Bump Shots: Week 23 and 24

Look at this, I'm not so incredibly late with these bump shots!  I can't believe that I'm already six months pregnant - wowzers!  Just three-ish more months to go.  Are we ready?  Is anyone ever ready for their baby to come?

We have started to get a bit of things together.  We have a car seat, a bouncer, a crib, a mattress, some baby gates, backpack-style baby carrier, some newborn disposable diapers, a few bibs, and two onsies.  Oh, and a Honduran soccer shirt!  Most of the stuff is used and was given to us from friends.  We did buy the bouncer for $15 at a consignment store.  I think that's the only thing we've bought.  Well, we did pay $50 for the car seat, but it was from a neighbor. 

A few baby things!
We also bought three cloth diapers.  Just 20+ more to go!

Week 23:

Lookin' large!
Look at that basketball!

Yup, I just keep growing.  I can definitely tell that I have a boy in there - it looks like I swallowed a basketball!  Although my arms are looking a little chubby, I don't think I can blame that on pregnancy - I just need to do some arm exercises!

Week 24:

A bump shot in Jackson Square, New Orleans

Hangin' out in the French Quarter with a big belly!
 Last week I went to New Orleans for a work meeting and I managed to get a bump shot in Jackson Square - after eating more than my share of Beignets.  Yum, yum!!!  I feel like I look huge in the top photo, but oh well.  I am feeling super great these days, minus a bit of tiredness, so I can't really complain.  Plus, I've had a lot of food events in the past few weeks so it's possible I've eaten more than necessary.  How can you pass up birthday cake, cheese cake, graduation food, Creole food, etc.?  I can't - I just have to indulge!  And when your pants stretch it's hard to know when to stop...

And I finally gave you a belly shot where my hair is down and I look semi-normal.  I actually had make-up that day too!  It's amazing how I can clean up.

I will try to write a more detailed post about something pregnancy related at a later date - however, I'm too tired today so it will have to wait.  So this is all you get.

    You look amazing, and I can't wait to hear more:)
