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
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.

Fact: I went through 13 hours of natural labor with Ethan, before I received an epidural. I know what childbirth feels like.
Today is HDBD. I'm tired, y'all. It's been really hot in LA and no matter how much I run all of the fans and AC and lounge around in my skivvies, I still can't get cool enough. Maybe if I can somehow fit myself in the freezer, that might work.

It gets easier.
It gets better.
But does it really?
Those are things I've said to myself. Those are things I've said to others. But I wonder...does grieving over your pregnancy, your child...does it ever get easier? Does it ever get better?
This December, it'll be two years since Ethan went to Heaven and it sometimes feels it just happened yesterday. I often wonder what his personality would've been like. Would he have
I officially hit 28 weeks! This is a huge, huge milestone. Every four weeks is one step closer to a happy, healthy Yoda bear. My doctors are very happy with the progress of the pregnancy and namely, how the cerclage has been holding up. The next big milestone is 32 weeks. Whew! Let's hope it's a quick four weeks!

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. I'm almost tempted to go out and buy a few more.
I've been meaning to add stats and here they are. Better late than never!
How far along? 27 weeks according to LMP.
Weight gain/loss? Still no weight gain and probably with my newest
