butternut squash belly.

sage is 15(ish) inches long, 2.5 lbs and is equivalent to the size of a butternut squash.  but wait a minute...  i've never seen a 15 in long butternut squash.  babycenter might be off a bit.

here she is in all her (almost) glory:


28 weeks and 6 days.

my brain is saying slow down.  we haven't started the nursery.

my back is saying, we still have 11 weeks to go?!  i'm tired.

oh, and happy st. patrick's day.  no.  i'm not wearing green.  but you can't pinch me.  i have a good excuse... my wardrobe is limited.

I have never seen a 15 inch squash either! Ever! But maybe we don't know anything, and that's just a normal squash-size?!
:)
Cute belly!

Jenilee said...

Natalie Catherine said...

Cindy Foote said...

Good morning butternut!

Annie said...

only 11 weeks to go?!?!? you are still so tiny and look great! I want to be you my next pregnancy!!! :) You better get on that nursery project before your back won't let you! :)
also laughing about your "limited wardrobe"-- what woman who's ever been pregnant can't relate?!?!? :) (Especially near the end...I remember thinking, I've got to have her soon, becuase I'm down to 2 shirts that fit!) Ha..

Ok, you are the cutest ever!!! Really, only 11 weeks to go???...girl you are so tiny! Does anyone really wear green on St. Patty's day??? My poor kids are gonna be pinched all day because I forgot this morning:-p

FirstComesLove.Then said...

Haha! I can totally relate today:) I'm not wearing green either {via, limited wardrobe}! I do own green flats, but just totally forgot today was St. Patty's Day:( Oh well. ADORABLE pic! I have to say, I'm pretty sure my bump is equivalent to yours and I'm only 23 weeks and 3 days. Plus, it's only my first! I fear this is a big baby!

amanda said...

11 weeks? Those will fly by. It will be June in no time. I know this b/c my son's 2nd birthday is in June and I haven't even began to plan his birthday. It'll be here before I am ready. Good luck with nursery.
