Caitlin over at Confessions of a Northern Belle put together a really neat bump post. Featuring a few friends, Katie from Old Burlap and Lace shared a few pictures also!
She mentions in the beginning of her post that she thought every pregnancy was pretty much the same, I agree.
The day I took the test I thought my belly would pop out, I'd be in cute maternity clothes, I'd have an awesome "prego glow" and everything was going to be so cute...

Here I am at 19 weeks and just starting to show, there is no glow just acne, clothes do not fit nor look near as cute as I thought they would right now in this in between stage, there is no soon to be super momma powers going on over here, I need naps and I take them. I feel great most of the time but sometimes little man decides he just doesn't like what I ate and that can change daily. Headaches are pretty much a daily event a long with heartburn, sciatica nerve and aches. However, I wouldn't trade a minute with all of this if it means I get to love on a sweet little boy in December. I count it all as a blessing and thank God for every symptom that means I have a healthy, strong, little blessing growing inside of me.
