Baby 2 :: Weeks 17 & 18

/ My Little Ones, Personal, Self Portraits / 10 Comments

It’s that time again. My belly is growing!

Since the moment we began planning for baby #2 (which was actually quite a few months before we actually did have a baby on the way), I’ve been brainstorming a new pregnancy photo series in my head. Unfortunately, I never came up with anything that satisfied me and I started to run out of time! My belly was starting to grow and I wasn’t documenting it! Luckily, while writing out my daily to-do list a couple weeks ago and adding ‘belly picture’ to it, I came up with this little idea in my head. My inspiration came from Serena & Lily. I love their designs so much, don’t you?

So here we go with weeks 17 & 18. My belly sure didn’t grow much during the first trimester, through all the nausea, but boy is it popping out now that my appetite has returned. :)

Time to get the stretchy clothes out; my button was undone in that last photo.

xo,
donya

    Hi! I just started reading your blog and love all the pics! I live near Galveston & am 17 weeks pregnant w/ my 2nd too! It’s such an exciting time, but I’m with ya–starting to feel the discomforts already..back aches, head aches, sore legs, etc. But, it will be so worth it in the end!! Your pictures are great!!

      Thanks for stopping by, Alyssas! Congrats on baby #2! Hopefully the Texas summer isn’t too hard on us pregnant mamas. :)

    I love this! You look amazing, Donya!

    Yes, you look amazing. When I was pregnant, I was so tired from either the pregnancy itself or taking care of a tot that I didn’t have the energy to take weekly pictures. This is so awesome, you are awesome.

      Joyce – I definitely didn’t have the energy during the first tri! Hopefully I can keep the motivation I have now through the rest! It was tough during the first pregnancy and I didn’t have a toddler then.

    You look fantastic, Donya! Can’t wait to hear whether you’ll be adding another adorable boy or a sweet girl to the mix!
