I’m Lovin’ It – Yoda at Week 27*

Today, I officially hit the third trimester according to LMP. Yoda is still measuring ahead in both body and head, though my doctors are confident I will go full-term. Nothing like the thought of giving birth to a big-ass baby to comfort me. :P Let's check to see how Mr. Yoda is doing now. According to babygaga.com: Your not-so-tiny-anymore baby (2 pounds and 14.5 inches long!) is slowly rotating in preparation

Before I Let Go

http://youtu.be/n57YaOvuSu0 I finally chose my baby shower invite. I had it customized so I'm hoping my hosts have made their final decision because I ain't changin' this. [caption id="attachment_287" align="aligncenter" width="300"] This is a sample invite, btw.[/caption] I decided to combine two of my favorite things: purple and leopard print. Those who know me will tell you this invite fits my personality. I'm a little nervous about sending out the baby shower invites.

This is a picture from last Thursday. I've been doing a lot of sleeping lately so when I feel to take a Week 25 pic, I'll submit here. Probably on Friday.   This kid is all belly. I've only gained one pound within the past two weeks. Yeah, one pound. Blame that on the fact my family history is jacked up (high blood pressure, heart disease, heart attack, stroke, cancer, just

It's Hump Day Bump Day! Wanna see what I look like now? Let's gooooooooooooo!   I started tagging my photos for fear of trolls. I don't think anyone would do that since I'm also well-known in other areas of the web. Still, the prevalence of Catfish and the like, I have to be a bit cautious. No weight gain at all!

According to babygaga.com: Congratulations! You’re now housing a human who weighs nearly a pound and measures nearly a foot in length!

Future Baby Mama…lazy edition

Today is Hump Day, Bump Day or HDBD for short. I'm feeling hella lazy today so I'm not sure when I'll make my way to the bathroom for a picture. Instead, here's a picture from last Friday when I was about to have a lunch date with a friend. I'm really glad I'm past the 'Fat or Pregnant?' stage and my bump is finally bigger than my booty.
