My second pregnancy lasted almost 39 weeks. I was determined to take regular "baby bump" photos for the memories of pregnancy. Pregnancy is such an honour and I did not want to take those months for granted. It is already so cool to look back at these photos to see how baby (and I!) grew.

It never ceases to amaze me at how women can carry new little human beings inside of us! It's just so incredible what our bodies can do. I was so, so privileged to carry our little boy to almost 39 weeks. All of the aches and pains and waddles and whale-like movements and tiredness and eye-bags and heaviness for those months of pregnancy were so, so worth it.
