Baby Bumps
I wanna see some bump photos 
Does anyone want to share? I hope all of the July bride pregnancies are going well. Let me know how things are going!

Re: Baby Bumps
DH and I just did our maternity pics today, so as soon as I get some of the pics back from our photographer, I'll PIP or link to them
Things are going well here, got the last of the major stuff we need from Target & BRU last night (yay giftcards!) and are working on the nursery today and probably tomorrow too. I'll probably start washing everything after my birthday (mid-month) so that everything can be clean if LO decides to arrive early. I feel like time is crawling by, but we do have less than 6 weeks left until the due date!!
How are the other mommies/mommies-to-be doing?
We're doing well! Little man is growing like a weed. I'm moving him out of 0-3 month clothes, and he just started wearing size 2 diapers. He's really starting to show an interest in things around him now. He's always reaching for and grabbing things. And he's trying to roll. He can get halfway (onto his side), which is adorable except when I'm trying to change his diaper haha!
I'm still unsure about showing my bump...to me it's just an extra bloated belly. I have my 12 week appt on Tuesday after school and then I go to a specialist on Friday for some bloodwork.
I went to a friend's house this afternoon and she had a little baby gift for me....a onesie, hooded towel and socks! Yeah for first baby presents!!!!
Since we live in an apartment, the nursery is pretty simple. We have chocolate brown furniture for baby and just a bunch of Disney stuff (stuff that was there before plus some baby stuff). So we have some generic Winnie the Pooh sheets for the crib, a Pooh poster but left up some of the lithographs we already had hanging in there. I'll link to pics of that too when it's more put away; right now everything is like half put away!
Glad the little man is doing well. It's fun when they really come into their realization/curiosity phases and begin exploring. Don't rush him getting mobile - one he is you spend all your time chasing after him (especially if he's like my sister and figured out how to use rolling as a mode of transportation!!)
26 week pic.
I can't wait to see your maternity pics! And I can't believe you only have 6 weeks left it's going to go by so quick!
I want to see pics of the little guy!
I'm going to wait to share a bump pic until I get my maternity pictures done in a few weeks
I'm holding out til I've got a little bit bigger of a bump so I look good and extra preggo in my pics!
We're getting a lot done for the baby! The nursery is coming along awesome with a brown and green jungle theme...if you're friends with me on FB or following me on pintrest, there are some sneak peeks up! I'm just trying to take it easy right now since the baby is sitting on my sciatic nerve (which means OUCH), so crafting and decorating are good time consumers that won't overdo things
hope all the other preggers are doing well!
As promised, a preview of our maternity pictures! clicky
(I'm going to bed so sorry to P&R but let me know if it doesn't work and I'll fix it in the morning!!)
Edit: link fixed
Boo, I couldn't see your pictures!
I fixed it so that you can see them on my baby blog so you can go back and try the new link. Apparently google chrome and TN don't play well together, I had to open this in IE to get it to work.
You are too cute! Love the baby bump!
EDIT
Nest Fail!!
Daisy, I tried to quote you but I guess the Nest is taking Labor Day off! Love your pic. You look great!
Boo again. FB does not want to let me see your pics! Oh well!
Daisy - thanks

Yay! Thanks Steph! The pictures look wonderful! I also love your blue dress!
Kristen- i love your little belly
love them steph!!!
Hope all you mommy-to-be's are doing great!!! Ive been a little MIA from TN but Im back I cant believe my little girl is going to be 3mo already! eeeek she is growing up TOO quick
Yeah that definitely looks like a dress you could wear whether pregnant or not. I love Kohl's maternity section and have gotten quite a few things there but I hate buying anything there unless it's on the 80% off rack, or else I feel ripped off when two months later I go there and it's waaaaay cheaper than what I paid!
I totally understand that! That inbetween period when you go from no bump to obvious baby bump is hard...I was so excited when people could tell that I was pregnant and that I didn't have a beer gut! I hope that your appointment went well yesterday
And that is too exciting about your first gifts! You will get a TON. People loooooove to buy baby stuff lol.
Aww your nursery sounds so nice! Ours took forever to come together. And then he never slept in his room before we moved haha. But I loooove the room we set up for him at our new house. I think it's hard to get it completely set up until your baby arrives, because it's hard to know exactly what you will want where and exactly what you'll need. I didn't feel like it came together until after DS was born.
It is definitely very cute when DS explores. I agree about him going mobile! It will be soooo cute, but it's nice to know that if I put him somewhere, he'll stay and not try to go elsewhere
He is kind of rolling as a mode of transportation...but I think it's on accident. He kicks his legs in his crib a lot and moves around all over the place in there. I'm not sure if he means to though, or if he's just having fun kicking his legs.
Ahh!! So cute! You look beautiful
Next time I get on my computer, I'll have to put up a new photo
Aww you're making me wait lol...that's okay, I'm looking forward to seeing your maternity photos! Your nursery sounds great, too! DS hit my sciatic nerve a lot whenever I bent over...it made drying my hair a little difficult lol.
VERY cute maternity pics!! Thanks
And trust me, you can TOTALLY wear that dress when you're not pregnant. I have a top and a dress that are very similar that are maternity, and I still wear them. You can't even tell that they were maternity!
I agree about Kohl's...the one near us had almost nothing to begin with, and what they did have was sooo overpriced. I did manage to snag a pair of jeans for $8 (originally $55) though, so I was quite happy about that
