27 WEEKS

I am noticeably growing now each week, and even the stretchiest of my skirts is getting tight. So I've been having a lot of fun making trips to the thrift store to browse through the racks and come up with outfits that I can make work around my changing body. The skirt above was thrifted for $3, and it is a long skirt that is typically worn at the waist that I've pulled up to the top of my new waistline...right under my boobs.

Her thing now is being squirmy and wiggly when I lay down to go to sleep. I may not have felt a peep from her all day, but as soon as I'm in bed, she's thumping about. It's even harder than you would think, trying to fall asleep with baby jabs happening in your stomach. 

But sometimes, as I'm going about my day, she jabs/kicks/wiggles extra hard, so hard that it catches me completely by surprise and makes me laugh because it is still such a strange, awe-some, funny feeling to me. Regardless of sleep or sores, I'm glad that she's letting me know she's in there by all that dancing. It reminds me that I'm growing a life, and makes me feel that much closer to her.
