Bump Day, 20 weeks down.


Taken on Monday at our friend’s wedding, when we got all dolled up. Once The Bump and I finally found something that fit. As discussed it’s not the bump that’s the issue it’s the boobs, but this charity shop find was perfect and displayed my round belly in all its glory. I even managed to rock a pair of heels for the full 9 hours.


And here’s what’s in the belly at 20 weeks. We decided not to find out if it’s a boy or girl baking away in there, so if you’re a sonographer in your spare time and can tell what it is, please keep it surprise! The scan showed some rather long skinny legs and big feet (exactly like B) on a rather wiggly little sprite. And since Sunday I’ve been feeling these kicks and punches properly. Real “stop you in your tracks” stuff. Not strong enough to feel outside of the belly yet, much to B’s dismay, but give the bub a week or two and Papa should be feeling them too. Right now he’s content with plenty of tummy rubs and chats with whose inside. Heart-melting stuff. As if I didn’t love the boy enough.


ps. Check out the Happy Circus bows over at The Beetle Shack. Is this the most attractive fun family or what?!

  6. Loving that little frock, Nell - you know I'm a fan of a puffy sleeve (and a puffy belly).

    I'm so excited for you.

  8. Oh Nell you look truly beautiful. I think I'll put my money on a .... boy. (I'm allowed to guess because I'm not a sonographer. I'm also highly inaccurate when it comes to these things predictions.) Kellie xx PS Who on earth gets married on a Monday anyway?!

  10. Happy halfway! Am I allowed to hazard a guess? I'm going with boy as well. Only because bub looks like Ben. Do you think? Gorgeous thrifted dress. You look lovely Nell. As always. xx
    Ps Elke looked at your ultrasound pics and said 'Baby!'. She is a tad obsessed with them right now.

  11. I love that you all think it's a boy too! Ben and I think it is as well, so we'll all be surprised if it's a girl!

    Bianca - I think it looks like Ben as well, especially with the long skinny legs and big feet (I have short legs and teeny feet) and that nose!

    Kellie - I agree, a Monday wedding is so random. Apparently it was way cheaper, but it totally confused me as to what day it was!

  15. beautiful blog. i'm expecting our first little one as well and i had a bit of fun the other night trying on a dress i wore last winter for a wedding we are attending this saturday. the zipper could only make it halfway up because the dress was so tight and then it got stuck and my husband had to wrestle me out. it was a hoot! congrats on your little one, excited to follow along!
