a baby belly

For months I awaited our little bean to grow big enough so that she would start showing herself. Now that she is making her debut, I realize I was fortunate to go 4 months and wear all of my normal clothes. Over the past couple of weeks, my wardrobe has drastically decreased due to the growing baby girl in my tummy. (Yes, we found out recently that we're having a girl!) While I do struggle to get dressed in the mornings, I happily go through my days so proud to show off my baby belly. I've chuckled at all the people who will outright ask me if I'm pregnant, and I've enjoyed all the kind words that people have for me about motherhood and baby girls.
With Baby Girl's growth, I'm much more able to feel her movements. I thought I could feel them starting about a month ago, but now I can really feel them. Even Mitch has been able to feel her moving the past couple of days. I notice her moving the most in the mornings, right as I'm going to bed, and during the night. I love just sitting with my hand on my belly as she wiggles around. It is a little strange feeling, but it brings big smiles to our faces when we feel her move!
