The honeymoon phase of pregnancy continues.. :)
Although, I have to admit..
everything is wider and bigger on my body. Pimples are a plenty. My ankles are slowly morphing into the same size as my calves and my thighs touch more than ever before. I've never loved my body as I should, but the challenge is becoming greater these days..
However, thanks to God, the joy of this pregnancy outweighs everything else. Despite being troubled by my new 'mom body', I am still so grateful to God to be on this journey.
Whatever needs to happen to my body to grow a beautiful baby girl, so be it. I may not fit into my fave skinny jeans next spring, but the important thing is that I'll be holding my sweet Eleanor..and thats all I could ask for.
***Disclaimer: I wish I could say that I've come to that conclusion all by myself, but I haven't. Between my husband's constant reassurance and God's grace…this is battle that I'm learning to overcome. But we can save those details for when we chat over a cup of coffee ;)
Week 22: We didn't do anything crazy fun for Halloween. Made some dinner, passed out candy, and talked about how fun it'll be to dress up baby girl next year. Daddy already bought her costume :)
Week 23: This is an inside joke with my family which was Nick's idea. I went with it so I can look back and remember to share with Eleanor all of the crazy memories we have with our families. She is so lucky to be blessed with such fun relatives!
Week 24: The kicks continued to get even stronger! Nick FINALLY felt her from the outside which was so, so special. During week 24 we also spent some time with Nick's 'cousin' Samantha and her husband who are expecting a baby boy in March as well! We are so happy to walk with them on this journey and to have our babies grow up together just like Nick did with Samantha and her brother.
Week 25: Still feelin' great, sleeping a bit better, and loving life! Spent majority of week 25 alone as Nick was on a business trip, but I was able to spend some quality time with my sister and nephew which was so special to me. This picture was taken the day Nick came home and took me on a date in MKE to Maxie's restaurant and Purple door ice cream.. such a great night together!
