I’m Lovin’ It – Week 30*

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!

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?

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.

I’m Lovin’ It: Yoda at Week 29*

Yoda is growing leaps and bounds. He's growing so much that my MFM is officially a little concerned at the possibility I might need to be induced before my due date. There'll be another blog post on that tomorrow. Let's check in to see how Yoda is doing now. According to babygaga.com: If you’ve been feeling weird little fluttering butterflies in your belly, it’s not just your run-of-the-mill pre-birth performance anxiety. Actually,

Today is HDBD. I took this picture late Monday night and I'm really glad I did since I've been sick lately. I'm really digging this top from Motherhood Maternity.
