Big Bad Belly Shots - 16 Weeks Monday, July 24, 2006 For the love of cheese and a ceaseless supply of cantaloupe and pineapples, I have ballooned to a total of nine pounds of pure elephantine stomach stretching proportions. If this pregnancy progresses anything like my first (which it seems to be), then packing on the pounds up front seems to be the way my body likes to gestate and carry the ankle-biters of the future. Speaking of the future, on December 22nd of this year, I will be welcoming little bubs into this world via an elective c-section. I couldn’t ask for a more memorable or cherished Christmas gift. Really, I’m weepy at the thought of being discharged and bringing baby home on Christmas day. Because I am actually feeling rather good today, I braved the camera and in keeping with tradition from Ava’s Pregnancy Blog, the Big Belly Belly shots are back. Yes, that's how my cami actually fits now, and yes, I actually walk around the house like that.

Posted by  Wash Lady :  July 24, 2006   You look fantastic and elephantine wouldn't be the first would I would think of, but OK, I'll go along with you. ;) That is a fantastic time of year to have a baby. Andrew was born December 20th. They put all the babies in Christmas stockings and took pictures. There is this song, 'Mary Did You Know' that I heard Christmas day. I remember hearing the words, holding my precious baby boy and sobbing. Some of the words: Did you know that your baby boy has walked where angels trod? When you kiss your little baby, you kiss the face of God! Oh Mary did you know? God bless your growing family!
