because i’m almost five months pregnant….

Almost five months pregnant, and while this time around there just isn’t the same fanfare there was when I was pregnant with little man, I still have all the same symptoms of pregnancy.

Because I’m almost five months pregnant…I have major pregnancy cravings. I crave blt’s (but who doesn’t?). I love these things- I make them with toasted english muffins, lettuce, mayo, and crispy bacon…of course, I get organic, preservative-free and nitrate-free bacon for my blt recipe to ease my pregnancy cravings and keep growing baby healthy:

Because I’m almost five months pregnant….my belly button started to stick out. I’m almost 5 months pregnant in this belly photo, but if you listen to my mother, I look more like I am seven months along):

Because I’m almost five months pregnant….I always have messy hair, and I am sporting the “ombre” look a la Drew Barrymore and Rachel Bilson because I don’t want to highlight or color my hair while pregnant. This means my dark roots are actually very fashionable, but I really have no excuse for the messy hair:

Because I’m almost five months pregnant….I want to sleep all the time, but I can’t because my son jumps on my belly and the baby inside me kicks him back, and then keeps kicking for good measure, so I pretty much sleep about 4-5 hours a night (which may be normal, but I don’t remember because I have another symptom…”pregancy amnesia”).

    For what it is worth, you are still gorgeous and that english muffin looks delicious!

    You’re so cute! I love the hair and the belly shots! I think you kind of look like Molly Sims in that pic of the hair. And my husband says our bellies look about the same so I must look 7 months pregnant too. Although my dental hygenist couldn’t tell I was pregnant and my friends say they wouldn’t have known if I hadn’t told them but I think they’re all lying. (I’m keeping the typo on hygienist because I’m too lazy to delete and retype everything.)

  • I don’t think you look 7 months pregnant. When I was pregnant with my son, my father in law used to take me to my chiropractor appointments. When I was about 6 or 7 months along, he started asking all the people in the waiting room every time we went if they thought I was having twins.
