So, I haven’t been taking bump photos as regularly as I should, but I have taken a few. In those early weeks, there definitely wasn’t a bump to show off, so I didn’t think to document it.
Even now, Nick is skeptical if there even is a bump. A few times while I’ve been getting ready in the morning, he makes a comment like, “You sure look skinny for a pregnant lady…”
Which I’m honestly not sure how to take. I certainly feel like I see a bump, so it’s somewhat frustrating to me that Nick doesn’t.
Above, from left to right: 16 weeks, 20 weeks, 23 weeks.
As of writing this, I’m currently 23 weeks. It’s been in the past couple of weeks (probably starting around week 21) that I’ve been consistently wearing maternity pants. I don’t necessarily have to wear maternity clothes, as most of my clothes do still fit, but some of my pants are starting to get a bit snug.
But honestly, maternity pants are just much more comfy right now.
Another adjustment I’ve had to make is in my pajamas. I’ve always been one to wear shorts or PJ pants with a T-shirt to bed, but not anymore. For the past few weeks, sleep shirts are where it’s at for me.
There’s just something so nice about not having any constrictions or pressure on my abdomen while I’m trying to sleep.
At the 20-week mark, I had been hopeful I’d start feeling more kicks and movement from Baby Boy, but it’s felt relatively quiet in there. I was honestly starting to get a little worried, but I would soon learn why I haven’t felt much around the holidays. (And it really has picked in up in the past couple of weeks!)
We’ll pick up there next week!
