Month of Bumps (21-24 weeks)

Hi Bun, 

Welcome to your first Month of Bump post!

To think you will be here in 14 short weeks blows my mind (I'm late writing this).  Each pregnancy moves along faster than the last, and needless to say, yours has been a flash before my eyes.  Every two week appointments start this week (usually not until next month, but since I need a shot of Rhogam at 28 weeks, we're starting early)

I'm feeling great but have been tired.  Usually my desire for naps subsides around 16 weeks, but at 25, going on 26 weeks, I find myself tired most days and in need of a nap or extra sleep at night.  

Old age, I guess  ;)

However, I still have opportunities to feel young when out and about without your siblings.  Other Moms will often give me that enjoy-this-time-before-that-bump-becomes-a-baby look or sweetly ask, "is this your first?"  Each time I try to contain my giddiness as I say, "nope, it's my third!"

I'm feeling older, but I must look somewhat young  :)

Speaking of looks, I have been much faster to show.  I was in maternity pants at 12 weeks (yes, 12!) and at 17 weeks a Target employee assured me that if I sign up for the Target Red card today, I will have free two day shipping, enabling me to get all those last minute baby items IN THESE LAST FEW WEEKS.

Seriously, people.

Then there was the old lady on the plane back from Kauai who, when I told her I was due September 8th, nudged me and winked "twins, huh?"

Ha!

I've been enjoying this pregnancy so much.  Knowing that this is most likely my last time around- Dad always gets mad when I insert the "most likely" part ;)  - I have really made an effort to enjoy everything about it.  In a way, you've been my sweetest pregnancy yet.

Here are your first month of pictures, Bun!

And just to prove the existence of that 12 week bump, here you are in all your first trimester glory  :)
