It could look like a lot of Krispy Kreme donuts and daquiris behind my belt, but this is happening right now.
Only this picture was taken at 13 weeks, and I’m now 18 weeks along.
It’s weird, I should have more words to say. They should be cascading out of me, spilling onto the keyboard…like a dictionary held to a flame. But I am still in awe and I can’t believe it’s happening…even though my stomach is getting bigger. Even though I was a dizzy miserable mute for 10 weeks. Waking up like I’d pounded 6 well margaritas the night before. Yet I partied with H2O and crackers.
When I hit 14 weeks, it was magic. The nausea left my stomach and brain. I put on heels and lipstick, and smiled because I could.
14 WEEKS
18 WEEKS
So here I am…with the incredibly/or subtly expanding stomach, I don’t know which. The evolution of Baby Z2 has begun.
I am incredibly fortunate because it took so much to get here. SO MUCH. (Money. Needles. Pills. Patches. Prayers)
I’m sure in the weeks to come I’ll fill my posts with sentimental odes, lofty dreams and general weirdness, but for now – I’m just coming out of the baby closet and it feels nice.
Also, really nice to say, NO folks I’m NOT FAT!
I once loved Taco Bell, but right now I’m packing away produce. A baby the size of a turnip one week, an avocado the next and now a bell pepper. I am a walking breathing Farmer’s Market and I’m happily coming to terms with it (between waves of panic).

Mama Boo (x2)
Turn This Mother Out 
So excited for you and the whole fam. You’ll kick just as much A with this precious nugget as you’ve done with Milo already. The second babe is a blast, so much less stress and worry. You’ve been there, done that and can really relax and savor the baby days. Also, WTS with your adorable pregnant self?! You wear that baby well! Xoxo.
Thanks so much Bree – I’m hoping I can muster enough energy with #2, Milo has me running around like a maniac. Also hoping Baby ZII is a little more chill, but so far that’s not the case in the womb, lots of gymnastics already. Also, I am taking selfies when I get home from work. NOt the days I am in sweats with oily hair, ha! Btw: I just love that little Kate Muse of yours. Such big eyes and so much expression in that adorable round face!
