Baby Humble #2: Comparisions & Photo shoots & Ultrasounds, oh my!

Trimester Comparison - I found out I was pregnant at about 5 weeks and began taking photos every couple of weeks to compare my progress with Baby #2 to Baby #1. I started doing my regular photos/updates (or as I call them "bumpdates") when I was 16 weeks. Here are my comparison photos from the beginning of each trimester (1st trimester at 5 weeks, 2nd trimester at 12 weeks, 3rd trimester at 28 weeks). And a 38-week comparison between my pregnancy with Lacey Belle and this one.

Maternity Photos - I wanted to keep my tradition of doing maternity photos at 30 weeks. We took them in July, so I thought a beach photoshoot was the perfect one for these. I got a new dress, a flower crown, and had a blast taking photos with Lacey Belle. The photos came out great and I absolutely LOVE them! Here are a couple of my faves :) Photo credit: Kuffel Photography.

Ultrasounds - This pregnancy was smooth and without any concerns, so I only had the standard 10-week early dating ultrasound and the 18-week anatomy scan. I did do a second free elective ultrasound at a pregnancy center that was training employees on the ultrasound machine at 11 weeks. I had also planned to do a 3D ultrasound, but we were out of town during the time frame that my office offered it, and we unfortunately never got them done. After having so many ultrasounds during my first pregnancy, this was a change, and I wish I had done more. Here are some cool shots from my early ultrasounds. It amazes me the details you can see even so early on!
