Well, I didn’t think I’d be writing a post with “week 41” in the title, but Baby B is enjoying her stay and just doesn’t want to seem to make her arrival yet! I spoke to my mom on the phone this week and I joked that she couldn’t be my child, I absolutely hate being late.

The past five weeks have zoomed by faster than I can could have imagined, which brings many new changes and updates on my ever-growing bump!
