a 20 week baby bump!

Monday, January 16, 2012

time is flying by, i tell you. eleanor turns 1 years old in 2 short weeks and i am half way through this second pregnancy. before you know it, we'll be putting back up those christmas decorations! ;)

i swear my belly button popped back out by day 5 of this new pregnancy (perhaps that has something to do with my abs never fully coming back together from the first time around.... and you really wanted to know that, right?) but i fortunately haven't really experienced morning sickness or food aversions yet (still able to eat meat over here!) so all is good. it makes me wonder if i'm carrying a boy this time (we're not finding out the sex again until the birth) as it's all been pretty different this time around. but who knows, right? we'll see....

i think we're confusing eleanor since we're always pointing to my growing belly and saying "baby!" and then again using the word whenever we are out and about and see an actual baby. but i've been re-reading most of my pregnancy books and whenever there is a little photo of a baby on the page she loves to lean in and give it a kiss. it's kind of the cutest thing ever. i'm really looking forward to seeing her as a big sister.

I had 3 babes in 3 years...with #2 and especially #3 my belly popped out FAST!!!! How far apart will yours be?

Cheryl said...

So exciting! Beautiful pic. Thanks for sharing:)

Shades of Gray said...

How exciting!!!

Yellow Finch Designs said...

you look beautiful! and Eleanor ... she is just the cutest! doesn't it go so much faster the second time around?

and for the abs, i don't think it's too uncommon. i believe there are exercises you can do after the pregnancy for the abs to come together again so there isn't that gap in the muscle. if that's what you are referring to ;)

Bella Luna said...

You look gorgeous...your little family is such perfection!!!

You look so good! Eleanor is going to be such a good big sister!

Unpublished Life said...

Eleanor is going to love being a big sister (to a boy or a girl) and it is so great to have two kids so near in age. There is an 18 month difference between my brother and I and we are so close. Wouldn't change it for the world!

Amanda Blair said...

I love how joyous you look in this photo but how could you not? And you are just looking gorgeous as ever...pregnancy really agrees with you.

Sky said...

Beautiful!

hoops118 said...

Same thing happened to me, abs never came back together and pop!... out came that belly right away. My son is 14 months and i'm 14 weeks, so we're quite similar to one another. My belly feels different too... a little squishier. haha... I figure it has a larger room to grow into, but I'm waitng for that nice hard pregnant belly feel. In any event, as I've said before, pregnancy looks great on you. You look absolutely stunning.

I bet your having a boy. I had NOTHING other than tiredness and dizziness with my son. This time around I had some nausea and food aversion so I'm thinking it's a girl... but we're waiting as well.

Congrats!

Aaaawwww.... You look lovely!!!!

Emma Jade said...

can you adopt me? I want to be part of your super cute family!

Jennifer said...

their closer in age so she has a chance to be happy about this.

i wasn't. i had five years to myself and it kinda shows in how i treated my younger brother. it's still rocky, to say the least.

but if your youngin' ends up like that sweet and adorable eleanor, i think you'll have nothing to worry about.

Samantha said...

Anyone who looks as good as you do now pregnant and as good as you did after pregnancy should have a ton of babies. I feel guilty admitting that I don't want one right away because I still feel fat from the first one.

brittany said...

oh my gosh, she is going to looove having "her own" baby! so many sweet little kisses in your future :)

Sheryl said...

So cute! Love both of your outfits!

Mygoodness, there is so much happiness and joy and beauty in this photo. YOu are the most gorgeous pregnant lady and your daughter is the cutest baby! TOTES ADORABLE!
Kudos for NOT finding out the sex. I'm 23 weeks and we are not finding out either. And every time I say it, people respond, "Oh, you are one of thoooooose people".

Amelia said...

can't believe E is almost one!! you're both adorable. so excited for baby #2. i think it's a boy too :) just a hunch

oh my gosh words cannot describe how adorable you are and how adorable it is that Eleanor kisses pictures of babies! in her own little mind, she's probably excited but maybe not sure what she is excited for?! just a thought! SUPER cute.

You're little family is so adorable! I hope you have a little boy but as long as baby is healthy that's all that matters.
You're glowing & beautiful.
Congrats :)

L.A. in the bay said...

oh my gosh, this is seriously the cutest thing ever. What a beautiful pregnant woman you are!

Travelin' Tracy said...

I am one week away from the due date for my second baby...mine will be sixteen months apart. It must be similar to your two! I must say, it has been fun to try to teach my son that there is a baby in my belly. He gives my belly kisses...and whenever we get together with friends with babies I try to show him their babies too! Well, good luck with the second half of the pregnancy!

Lindsey said...

What a great picture of you two! Such happy faces!

Britney said...

HELLO beautiful baby bump! You are doing quite well baking that baby, not to mention taking care of yourself and little E!--speaking of which, I can't believe she's turning 1! My little boy was born in March so his first birthday is coming up as well and I'm totally becoming a basket case about taking in every moment that he's "still" a baby. He kind of just looks at me like, "Mom, calm down."
That's very exciting that you're waiting to find out the gender! Maybe you're right and it's a boy!--he would be a very studdly little man, no doubt <3

Souriceau said...

Oh, it's really fantastic and you're so beautiful!

mallosaurus said...

I want mine close together too, and was always worried that the older one might hate not being the only one anymore! but since she's already kissing little baby pictures, i am not worried anymore! haha, so precious. and so is your dress! where did you get it? i've been looking for one like that for lightyears.

stephanie said...

you couldn't be any cuter! love it!

Tracy said...

you look great! and I always love seeing how you and your little girl dress!

Lauren Knight said...

First of all, you look beautiful and glowing and fantastic! Good for you for stylin' it through your pregnancy!
The same thing happened to my belly button with my third boy... it popped out super early. Turned out I had a hernia (which happens a lot with subsequent pregnancies). Just be careful lifting up baby E so you don't end up with a bad hernia! Mine was pretty painful, but I'm almost 5 months postpartum and it is finally closing back up.
Love your blog, by the way!

Adorable! Love the way eleanor is peeking over. I hope it's a boy!

Tina said...

You look so great for being 20 weeks along, and honestly, how adorable is your daughter? With children like this, I say have 20. But then you may become that awkward TV special, so maybe 10 is a better number. Hope you'll continue to feel great!

Rachael said...

Gosh, I can't believe Eleanor is going to be one soon!! I wish children can stop growing and stay young and cute forever!!
That is exciting though, that you're going to wait until the baby comes to find out if it's a boy or a girl! I don't know if I could last that long!! If I were pregnant, I mean.

Necole said...

Omg you and Eleanor are adorable!! You make me want to go for #3!! Love it!

you look lovely! my babes are 17 months apart. it was a little rough at the beginning, but they are so fun together now :) best of luck to you!

Kate said...

Love how Eleanor is peeking around in the pic. I can't believe she's almost a year old! I started following your blog just a couple weeks before she was born, being pregnant myself and appreciating a look at what was ahead for me. Hard to believe it's been a year. But I'll bet it's even harder for you. ;)

ELECTRIC FRINGE said...

I didn't see it, if you already answered, but where is that amazing jacket from?! vintage? It's great.

I bet you are having a boy! I can't wait to see how you'll dress a baby boy... mini bow ties like josh's?!

Congratulations to you and your adorable family! :) We have 3 of our own, and you are right.. watching your first become a big sis is one of the funnest things to look forward too.
I absolutely adore you and your sense of style and design. If you are sharing, would you share where you purchased your fabulous shoes in this pic. They are just what I have been searching for.

The second pregnancy is so precious. Enjoy it while you can. My older 2 had the same age gap. I look back on it fondly. My 3 boys are now 7, 10 and 12. x

Kia said...

Where do you buy Eleanor's coats? I love the red one and they greyish one. I have a 1 year old and just cannot find a cute (and warm) coat for her.

Shay said...

You are so cute! Love the dress!

Jealous and very happy for you!! :-)

My twins were 17 months when my third was born. I love having them close in age, it gets better (and easier!) with each passing month. Congratulations!

Maria O. said...

I realize everyone is commenting about your babies, but where did you get your tights? I'm on the hunt for opaque red tights and you are wearing what I want!

mallosaurus said...

this question is out of curiosity, not spite: Do you only answer a "where did you get that" question if more than one reader asks it?

cecileetthais.com said...

That picture is so lovely you look amazing and are so stylish ! You make life beautiful and really, thank you for showing that :)
Good luck with the pregnancy, I really hope it's a boy :)

Taylor said...

Where do you shop for your little girl?! Her clothes are absolutely adorable! I cringe at putting my (future) babies in matchy-matchy Gymboree outfits and must take notes:)

Also, the chicness that you continue to be inspires me on my crummiest feeling of days. Thanks!

xo Taylor

naomi megan. said...

@taylor, thanks! i shop for her everywhere. zara baby tends to be my favorite right now.

@mallosaurus, this is my first time getting to check these comments and respond. i try to respond to everyones comments but i'm sorry if i am not fast enough for you. there is only so much time in the day! to answer your other question, my dress is the airplane dress from Hatch Collection!

@maria o, tights where from anthropologie!

@electric fringe, the jacket is vintage. thanks!

@kia, her coat in this photo is from zara. her blue one is from a consignment shop in richmond.

and i think someone asked where my shoes were from but i can't find that comment? they are from ruche.

thanks for the nice comments all! we are so excited about this second bebe!

englexas photography said...

Awe! I love the pic! I'm at 22 weeks with my third but my youngest is only 15 months and my belly button popped out super early too! I think it is cause I'm pregnant again so soon! I was much less sick with this pregnancy, my oldest is a boy (4y), middle a girl (15mo) and we just found out that this one is a boy! Excited to keep up with your pregnancy :)

Jennifer said...

i'm catching up on your blog posts and it's so funny (at least to me) that things you're posting are the same things I think about my little girl and my current pregnancy. Like confusing our 18 month old by telling her about the baby in mommy's belly but also pointing to babies when we're out in public. She seems to think now that her belly has a baby. She pulls up her shirt and says "baby." She also puts her feet on the table like your sweet eleanor does. I'm sure these things are all common things but it's always nice to be able to relate to someone else.

Made in Sonoma said...

So glad you're waiting to find out the sex. I wish more people would do that! It's probably the best surprise in the world.

PIXI PR said...

You look great. My son is 1,5 year and i have a 10 week bump. Thought I´d be fast and agree on looking pregnant by 8th week
