I know there are lots of Mom’s out there who are religious about taking belly shots each week to watch the progress of their tummies grow. Well, I’m not one of them. I was very aware of my growth, but I didn’t particularly want to capture it until halfway through pregnancy. I felt like I just got thick during the first half… not exactly the ‘pretty pregnancy tummy’ that everyone thinks about. However, now I feel like I’ve suddenly grown to be huge all of a sudden so I figured I’d post a few pics of the pregnancy to check out the progression.
21 weeks – I finally am ‘showing’ at least a little bit. Everyone was telling me they could hardly tell I was pregnant – which bothered me because I could sure tell! (Not sure why I look so annoyed in the picture… I really was happy.)
24 Weeks – Picture taken by Sara.
26 Weeks – Picture from the Collins Machine Shop Party in Boulder.
28 Weeks – Finally starting to really, without a doubt, “show.” It seems like somewhere between weeks 25 and 28 I grew a bunch. J kept looking at me and saying “you’ve grown more since yesterday!”
Week 30 – This is a picture from my baby shower.
Week 34 – This is one of the pictures from our maternity photo shoot.
Week 37 – These were taken last weekend. No wonder I’ve been so tired lately! The kid has been on a growth spurt.
I have 3 weeks to go before my due date, so we’ll see how big I get by the time the kid joins the outside world. What I can’t believe is how high the baby still is. (On a side note, once again I had someone tell me today that I’m “not that big.” When I see this picture I have a hard time believing that!).
