Oh hey, bumpdate! 16 weeks pregnant and I think yesterday was the first day I actually felt pregnant. Maybe it was the tank top I was wearing or my stomach feeling really tight and bloated but I felt like the bump made a big appearance! And for the first time in my life, I have a booty!

I have so much to share from the past 13 or so weeks so let’s get started because this is a long one! Cory and I were trying to get pregnant but we kept it very hush, hush.
