21 Weeks

We have passed the halfway point! Here is the latest belly photo. You will notice, I am wearing the exact outfit I was wearing in the 19 week shot. I would like to say it was for comparative purposes, but I have about 2 favorite outfits that I am constantly in at this point. I was lucky enough to get a ton of hand-me-down clothes, but it is amazing how only a few things seem to fit right. Added to that, I am pregnant in winter instead of summer this time around. Now, everyone will tell you that winter is much better: you don't have to contend with the heat. But, for clothes, summer is most certainly better for cute maternity clothes. Right now I want to wear a bunch of layers, but I only have a few warm things and in the end I just feel like a yeti. I guess you can't win. The belly is becoming more noticeable, but I am still straddling that look of pregnant versus too many christmas cookies (of which I really have had too many! Another downside to pregnancy during the winter...I can't enjoy any spirits so I turn to the darn cookies). Other than that, I am just cruising right along. Peapod is becoming more and more active, trying out acrobatic moves which feel very funny.

Finn is trying to figure out why we do these belly pictures all the time now. He is more than happy to show off his too:

Yep, you are one of "those women"; the ones that look too darn cute pregnant!! I agree with the winter versus summer statements. Winter maternity clothes seem pricier too, which means I have fewer warm things. Most of my stuff from the girls did not survive so I started with next to nothing this time around. I did have to splurge on a coat that I could button. Recess duty got a little too cold for me without it! I love going through this with you! Love you all and Merry Christmas!
