35/35, woot!   And finally getting reeeeeeeeeeeeeally anxious and eager to find out if I'm going to have a son or a daughter.  I swear if they want to do an u/s at my 36 week appt to check position, I'll have a hard time not caving, haha   (kidding, I've come too far at this point...but MAN, it is harder than ever now!).

You look gorgeous!!!

Something that I wish I had done that others told me to do and I kick myself for now...

Take pictures of your bare belly at the very end (front and side) because you will forget how it looked...because bare is totally different from clothed.  

Pregnancy totally looks good on you!

Steff - You look great! I also wanted to know where you got most of your maternity clothes because you always look cute in your pics. Specifically, dark jeans.. as thats something I'll need for work.Jean shopping has always been painful for me (small waist, runners thighs) and unfortunately I fear it will get worse when maternity jean shopping.

Thanks you guys.  I was all excited thinking there might be a 12 week photo in here from you, T!

K, my bare belly is horrid looking.  I can't imagine wanting to keep those pictures around.  Eek.  I started getting stretch marks at like 15 weeks.  It's a nice thought...  I don't think I have the guts though

T, I also wear dark jeans for work almost every day.  Maternity jeans were easier for me than regular jeans though - hopefully you'll have the same experience!

I started out in Old Navy jeans, but as I got bigger, their panel was uncomfortable on my belly.  I far prefer the "secret fit" panel at Motherhood/Pea in a Pod.  I was annoyed when I (like people said I would ) needed a larger size/more comfy panel, especially b/c it was so close to the end that I didn't want to spend on pricier jeans.  But I did (got a Pea in a Pod brand) and they've been worth it b/c I really wear them almost every day.  My opinion is that for something like jeans, spend a little more for very few quality pieces (IMO, that's Motherhood/PiaP).  For other staple items like yoga pants, t-shirts, camis/tanks - Target and Old Navy are favorites (Target's Be Maternity seamless cami's are awesome - I wear them every single day).  I do like the shirts at Motherhood though too...I just waited for BOGO sales and such for those.

We just got back from the wading pool, so I'm looking like a hot mess. Thus the strategically placed camera ;-) 20w3d

No belly right now at 12 weeks and still wearing normal pants. I'll share when I have something to share

Thanks for the advice! I appreciate the tips.

Both you girls are looking good! Steph, I love the picture in your siggy (is that what it's called?). 

Here's me at 36 weeks. I'm started to get to the tired stage, so thank goodness for prenatal yoga which has helped me re-energize a bit.
