My baby bump

January 21, 2012 by heatherss 17 Comments

Firstly, welcome all new subscribers from the self improvement gifts giveaway. (Go there to get loads of free self improvement freebies – it’s a good way to start the year.)


bump small
I realise that having preggie updates may not be the best news when you are battling infertility yourself, but please know I have been there (for 5 years) and you are just witnessing the next part of my journey. And take hope: you WILL get there one day. One way or another!

I just wanted to show you guys how my baby is growing (on the outside). (This photo was taken last week – 17 weeks) I really have a baby bump now and cannot fit into a lot of my previous clothes. Fortunately it is summer here and I have a lot of dresses that lend their shape to being comfortable.

I can’t complain too much about this pregnancy, though. I am just so freeking tired all the time.

    You look adorable <3 I don't have a bump like that yet 🙁 but nevermind…it will come 😉
    As long as you feel great and trust me, I know the feeling 'zombie', some days I don't even wanna leave the house to go for a walk, because I just feel exhausted. I need to nap after lunch and even then I sleep over 8hrs at night. We have summer here too, so dresses are the best fashion option 😉

    It takes a while but it’s awesome when people finally start to notice, and even lunge for your belly. You look great! Can’t wait for the next post of a picture. I know I’ve been bad at taking pictures, but I always forget. Blame the preggo brain!

    Hi from ICLW! You are looking great! I think the hope helps a lot during the hard times. and I agree, one way or another we will all get there. Have you tried upping your B vitamins (6&12) to help boost energy?

    Awe! You have a very cute belly! And a little boy? How fun!

    The pregnancy fatigue will eventually go away… I think mine ended when DD was 6-7 weeks old ;). I hope you’re able to get some good rest!

    Sweet pic! Nice when it becomes more tangibly real… Do give in to your need for rest and sleep.
