Belly Pictures--beginning of Month 8

33 weeks (just starting month 8) with baby #2

32 weeks (just ending month 7) with baby #1
and, for more fun comparison, here's my last belly pic, from about 5 weeks ago.

#32

So last month I turned 32. It was a great birthday. J let me sleep in and took me to Target (I seriously love that store, and I miss living 5 minutes away from it). Then later, he and R made me a cake, decorated with peanut butter, and R drew me a card.

Here's a close-up of the card. She insisted that J write everybody's name on the card (remember-- she LOVES birthdays, and likes to have us sing happy birthday to everyone and anyone she can think of).I also used the opportunity to wear my cutest maternity dress and take a belly shot or two. (for reference, in this photo I am 28w, just starting month 7).

as compared to 27.5w (6 months) with baby #1

It's amazing how much bigger you look the 2nd time around. I wonder if this will hold true through the entire pregnancy or if things will shift around and eventually end up looking different.
