Hump Day Bump Day! 3/3/2010

I am beyond excited about our first ever July 2010 Mamas Bump picture day!! Thank you so much to all the mamas who submitted your pics for our viewing pleasure! You all look just WONDERFUL!!!! I have to be honest and tell you that maybe it's all these pregnancy hormones but I shed a few tears posting these. I'm just so happy for everyone and LOVE seeing our babies growing big and strong in those beautiful bellies. It never ceases to amaze me just how wonderful and special a woman's body really is! Pregnancy is such a miracle.

I AM NOT ALONE

Running errands and talking on the phone,
I am pleasantly reminded that I am not alone.
Little tiny hands a precious rounded knee
pushing and twisting that no one can see.
Oh sweet child kicking up your heels,
it is our little secret that only I can feel.
I look forward to your birth,
when I can kiss your skin,
but for now I will just smile,
As I feel you play within.


OK, enough of my mushy cheesyness. Here we go with some pics!

Great Expectations Sweepstakes...

If you enter this drawing you can save $20 on a $100 Maternity purchase at Old Navy or Gap. I think the last day to enter is 1/17/2010 and the coupon is good until 1/31/2010. When I used mine it took $20 off the most expensive item in my cart. I know we're all at the point where we're about to pop any day (or already growing out of our clothes!) so hopefully this helps!!
