Annnd just like that, 3 more weeks have passed! I compared some of these recent bump photos to my very first ones and it really is crazy to see more of the dramatic transformation. Little Llewyn is definitely getting bigger and I can’t believe I have under two months to go! (Well, give or take a week or two….)

Definitely starting to feel some effects of the 3rd trimester, at this point….

• Still sleeping well, overall, but I toss and turn more and sometimes wake up with one of my hips hurting.
• My hands and feet are definitely swelling off and on. Since I’ve never had this issue any other time in my life, it’s weird to feel like there are days when none of my shoes fit. Hoping this isn’t the case for all of the remaining weeks of the pregnancy…. :-/
• I’ve officially started to “waddle”. Not all the time, but usually by the end of the day if I’ve been fairly active, my hips and feet are uncomfortable enough that it just sort of happens. Hah.
• I had my final baby shower, so I’m excited to focus on really getting the nursery ready and things all prepped for bringing him home!
• Now that his space is getting more limited, I feel him move a TON, which is fun. Makes me so, so excited to get to meet him!
• I’m beginning to reach that mental point where I’m just “ready to have my body back”….but I know I just have to tough it out for a few more weeks. ;)

Overall, things are going well! I have my last 4 portrait shoots this week and next and then will be taking all of May off of shooting in final prep and relaxation before he comes (which is probably especially good considering the swollen feet). But I’m grateful I’m still feeling pretty well and can get out and enjoy some more of the amazing Spring weather and sneak in a few more fun shoots! :)

Yay for growing babies and healthy pregnancies!
