8.1.13

And so it begins...Week 16

I got home from work, looked down at my belly and thought "Hmmmm, I think that something is bigger down there!"  So granted, just-home-from-work-dead-tired-on-my-feet picture is not the most flattering but I decided that honest is better :) 








Some things I have recognized is that it can be hard not to look ahead and wish to be in 'such and such' stage of pregnancy.  So instead of wishing I was big enough to show and then wishing that this baby would get here sooner once I was I decided to just be happy where I am now!  Instead of rushing through I want to celebrate the happy milestones Baby, Austin, and I are making now both in pregnancy and just in life!  To live in the moment.  It feels pretty good :)

  1. Wahoo! Good for you, a good lesson in all aspects of life, wishing to be at different stages rather than living and enjoying the moment.

    (Did that make any sense? Sometimes I feel like anything I say or type these days makes no sense. Anyway, you know what I mean, I think.)

    My baby hates peanut butter too!!!

  2. Haha :) I've gotcha! And I understand the feeling about saying things that make sense...or don't...oh pregnancy :)

    Crazy how they let us know what they do and don't like at such a small stage, eh? Peanut butter...who would've thought?

    And how are you feeling? You are a trooper, girl! If you baby girl is anything like your son you will definitely have an adorable little girl!!

  3. Good idea! You are so cute even after a long day working. I love your baby already and you and Austin are such adorable parents! Yay for babies! Oh and I always felt the same way with wanting to be further along or showing more, why do we do these things? I am trying to enjoy the present as well.thanks for sharing!

  6. Rogue Woman, you were actually my inspiration! I don't remember how I came across your blog, but after reading through it I thought, "This woman is crazy awesome"! I hope your pregnancy is going well, too!
