I've been MIA

So so sorry it's been WEEKS since I've updated! So....we've found out the best news ever!
It's a.....


We are so ecstatic about our baby girl, Penelope Mae! Hubby was hoping for a baby girl first and I was just hoping for a healthy baby and we got both! We cannot wait to meet her!

So since I'm WEEKS behind on the weekly photos, I'll post them now.







So that's our journey thus far in pictures. You can see the whole thing on the Pregnancy Journey page (link at the top).

I've been feeling really great actually. I'm still tired a lot, but I certainly have more energy than I did during the first trimester. I'm eating more and slowly gaining the weight I lost back. I lost 10 lbs in the first trimester and I've gained back 8 since then. I feel huge though! I know my belly's big! I can't zip my pants anymore and have switched to using the Bella Band, which is an amazing creation! I wouldn't even consider getting maternity pants now that I have the Bella Band! I can still wear my cute jeans and my pants stay up even though they aren't zipped. Loves it!

And now, onto fun maternity and baby things that I love:

This is a totally adorable dress that would probably make a better shirt since it's kinda short.

This is also a totally cute dress. I love the halter and the buttons.

These are too flippin' cute. I can just see my baby girl with a ladybug barrette in her hair!
