Weeks 12-20: the bump.

I hate really dislike having pictures taken of myself.... but I've thought it was really fun to look at week by week pictures that I've seen of pregnant friends... These pictures are a little silly with my phone in them, but I feel so self conscious of having a picture taken of myself with only me in it that I haven't allowed Justin (or anyone else) to take these pictures for me... I really don't like quite a few of these pictures and debated whether or not to post all of them, but it would be kind pointless not to share all of them so... here they are!

20 weeks TODAY- and halfway there! (I actually took this picture 2 days ago... and some of my other pictures are a day of 2 off too, but close enough!)

In some of the pictures from week to week I think I look bigger and then the next week smaller... and some of the shirts I have on don't show my growing belly very well in a picture. But, even though my belly isn't too big yet my body has sure had some big changes happen over the last 8 weeks and I no longer fit into ANY of my jeans and most days I feel best if I can just wear sweats- so much more comfortable! My normal shirts are getting tight and it probably won't be long till I am in bigger/maternity shirts.

My pregnancy so far... starting from almost the very beginning of this pregnancy, 7-8 weeks, I began feeling really sick! I threw up 2-3 times a week and food, smells, eating, and not eating all seemed to make me feel so sick. I was pretty much nauseous 24/7! I had little to no energy and just spent most days telling myself it was okay that I was sick cause it meant I was pregnant and I am soooo very happy to be pregnant!!! Around 16-17 weeks my "morning" all day sickness finally started to fade and now I am feeling much better and have a lot more energy back which is just so lovely! I started feeling those first few flutters of movement from the baby around 14 weeks, and over the past week or so I have started to feel our baby girl move almost daily. My favorite part of being pregnant by far! Can't wait for a few more weeks to go by so that Justin and Keaton will also be able to feel our baby girl kicking around. :)
