the pregnancy diaries: week 31

hey yo! steven took some naked belly shots of me today.   so here you go, for documentation's sake.  {please note the ugly body pillow. that's what costco had, so that's what i bought.  i will be recovering it after we move.}

hello little girl.

and a nice close up. with my outtie belly button.

crazy to think that this belly will get bigger still as baby girl will likely double in size {what to expect says she's almost 4 pounds, but i think our baby is probably more like 3 or 3.5}.

i'm ready to wear normal clothes again. and button my pants because, you know, that is more socially acceptable {unfortunately}.  i pull my shirt up {as i have above} just about every chance i get.
also ready to join in on all those core exercises i love so much.  and all of the other moves i have to modify {erin and i still go to ripped together twice a week. i love that class so much. but it's pretty intense, so we modify a lot of moves. and i wear my heart rate monitor so i don't overheat baby or anything crazy like that, which by the way, my heart rate goes up so fast these days.}  and i am ready to do all of the spinal twists and inversions and core work in yoga that i love.

but really, i can't complain.  i'm just so thankful i have been able to run and lift and do yoga my whole pregnancy.  plus,  i'm growing a sweet little human inside of me!! and she will be here before we know it.  i cannot wait.  i am so excited. each day it gets a little more real. and each week we get a little more prepared.  we bought a box of diapers this week!

side note: i really want a veggie juice right now but it's like 10 pm and i don't feel like juicing and cleaning the juicer right now.  i settled for some warm lemon water instead.

i hope you enjoyed the naked belly photos.

there will be more.
