It's been five weeks since our last bump progression photo!
What a difference FIVE weeks can make.
I'm HALF way there! I can't believe time has flown by so fast.
Our little baby is the length of a carrot this week!!!
Conrad came along with me for my baby bump session with Kacie.
I think I might try to include him in the series from time to time!
I've been feeling great lately. I am SUCH a different pregnant woman with this baby. I've had strangers come up to touch my belly and I'm all over it. I love it actually, whereas before, with Conrad, I was annoyed and felt violated. It blesses me knowing that my growing belly and this precious baby bring a smile to others, even strangers. I welcome the questions, "How far along are you?" and "Is it a boy or a girl!" Lots of folks think I'm crazy for not finding out the sex, but I still feel really excited not to know.
I've been eating a really strict protein diet which has made me feel SO much more energetic and my weight has stayed right where it needs to be. Dustin cooked me 3 different kinds of chicken last night (ten chicken breasts total!) You would think that was a lot, but last week alone I ate 8 chicken breasts and ran out...I haven't gotten sick of chicken yet! He's been SO supportive of me trying to be as healthy as possible. I'm keeping a food journal also which has helped me feel empowered, knowing that I am resisting the junk and being kind to my body.
This baby is SO lazy compared to Conrad though. I don't get much action. Not a lot of kicks. Just here and there.
I'm hoping this might be a sign that our little carrot is mellow and not a spaz like me.
So sweet, Chels

ReplyDeleteGrowth spurt for sure! :) I love that you find joy in your pregnancy giving others smiles :) I've never minded either when people touched my pregnant belly...some people (family & close friends) were even surprised when I'd say "feel right here, the baby's moving!" but I couldn't help but share in my excitement! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I love that you included Conrad in the photo session :) I can tell he is one proud brother <3
Conrad is looking so adorable in these photos. I love his little face. Especially his lips!
