35 Week Bump

In the hubbub of finishing up my oral defense, coupled with a week of rain and gloom, we completely missed last week's bumpage post. So to make it up to you, we thought it would be fun to do a little compare and contrast of 12 weeks of growth. Especially for those of you on the East Coast who last saw me in early July.

On the LEFT: me at 23 weeks, during our 4th of July trip to Shenandoah.
On the RIGHT: me today, at 35+ weeks.

The good news about this comparison: the weather here in St. Louis is now very much like that pleasant afternoon in the mountains.
The funny news: I can still (sort of) fit into that T-shirt.
And the not-at-all-surprising bad news: there's no way I could hike those 5 miles anymore!
