There she is folks, in all her glory...Blink's home for the past 10 months. I was hesitant to take pictures in the beginning so I didn't do it until I started noticing a bump, around Week 15. And man, I remember thinking I was ha-uuuuuge in the early 20s weeks. Silly girl. I also missed a few weeks here and there. Boo hoo. So here are my observations:
-I totally forgot about Week 16's shirt. I really like it and am pumped to wear it again. It'll be like getting new clothes!
-I'd give anything to look like Week 17 right now.
-Week 23 was my first official maternity shirt and I remember thinking how long it was and considering shortening it. Ha. If you look at Week 36, that shirt is creeping right on up. Good thing I left it alone.
-Old Navy t-shirts saved my almost non-existant maternity clothes budget.
-Week 37 was a dress I picked up at Old Navy that week. I didn't want to spend $25 so late in the game but it was cute and I had a party to go to, so I did. I've been living in it, super comfy.
-It's amazing a difference a month makes these days. Week 35's shirt is being stretched to the limit this week at Week 40. And it's not even maternity.
-I think it's pretty clear when I "dropped". Between Weeks 37 & 38, Blink took a nosedive towards my pelvis and it's been aching like a mofo ever since.
-I love how my skintone remained constantly pale from February through August. Just another sign that I barely left my house. Thanks hottest-July-on-record, you were a bitch. And you're right behind her, August.
-Wedding rings came off around Week 38. I didn't want to, for fear of looking like a knocked-up hussy (No offense to my knocked-up hussy readers out there) but it had to be done.

So I'm done. Week 41 will bring with it either a) a baby or b) a baby via induction. The next belly shot will be with me pointing to stretchmarks and flibby flab, telling Blink that he or she "did this to me!!!" We might want to keep that one private though.

ok, I've have been logging in every morning..what is Blink waiting for! Hang in there! lovin the read!
- you FORMER co-worker...The Wedding Singer ;)
Every day I think I am going to see a little baby face on your blog! Maybe today! Good luck.
What a great collage of pictures - so fun that you did this! Hope Blink comes soon!
Come on, Blink!!!
Also, how funny is that title?! Now I have Beyonce in my head. Hopefully you won't be babylicious much longer!
You make me wish I took belly pics! Very cute, and by the way, you have excellent clothes/tastes.
Hope Blink isn't too much trouble or pain today, and I will keep my eyes open for something to keep you occupied until he or she gets here!
you look great, even with stretched to the max shirts! come onnnn baby!
Isn't it crazy how much bigger we can get in just a few short weeks?! I remember (of course I had twins) how much I changed from the 20 week mark to the 30's and it was insane. I had a couple Target jersey dresses that I wore for shirts the last month or so. Maternity shirts were a joke at that point. :) You had me LOL'ing at flibby flab - one of the great joys of motherhood but it is very worth it. :)
I have that dress! First purchase from Old Navy ever I think. haha I knew it looked familiar.
Awesome job keeping up with the belly pics- that looks so professional!
I love how youre wearing a different shirt in every pic.
I cant wait to hear the good news!
DUDE, Get out of my bellllllly! All the luck with you labor darling!
Oh wow I love seeing them all side-by-side. I can totally see the drop between 37-38 meaning I MUST copy you if I ever find myself knocked up :+) Now have that baby already... I can't wait to see blinky!
Love your bump pictures! :) Very cute clothes, too!
good work, friend. love the drop.
I'm right around the corner and will be a l'hopital the second I hear Blink's coast is clear!
Nice job documenting it all! Your commentary is so funny - all the things that would have gone through my head, but would never have said out loud!
It's funny how when you just look at 2 consecutive weeks side by side, the difference doesn't seem that big, but then you see them all together like this... Love your week 28 top by the way!
Stalker confession: I check my blog reader about three times a day hoping you'll have posted an "I'm-in-screaming-horrible-labor" update. I cannot wait!
But, this was almost as good. :)
Can't wait to see that adorable babe!
Is it awful the first thing I think of is "wow.. I kinda want to go shopping with Shan."
J/K. That was like the second thing I thought of. First thing I thought of was "BABY!!" and then I looked for the mustard.
I can't wait for Monday. I want baby.
LB
praying for you!
LMAO at "no offense to my knocked-up hussie readers." You are as hilarious as ever.
Get that baby out of your belly! Can't wait to see that cute little thing. (Is it kosher to call a baby a thing?)
so So excited for you and your little family. waiting, waiting is the hardest part. praying it all goes well. it seems like the time you can finally take your mind off of it...bam! labor! can't wait to see that babe's beautiful face. soon!
You still look great at 40 weeks! Good for you for staying on the picture taking. I've totally been slacking on it. Love me so Old Navy, too! It's a life-saver.
I keep checking for a Blink update! Good luck in these last few days. Can't wait to see the babe.
Good luck!!!
woohoo! s/he's almost here!!! wait maybe s/he already is! YEE!!!
i'm hoping your lack of posting means a bebe is here! and if not, i wouldn't blame you for not posting! :)
Knocked up hussy? Howling with laughter, seriously! I'm sure you are quite ready to meet your new baby!
I need a baby fix - Hope you are doing well!!!! Get your rest......inbetween posting pics of new little one! ha
hugs, hope it all went well.
Are you a mom yet??? :D
Okay, seriously. I've decided you've had your baby. Now, come back and show us that cute face. ;)
Since I totally stalk you... I noticed that you haven't posted in 4 days! Does that mean Blinky has arrived????
Oh I hope you both are doing wonderful, can't wait till you get back to telling us all the details :+) Ok wait maybe not details... crap you know what I mean.
