pregnancy: week-by-week

Just found out! 3-4 weeks
8 weeks
10 weeks

12 weeks
Apparently I completely missed 14 and 16 .... and thus we slide right on in to the "chubby" phase

18 weeks

20 weeks
22 weeks
Finally looking pregnant!
24 weeks
26 weeks - I was really really sick

28 weeks
30 weeks
32 weeks
34 weeks
36 weeks
38 weeks (Christmas Eve!)
40 weeks

I thought every other week would be more than enough, but now I wish I'd done a photo every week (and not missed a ton of weeks in between).  Also, I should have picked one outfit to wear the whole time so that the change was more obvious.  I realized this after 24 weeks, which is why I keep cramming my huge self into that white shirt and sweats after that (although white shirt and white door was not the best choice).
I still have a little pooch, but it's okay because it's a mamma pooch and it means I have a baby.

Baby Tyler James came on January 9 at 1:45 pm.  It was almost exactly a 12-hour labor, and I didn't have to have a c-section even though he weighed 8lbs 14 oz and was 21 and 1/8 inch.  I look at these pictures and can't believe I had an almost 9-pound baby in me!  It's amazing really.

T.J. is on-track to come home from the NICU Thursday morning.  We are praying that he continues improving and no other complications pop up!

Aww, such love!!! I love this!

Can't wait to hear about his birth, did your labor come on its own? And hopefully you'll share about his pneumonia, because I'm really curious about it...how did they know he was sick? What is pre-birth, or not until he came out? (My cousin had a 10 pound baby born vaginally!)

I have another friend that had her baby girl on Friday 1/10, and they've already posted pictures at home. And I've thought of you and how hard it must be to have him in the hospital! But obviously that's for the best, but I'm sure you are super anxious to have him home and in your arms!

Sending lots of prayers and blessings your way!

You're so cute! I love this series of pictures. I'm so happy you're not pregnant anymore, and I can't wait for you to bring him home. Hurray for babies!
