Baby Bump - 40 Weeks

I thought for sure Buster would be here already - especially considering my doctor told me last week it would be Sunday or Monday. Unfortunately both days came and went with no baby. I've tried everything - "the salad", Chinese foot massage, spicy food. Still......nothing. I wish I could say I was a patient mommy to be - but I can't!!

Baby is 19.75 inches - about the length of a leek and weighs around 6.8 lbs

The bad news is that I'm utterly exhausted. With less than 2 weeks to go (by my estimation I only have a week) - I am feeling ready. It's just difficult to get around these days and get things done with a 20lb basketball for a stomach! The good news is that my belly button hasn't popped yet!

This week the baby measures 18.75 inches - about the size of a crenshaw melon and weighs around 5.75 lbs

Here is a comparison of me at 36 weeks with Olive (on the left) and with Buster (on the right). It's a little depressing to see how pale I am these days.....

This week the baby is 18 inches - about the size of a honeydew melon and weighs around 5.25 pounds

I have to say this little guy is FAR more active than I remember Olive ever being. I'm not sure if it is because he is bigger, stronger, or just more energetic!

It was difficult to take a picture this week, considering we were packing up our entire house for the last two weeks! Andrew quickly snapped this picture at our new place on the day of our move. I promise a blog entry or two about the move itself.......

Baby Bump - 27 Weeks (from last week)

Baby is 14.5 inches - about the size of a cauliflower and weighs 2 lbs

I've been confused for the last couple of weeks on how far along I really am. The last few times we've been to the doctor they have said that the baby is measuring bigger so my dates are off and I'm really due end of April. Regardless of whether that is true - why can't they just go by months rather than weeks? How far along is 27 weeks anyway? Am I 7 months? Almost 7 months? Even though I've done this before - it's still confusing!

Baby Bump - 19 Weeks

It's hard to believe that in one week I will be halfway there! In all honestly - I sometimes forget I am pregnant. And then I feel little Buster move and I'm reminded that I have a little baby growing inside me.  This week he is about 6 inches - the size of a large heirloom tomato and weighs 8.5 oz.

Baby Bump - 14 Weeks

14 weeks, 3 days (pic taken on Sunday)

Believe it or not - I'm FINALLY starting to feel better. The morning sickness this time around definitely seemed worse than when I was pregnant with Olive. But thankfully it seems to be subsiding. Now I'm just hoping the yucky cold/cough that I got from Olive last week will go away soon too.

This week the baby is 3.4 inches - the size of a lemon and weighs about 1.5 oz.

Baby Bump - 13 Weeks

I've been trying to take pictures each week, but it hasn't been easy. One week my camera wasn't working and then the next the photos were out of focus and blurry. Taking self portraits has been difficult this time around! Thankfully Andrew was home this weekend and took a picture of my 13 week and 4 day baby bump. I'm still not feeling 100% but I'm hoping it will be any day now........

The baby is 2.9 inches this week - the size of a peach!
