Baby Bump - Week 26

The baby bump has been existent for quite a few weeks - but I'm finally starting to notice it!  A few weeks ago, I would look in the mirror and surprise myself at times with my reflection. 

And now, the bump just keeps growing.  Which, of course, is a good thing because that means that my baby girl is growing!  But, there are minor inconveniences involved with the growing bump. 

• It's not possible to bend over straight down anymore! Fortunately, I can still bend without too much strain...but it is still an adjustment. 
• Sleep is different than before.  I used to sleep on my stomach, clearly I do not anymore! I am still adjusting to sleeping on my side...and sometimes I struggle to fall asleep!
• Maternity pants finally fit!  Things that used to be baggy in the belly area now fit...again, it is a good thing because that means baby girl is growing.  Regardless, it is still an interesting phenomenon. 
• Women spend the majority of their lives trying to be fit with a flat stomach.  During pregnancy, people want to see your belly grow and it's the first time in my life that it is acceptable to show off a growing belly!
• Weight gain is hard to stomach (no pun intended), even though it is for a good cause. 
• Extra weight gain + wearing heels all day = sore feet at the end of the day

In all honesty, I am enjoying my baby bump and like seeing it grow on a weekly basis.
