Bump Day. 26 weeks (and one day) down.This week the belly has become know as The Jumping Bean, such is the power of Baby's movements. Real belly-shaking, watch-for-hours stuff. It's awesome to see, although the idea that it's a little person in there is still so surreal. What a wondrous thing our bodies can do, eh.
It's also been seven days of packing away clothes that no longer fit and choosing ones from the wardrobe that are still comfy and leave me feeling good about this changing body of mine. Sometimes when I catch a glimpse of myself in a shop window I'm surprised by my tummy's roundness. It's like looking at yourself in a fairground mirror. But I love it all. Every growth spurt.
And it's crazy to think of how our lives will have changed the next time I pull those clothes on. Crazy cool, that is.
ps. these are the most beautiful pictures. They almost made me cry. And i'm really not a crier. But thinking of B holding our child in his arms for the first time? Well that darn brings a lump to my throat.
you look lovely, sweet photos :)
ReplyDeletedang - you are still so incredibly HIP & COOL looking...i felt like such a frump when i was pregnant...and you just look radiant!!

ReplyDeleteand finding clothes that are comfy and make us feel good in our new found curves is always a tricky game. but all worth it! hope you've been feeling good girl :)
You look so beautiful and radiant! Darn, I miss being pregnant :)
ReplyDeleteThose pictures you linked to are amazing! I loved every minute I laboured at home (although at the time I probably wasn't, hehe), and am sad I didn't get to birth at home as planned.
Enjoy your Jumping Bean - how amazing are the movements! Our bodies are truly wondrous, yes.
You look amazing! That is quite the bump you've got there! They are beautiful pictures, I would love to do something similar. I really regret not keeping a better record of my pregnancy and birth. I loved being pregnant, i can't wait to do it again. Enjoy every second of it! :) x
ReplyDeleteanother week closer - how exciting!
ReplyDeletestill looking amazing Nell! I am loving watching your bloom into a mother. As the clothes yeah, I remember when I hit 30 weeks I could hardly wear a thing anymore and had to go out and buy the maternity clothes I had been avoiding to spend the money on (long live H&M mama and Topshop maternity!).

So Cool! Beautiful beautifl belly Nell! Im so happy for you! What amazing parents you will be! *s*
ReplyDeleteLovely bump gorgeous mama! Soooo relate to The Jumping Bean; this little Mr or Ms is giving the older brothers a run for their money in the energy stakes. Never have I felt or such a mover.

It is seriously incredible (and beautiful) to see what our bodies are capable of! You're looking totally gorgeous!
