Bump It Up

Behold, the belly at 5 months. Since I'm suffering from a major inability to get anything updated on the blog lately, these pictures are about a month old and the bump is even more spelindiferous. It's amazing the constant comments I get from people asking if I'm having twins or  saying I must be relieved to be due any day. Or in three months...My favorite was from a male neighbor at the bus stop this week: "Now I don't know anything about having babies, but you look BIG." Why yes, sir, I feel big. :)

The view from Lucy's vantage point. Just stayin' hydrated while I listen to a little NPR. Nerd alert!

More recently - Last week in Sun Valley, ID with Andy's family celebrating Andy's parents' 40th wedding anniversary. Separate post to come on that trip.

Yes, you did notice a recycled outfit since I literally have about five tops and three pairs of pants that fit anymore. Shirts that I wore throughout my entire pregnancy with Ben now leave half my tummy hanging out. I was really lucky to borrow lots of clothes my previous two pregnancies so I have relatively few of my own that are summer wear, but don't really want to buy more. Thankfully the starts have aligned and I've scored a few great finds in Target clearance (Exhibit 1: the purple shirt pictured).

I'll take pictures whenever they come, a month old or older! The bebe is getting big, and so are the two standing near you in the photo. Great shot of the Haws family. So glad to see you recently! Miss you all!

I love the bumpdate. You look beautiful. Such a sweet baby belly. I can't wait. Also, I say get crazy and buy a few more maternity pieces you love. I think it helps you to feel less bumptastic if you have a few pieces that make you feel sexy or at least like you fit your clothes:)
