This FBM post is special because I get to debut two pictures from the weekend. A few of you may have already seen these since I finally "announced" on Facebook and Instagram. (More on that in a later post).
Here is a picture from my maternity photo shoot:
We were in my hometown of Palm Springs, CA. I specifically asked I wanted a photo where the mountains and palm trees were

I'm a day late and dollar short, but I had a super fun weekend. I'll post details on that later. For now, let's check in on Yoda Bear.
According to babygaga.com:
In the latest womb reports, your amazing baby has now developed sensitivity to temperature!
Which means you’re likely to get a swift kick if you put a hot pad or bag of ice on your ginormous belly.
For the Elton John lovers
It's a bit late this week to make up for the post last week. Here's a shot of me:
And another shot:
How far along? 31 weeks, according to LMP.
Weight gain/loss? None. No weight gain at all entire pregnancy.
Symptoms: None really. No more nausea but I’m really monitoring how much I eat.
Mood: Very tired. Just tired.
Sleep: On a very weird schedule. My average bed time is 2 AM but I'm trying to go to
Though I'm well into my eighth month of pregnancy, we're still going by LMP until I give birth, whenever that is. Let's check to see how Yoda is doing now!
According to babygaga.com:
This week, your amazing growing baby is around 3 pounds and 17 inches tall.
With each added layer of baby fat, your baby's wrinkly raisin skin starts to look more and more like it will when they're born.

I have spent a small fortune on this child so far. I'm not really into designer labels or fashions, though I occasionally splurge on a very nice handbag or jewelry. I think it's something I've inherited from my grandmother and mother. They've always had nice jewelry and things, neither believing in putting it on credit. They both figured if they really wanted something, they would save up to afford

The thing about being pregnant after a loss is dealing with anxiety. You're always wondering 'what if...?' and you're never quite comfortable being pregnant, no matter how far along you are. Unless you've had a late loss, unless you've had multiple miscarriages, unless you know the pain of pregnancy loss, you can't relate. You can't sympathize, you can't empathize, you simply can't. Being an angel mom is something no
http://youtu.be/6jujG5X9iZsI had an appointment with my OB this past Friday. Yoda is looking great and measuring great. Still, no weight gain and my doctor doubts I'll gain any for the remainder of the pregnancy. I can still look down and see my feet for the time being. I had my glucose test on Friday as well and yeah...it was nice to drink the flat Fanta-like beverage for a few
According to LMP, I'm 30 weeks. Of course, that's not the case. Nevertheless, let's check in on Mr. Yoda.
According to babygaga.com:
Woohoo! You can finally see the finish line now that you're in the final quarter of the race!!!
Whether you felt like your pregnancy's been flying by or slower than a snail scaling Everest, you've arrived in your thirtieth week and your baby's cookin' beautifully!

I read a recent article on slate.com, regarding how one woman plans to never post anything about her child online ever. EVER. If you've followed his blog recently, you know about my struggle to even post Yoda's picture for fear of public reaction, due to Ethan.
But never posting anything about Yoda...ever? Hmm...that seems to be a bit harsh. It also seems ridiculously unrealistic.
I should probably explain my stance before
It's Hump Day Bump Day! Let's gooooooooooooooo!
This week's HDBD post comes in the form of two photos:
You know, one of these days I will clean my bathroom mirror. This was taken Sunday.
This was taken Monday.
I'm showing the different pictures to show how different my shape is depending on what I wear.
How far along? 29 weeks according to LMP. Yoda, however, is measuring 32 weeks, which puts me in the eighth
