cooking baby: week twelve

Four is as high as we go, so we are making sure to document this growing belly. I always wanted to take monthly pics with each of my girls before, but never got around to it. This time we are making sure to do it and we are doing it weekly though we just started on week 12. The reason for the late start is because it took me forever to find the perfect dress to take it in. I wanted the pictures to be in the same dress, so you can really see the difference from beginning, kinda beginning, to end.

I ended up getting this dress and luckily it went on sale, so I got a nice price adjustment (makes me feel much better). I just tucked in the waist a bit, since it sits at an awkward place due to the baby belly and cut a strip from some green jersey fabric and used it as a sash to hide the weird waistline from my raising it up.

I am actually in week 13 now, so I am a bit behind in sharing this picture that we took last week. I think I look farther along than I actually am, but it is because this uterus has been stretched out so many times already (and very recently, I might add) coupled with the fact I am short, so this belly really just pops.

I know some of you have asked to see my pregnancy fashion. Honestly, right now, I am in such a rut. I just want to wear pajamas all day long! Hopefully, once this morning sickness says "bye bye", dressing will be fun again. For now, all I get dressed up for are the weekends when I have to leave the house.

Week 12 is when I first started to feel semi-better. The constant nasty taste in my mouth is not as strong and nausea only takes over in the morning. I am praying with faith that I will feel semi-normal soon enough, but days are getting better slowly... yippee!

Have a great weekend! Ours involves finishing up taxes. so. not. fun. What does your weekend involve?

p.s. I am so very behind in emails, so I may owe some of you one that date back to February (so sorry!). Once taxes are finished up, emails are next on my to-do list, but please forgive the pregnant woman for the late response! Thanks for hanging in there anyways!!!
