I
am currently 25 weeks pregnant - just a touch over five months. The baby
bump is coming along quite nicely, if I do say so myself:

The
most recent ultrasound picture is toward the bottom of this post, but I wanted
to include all of the pictures that we've had so far. So let's go back in
time, shall we?

September (about 2 months along)
This
was taken in Berkeley, CA at Christine & Gabe's wedding. Here I am
with Christine and Francesca, my college roommates:
This
is the very first ultrasound we had done earlier in September. The second
shot is my favorite - Baby's profile!
I was about 9 weeks along, so this was
right before the wedding. James
wasn’t able to make it to this appointment – he couldn’t get off work in time,
but my Mom was there, which was really nice.
October (about 3 months along)
This
is James & I on Halloween. I
was Sailor Mars, and James was Hunter S. Thompson. It’s really only partially baby bump in this picture, most
of that is due to the petticoat I wore for the costume. It was a little too long, so I hiked it
up, and I’m all lumpy under the white tee.
James
got to attend the second ultrasound with me, hear the baby’s heartbeat and see
it in person. Baby was facing
toward the back, so the first picture is of the back of the head and shoulders,
while the second photo is of the baby’s spine and side at sort of a ¾ angle.
November (about 4.5 months)
I
didn’t get an ultrasound this month, but my theory is that Thanksgiving was the
culprit of my baby bump growth because ever since Turkey Day, I’ve been popping
out more and more. See for yourself…

December (about 5 months)
The
most recent ultrasound was just taken this month. Here’s a shot of my very prominent baby bump, taken a few
days ago:
You
can really see the difference since October and November.
And
Baby’s grown a lot too!
I
absolutely love this picture. Even
though it’s from the back again, you can clearly see the left shoulder, upper
arm and hand by Baby’s face. You
can even make out the ribs. So
precious. Only one of the shots
came out clear, so I didn’t upload the other one that the sonographer gave us.

As
of right now, not much else is going on for us. We don’t have too much planned for New Year’s, but we are
going to drive up to Solvang for a few days, just to get out of town. More updates soon!
