LifeFromScratch: December 2013

Pregnancy

As pretty much everyone knows, our little family will be adding a little human addition in April. I am SO excited, and not nearly as nervous as I was with Grace. Not because I think it will be easy by any means, or because I can't wait to get no sleep, but I think it's probably more because of the fact that after having Gracie I also know how wonderful it will be, and that no matter what it will be worth it. With Grace I wasn't sure if I was ready for something that life altering and big (ok ok, so I don't do change well), but this time around I think I have just come to realize that when life isn't all about me aka it's about husband and daughter now, it's better anyways, and oh so worth it. I hope that makes sense.

Anyways, so with Grace I was so anti-prego pictures that I think there are a total of 3 from the entire pregnancy and I only willingly took one of those. This time I wanted to document it a little more, and wanted to take one a week and then put them all together to watch the baby grow....BUT I still have that innate (inherited from my Mother) dread of photos so my once a week has turned into 3 sets of photos. BUT, we're only half way through the pregnancy so that means twice as many as last time, right?!

I'm not putting these on Facebook because I know that not everyone is into seeing pregnant woman pop up on their screens. This way I figure you clicked on my link so it's your own fault. ;) And without further ado...the before picture...

Yes I know, they aren't very glamorous selfies, but as afor mentioned, pictures of myself in front of mirrors isn't exactly my forte.

I'm about 8 or 9 weeks in these first ones, but I realize you can't really tell. It just gives you kind of a beginning growing reference. Also please note the baby getting into my "make'dup" in the background. lol

At 17 weeks...
