week 23.5 (& my very favorite bump pics!)

This being pregnant thing is flying past. Honestly, I thought time would slow down a bit. We waited so long to be here… I thought the days would pass at the same rate. Not so much. Anyways, I’m about 23.5 weeks along! Here’s the update:Cravings:Brown...

week 20 – halfway!
