Smuggling Basketballs?

I can't believe it's been almost 10 weeks since I had last taken a picture of my 'baby belly'. Like all good intentions, I had planned on taking a picture once a week to compare the changes - hmm, wouldn't that have been cool? Well my first trimester I felt all bloated/sick/gross, the beginning of the second trimester I just felt fat - not really pregnant. Now however, we've rounded out to a nice pregnant belly!! Oh - then of course there was the case of the missing camera...Still looking for that darn thing. It's probably in a landfill somewhere...

So - here are the pictures at 27 weeks because I know that's what you have been waiting for, then we'll meet back up at the bottom...

Here's the front shot. I think I have been pretty lucky to just 'gain' all in the front. Now I could be wrong - if I look fat somewhere else, just don't tell me. I HAVE been extremely lucky so far (knock on wood) to not have any stretch marks - I have been very diligent about lotioning up every day - even though all of the books say that doesn't help at all...It could also be the 3 gallons of water I drink daily.

And of course here is a 'side shot'. Does it look like I am smuggling basketballs yet?

So there they are. Please ignore the dirty bathroom mirror in the pictures - that part of nesting hasn't kicked in yet. However, the urge to declutter EVERYTHING and vacuum every other day sure has. We were out of school for most of this past week due to snow and I broke down eventually and shampooed the living room carpet. I fought the urge to shampoo the carpet in the whole house since I wouldn't really have anywhere to go that wasn't wet carpet and it was WAY too cold to open windows to air everything out!

Exciting exciting. I can tell baby is starting to run out of room in there because every movement feels amplified and she has been kicking me in the ribs hard enough to about cripple me. I can't believe how fast it's moving now - I was told this would happen. After next week, my doctor's visits will be every 2 weeks (and I thought monthly was a pain!). I am starting to run out of steam too. Oh - and let's not forget the labor dreams that I have been having - last night it was that Logan forgot the camera and I made him go home from the hospital mid-labor to get it. I am sure pictures will be the last thing on my mind!
