I’m so behind on my bump dates so I thought I would update you all in one post! I’m not all of the way through my second trimester, but I hope to be better about the weekly bump dates after this! I actually started trying to take the weekly picture after 16 weeks, once I had a bump! I am still feeling really great and gaining some energy back! Life is SO BUSY but I wouldn’t trade it for anything! Being pregnant with baby number 3 has been such a blessing and we’re loving every second of it!
I didn’t start taking weekly pictures until 16 weeks, so I dont have pics for these first two:

We got to see the baby this week and made it through the anatomy scan without finding out gender! Let me tell you, that took some WILL POWER! The sweet little face is just perfect.
