Confessions of a Working Mom: My Christmas tree is still up. Maybe I'll just leave it up until next year. I kind of like it.
These pictures were taken at different angles so it is hard to compare, but I am actually carrying lower this time. My belly is not really any bigger, just different.
I can't believe you're already 31 weeks- Wow! It's going by really fast for me;]
