A lot of people have asked me how I feel about family and friends,
and complete strangers, touching my belly. In all honesty...I am so
thankful for it.
Ok, it is a tad weird when you have
strangers giving you advice, telling you what you should be doing or not
doing; one lady told me I wasn't eating enough. She could tell this
because my belly was too little hahah...I then 'causally' mentioned that
my 'Dr. Daddy-of-a-husband' thought things were perfectly normal. I
didn't mention that he isn't quite a Dr. yet lol, but it certainly changed her
opinion and she proceeded to tell me 'I looked great'!!!
We feel so blessed to be able to say that 'we have a bump' and that
people are genuinely interested in that. No, I may not want you rubbing
my belly for hours, but every time someone wants to touch my belly, or
wants to know all the details of how I am feeling, if we know the
gender, when I am due etc. I am reminded that we have been given a
wonderful gift...and it is something we certainly do not take for
granted.
With all of that being said, our BUMP has finally
made a grand appearance. And we are so thankful that we have a Nana
Photographer that loves to capture all these exciting moments!!! So with
a few props, Cocoa Bean's 'Nana Photographer' and the bump, we venutred
out to capture some shots of our growing Cocoa Bean!
But first....

I am so glad we decided to take these week-by-week photos. I love looking back and seeing the progress of our little Cocoa Bean growing!
Nana's Photoshoot:
 |
| Can't believe that that little bean is in there!! |
 |
| For my birthday Daddy ordered "A 'Cocoa Bean' Chocolate hat and booties" |
 |
| Cocoa Bean decided that he/she didn't like the blocks anymore..Nana caught the letter 'A" being kicked off! |
 |
| Every night Daddy reads to Cocoa!! One of my favorite times of the day! |
 |
| Mitchy isn't sure if it's a boy or girl either!!! |
 |
| Only a few more weeks until everyone knows if Cocoa is team 'Blue' or team 'Pink' |
 |
| I love this photo!! Only about 7 weeks until we know 'Blue' or 'Pink' |
Just a warning...once Cocoa arrives, there will be TONS more photos to share!!! And we cannot wait!!!
