75%

Wow! It's the big 30 week mark. 75% done. 10 weeks left.

We'll commemorate this momentous milestone by taking a journey. to the past.
Flash back 26 weeks ago, to February 26. McKay had been on a business trip and said I wasn't allowed to pee on any sticks until he came back. When he did, I was ready.

positive! 4 weeks pregnant

Over the next bundle of weeks, I did my best to take a picture a week of my growing profile. I only missed a handful of photo shoots. Here's a timeline of my baby bump.

And now - about 6 months, a BYU diploma, and two seasons later - here I am at 30 weeks!


The baby is growing and moving like crazy. It's fun to see little wiggles and jolts coming from my belly. It's hard to believe that there are ten more weeks of growth left in this child - and in my body!

I'm really enjoying this stage of things. Although my lungs and ribs feel a bit crowded, I'm grateful for the occasional discomfort. My baby girl is growing healthy and strong. I couldn't wish for anything more.

10 weeks ago we found out we were expecting a girl. And 10 weeks before that we were listening to Steve Jobs announce the iPad from our basement apartment. In the next 10 weeks we'll celebrate the best season of the year and get ready for our little one to arrive. Happy three quarters!

  2. Stephanie! Your getting so big and cute! Can you believe there is really a baby in there? Time flies huh? I realized upon reading this post that since I'm about ten weeks ahead of you...oh ya...I'm due this week!! I am so excited/terrified! Your baby shower gifts were so cute..I love little girl things. Thats why I still haven't bought anything because I can't do gender neutral when little girl clothes are so adorable! Happy belated birthday and i hope you continue to feel well!
