another (three) weeks flies by

I can hardly believe that the last time I posted a belly shot was three weeks ago. This month has gone by SO quickly so far.

Tomorrow, I am 18 weeks along. This picture, however, was taken a week ago Sunday in preparation for 17 weeks, and I never got around to posting it. However, I'm using it this week anyway. Let's face it, if I've seriously grown so much in just one week that last week's belly shot is not accurate anymore, then I shall be quite sad. Because I already feel slightly huge. :)

(I asked Jeremy to take a picture of me this time, instead of standing awkwardly in front of the mirror and trying to get a good angle... when he got the camera out and I stood ready, the girls automatically joined me. Apparently they don't think any picture should be taken unless they are in it. And I'm ok with that, because they do make this picture about 100 times cuter!!)

For all you impatient and eager people out there (like I'm one to talk...), I have good news!! The ultrasound date is SET: November 3rd. THREE WEEKS FROM TODAY. We can do it! We can wait just that much longer. And then finally, finally! we will know if Baby Bertie is indeed a Bertie or a Bertina. Hooray!!

I have a feeling these next three weeks will fly by as well. The rest of October is SO busy (more on that later). In fact, I would like to apologize in advance if I seem to be slightly absent from your blogs in the days to come. I still faithfully read each and every one of your lovely posts that show up in my Google Reader, but I haven't been very good about taking the time to comment lately. But I promise I'm still there, friends, and loving each post.

Now, say it with me: only three more weeks, only three more weeks, only three more weeks...
