Hello Friends & Family--
What you've all been waiting for (or maybe it's just been me), an ACTUAL baby bump picture! I'm finally starting to pop out! It only took 21 weeks. So now my pants are fitting a little snugger and I've been able to use my belly bands this week (awesome bands that go over your jeans so they don't have to be buttoned to wear them--may even use these when I'm not preggo).
I can also tell you that my memory is terrible right now. I used to pride myself on my keen ability to remember nearly every detail, and sadly I can't remember what I wore on Monday. The plus side to that is my slight anxiety about having everything laid out has diminished because I can't even remember what I was anxious about, haha. Don't worry I still remembered to get our Christmas cards and shopping together though!
We've moved the picture backdrop to the Christmas tree, for now I can't resist! This year we 'cheated' and picked out a tree from a lot instead of cutting it down ourselves. Yet, I feel like this by far is the most perfect tree we've ever had. Oddly enough I think they were the same price too! Oh and we added red bulbs this year :)
