I’m coming to the end of 22 weeks now, and am really starting to show! What could have once passed as a food baby or too large of a lunch is now looking more and more like a bona fide baby bump. We’ve been taking biweekly photos of the progression of the belly since I was 14 weeks (in the same black maternity dress for consistency), and while I’m still only a little past the halfway point of pregnancy and have several weeks to go, we thought we’d share the progress up until now:

Certain things are already starting to get uncomfortable, it’s exhausting to stand for long periods of time, and I’ve been having trouble finding a good position to sleep in. I can’t imagine how life is going to be at full term, when the baby (currently the size of a papaya) is going to be as large as a watermelon in the tummy. (Yikes!)

We’ll continue to take pictures of the progress of my abdominal girth… stay tuned in the coming months to watch me as I balloon into ungainly proportions!
