Baby Bump - Through the Months

When I look down at my stomach, it really doesn't look that big to me. It just seems like I'm carrying around a basketball in my shirt. It is when I take a look from the side in the mirror, or in photos, that it really hits me that I definitely look 9 months pregnant.

I had a woman stop me in the hall at work today and say "Whoa! You look huge! Please tell me that you are close to the end." Why yes, yes I am close to giving birth. And yes, thank you for your random comment. It is a good thing that I don't have self image issues.

I have been having Greg take photos of the growing belly bump throughout my pregnancy. I love seeing the process of how things go from point A to point B, so here are my baby bump photos from "itty bitty" to "whoa, huge!"

On vacation in Costa Rica. I think I was about 8 weeks here.

4 months (16 weeks)

Almost 5 months (19 weeks). Definitely starting to show.

5 1/2 months (22 weeks)

25 1/2 weeks with Miss Ella in the background.

7 months (29 weeks)

7 1/2 months (30 weeks)

8 months (33 weeks)

9 months!! (36 weeks)

It is hard to believe that we only have less than 4 weeks until Baby Ernie makes her debut! We are very excited. I'm sure I'll take a few more belly shots before then too.
