pregnancy by the numbers

It's arrived... the day marked on my calendar as "40!", aka my due date. We're so pleased that we already have an almost one-week old baby at this point instead!

At the time I went social media public with the pregnancy in May, I started taking weekly shots from above of my growing bump and posting them on Instagram. It was fun to record what I was up to on some of the weeks this way (e.g., traveling to Turkey at 23, drinking that yucky orange glucose stuff at 25, getting the nursery rug at 28, and getting lots of ice cream throughout). In anticipation of reaching my due date, I had already put together up to week 39 of a whole collage of the bump's-eye-view, and some little pregnancy facts by the numbers - so here it is now...
