Progressive Preggo

Since I'm 17 weeks along TODAY, I thought, for SOME enjoyment, I would post the last 4 months of preggo pics...for anyone interested, that is.

MONTH ONE
February


Just beginning the throes of morning sickness, but still managing to look somewhat excited (not to mention the fact that I was still in shock).

MONTH TWO
March


Now in the MIDST of morning sickness and pretending to look happy that I'm kind of starting to show (at least in my mind I was).

MONTH THREE
April


Finally on the outs with the dreaded MS and onto enjoying the rest of the pregnancy, while feeling FAT, BALLOONING...take your pick (all you moms out there know what I mean...when you're showing, but not belly-riffic yet).

MONTH FOUR
May


Really starting to show, but still feeling fat (and now wearing real maternity pants...blah). At least I'm looking cute in this one!

I'm feeling good these days (other than my self-esteem issues) and have been feeling those first baby flutters the last few days. Makes me excited and sad at the same time; excited because I'm starting to feel the life inside me; sad because it's the last time I'll experience that same feeling.

Oh well...

On to my self-esteem issues.
A good friend of mine (am I allowed to call you that, Keiko) is doing this:

"What if, instead of dressing to mitigate your so-so, you dressed to highlight the parts of your body that you love most? What if, for a whole week, you committed to self-consciously dressing your best bits?"

So for one week, she will be Dressing Her Best, highlighting all of her favorites. I was so inspired by her last two posts (and how awesome she looked) that I've decided to follow suit.

I'm done with being frumpy.

Although I may not have a job to go to, I still want to look good.

If not for Bryce, than for myself.

And I too will chronicle the week-long journey on my blog, starting tomorrow.
(Pssst...check out her blog here.)

What.are.you.talking.about? You are seriously adorable! I don't look pregnant until I get to month seven...you are the cutest thing ever at three months. I am jealous!

Totally know what you're saying about feeling frumpy. I've been making an honest effort to do my hair everyday; just makes me feel better about myself. But you're looking really great and are nice and brave to take preggo picts.
