Ah ha. I got Ava to take a picture of me and here I am at 14 weeks. (She was so concerned with getting a good belly shot that she cut off my head which I think I'll stick with for future shots--I want a record of this growing baby not the rest of me!). And speaking of growing, a box of maternity clothes arrived on my doorstep just in time. Hello number four! I remember I made it to 20 weeks before wearing maternity with Ava, 18 weeks with Jack, and maybe 15-16 with Jemma.
Our baby is now the size of a lemon and can squint, frown, and suck it's thumb. It's kidneys, liver, and spleen have started working and it even has it's very own fingerprints. I should be feeling better but I'm not which has me a bit concerned about how long this will last! Jack loves to check in on the baby and he was really worried the other day because he couldn't hear it crying through my belly button. When informed that the baby won't cry till it comes out, he wanted to know why we don't just leave it in if that's where it wants to be. I said ask me again in five months!
I've had many questions about what I think it is and I'm tempted to say it's a boy, which means it's most certainly a girl, which makes me think maybe it's a boy. This is not something I have ever gotten right so I don't bother guessing anymore. Truthfully, I would love for Jack to have a brother but this baby and Jem will be so close I would sort of like for her to have another sister and Jack is such a fantastic brother to girls that I think that would be good too. But don't worry we will find out and if you're lucky we'll tell ya! :)

you are adorable pregnant! isn't it crazy how much you pop with the second kid? I was 10 weeks pregnant with Theo and hadn't told many people yet but since I was popping out most people guessed!
Oh Carissa, you are too nice! Just wait--there is a reason why I have no pregnant pictures!
There are NO pictures of me either, I am not a pretty pregnant person. I swell EVERYWHERE, face, fingers and feet! When I was pregnant w/ Theo in the NYC humid hot summer and I was so swollen that I had to wear compression hosiery, so unattractive and embarrassing! I looked like a beached whale at the park, I think even Carter was freaked out!
What a great picture, Kelly! You are so cute and you look so thin with just a tiny bump. I am glad you are digitally recording this pregnancy because we want to see lots and lots of pictures of your cute belly!!
