Bump Progression

I’m so glad I took weekly bump photos…it’s so fun to look back and see how it grew! I remember thinking I was SO big at 24 weeks…..boy was I wrong!

Probably the number one question I’ve received is where I got my chalkboard. My mom found it at an antique fair, but you could totally make one yourself out of an old painting….lots of tutorials on pinterest!

    I loved watching your bump grow too!!! I had many a conversation about how "this cute little blog mama" who did bump pics "right"

    🙂
    Hugs to Hudson!

    I've already shown my husband your precious bump pics and told him he WILL be doing these weekly, when the time comes of course 😉

    This collage is too cute! And that chalkboard really is too die for – if only I had fun handwriting like yours, too!

    I've seen the chalkboards a lot at the flea market lately. I call them "the preggo boards" because I've seen so many bloggers use them.

    OK, I don't know what's most impressive:

    -How cute you looked the entire pregnancy
    -How neat your handwriting is
    -How you managed to take a picture every week (I'm definitely failing there)
    OR
    -How you have a different outfit on in each photo! I recycle like 4 outfits every day.
