ago?!

here we grow again

During my first pregnancy, I documented my burgeoning belly in photos each month and I decided to do the same this time around. I am four months along now. These are my belly bump photos so far. Here we go grow again!

here we grow again: 5 months

Here is my latest pregnancy photo. Looks like this baby might be on the bigger side again, since my tum is larger than I was at 5 months during my first pregnancy. What can I say, I grow them big and healthy! My first baby was 9 lbs. 11 oz.

I'm late with this photo again - I'm actually 31 weeks along! And still so much to do to prepare for the new baby's arrival. We are getting there though! The nursery has been painted so we now just need to put it all together and buy a few more supplies. I'm nervous but very excited that a new little person will be arriving shortly. I just can't wait to meet her.

here we grow again: 9 months

Yep! We are here folks...in my final week of pregnancy. And while I'm ready to no longer have a 40 pound bowling ball attached to my body, I am also cherishing this last week. I love feeling a baby move and kick and wiggle inside my tum. It truly is quite a miracle. I am definitely eager to meet this little lady though. Will she be like Sage? Or totally different? I can already tell she is more mellow, as she doesn't move as much as her sister did. Sage was like a wild animal in there. I'm thinking mellow is a good thing!

Wish me luck!

here we grow again: 8 months

In the home stretch guys! I have a caesarian booked in 4 weeks. Can't believe this time has come so quickly, and yet on the other hand it does seem to have been a long haul, especially chasing after a toddler. Despite all of the little get-prepared projects I have in my head, I guess I'm ready! Ready to meet this little one, hold her, and discover who she is. I'm very nervous. But very excited.

One more month to go! Here is my belly photo collection so far...

here we grow again: 6 months

Here I am, just a touch over the 6 month mark. If you compare this photo to my 5 month pic, the growth has been unbelievable! Now I know why I've been exhausted and dragging my, ahem, butt the past few weeks. I thought it was just because I've been running after a very busy toddler. That, and I've expanded immensely. With still 3 months to go, looks like I may end up as giant as last time 'round {seriously, people asked me all the time if I was having twins}!
