Whoa! It’s been a while since I last posted so I’m coming back with the good stuff – belly pictures. I haven’t posted for so long because Luke and I went on our babymoon to Hawaii and there is no way I was getting anywhere near a computer while I was there. I hope all will be forgiven with the bump pictures and a Hawaii post to follow soon!

21 Weeks: There is nothing more glorious to this pregnant woman than finding a non-maternity dress in her closet that still fits. This moment had to be documented.

22 Weeks: Happy St. Fatty’s day! I decided to get into the holiday spirit and since I couldn’t get wasted in normal St Patty’s fashion I wore a green cardigan and made corned beef and cabbage. Luke came home at lunch time “to check on the corned beef” and ended up eating 1/2 of it but that’s ok because I was mostly concerned about the potatoes! I for sure got potato wasted.

23 Weeks: Luke and I decided to go on a fancy date night to Mastro’s Steak House so I forced myself to put on a dress and makeup and was actually pleasantly surprised with the results! Mastro’s is a pregnant girl’s dream, sure they have great steaks but what really spoke to my heart were the lobster mashed potatoes and butter cake. When the waiter found out I was having twin boys he comped the butter cake, looked me and the eyes and sincerely wished me good luck.

24 Weeks: Hello Maui! I am not a trendy person but I definitely got on board with the babymoon trend especially since it warranted a trip to Maui. A babymoon is a last vacation a couple takes before the baby arrives. The idea is to spend time together to rest and remember why you liked each other enough to create babies before said babies turn your world upside down. Luke told me the guys at work were perplexed by the term “babymoon.” I like to picture a bunch of construction workers standing around in hard hats, fluorescent safety vests and steel toe boots discussing the concept of babymoons! Anyways, ours was amazing and exactly what the doctor ordered but it would not have been possible without the generosity of My Uncle Billy and Aunt Cris. I promise a jealousy inducing post on Hawaii is coming shortly!

25 Weeks: You can’t call a trip to Maui complete without having a meal at Mamma’s Fish House in Paia. It is hands down my favorite restaurant and inspires me to figure out how to get rich quick so on my next trip to Maui every single one of my meals can be here. We ate at Momma’s on our last night so as to not set the bar too high for the rest of the meals we had. It did not disappoint!

In summary, after careful review of all pictures in this post, I am happy to report that my gut finally sticks out further than my butt! Once we get the boobs on board with the growth plan my proportions will be entirely new!
