Belly Pic

I don't know how I feel about belly pictures of pregnant woman.  On the one hand, some of them really annoy me and I feel like the posts/pictures are somehow self promoting.  I think my main problem with the belly pics is the ones of the bare belly. Something about them freaks me out.  But on the other hand, I'll admit that I love seeing belly pics of other people.  (It's similar to being facebook friends with people you never talk to - viewing these pictures, or their facebook profile, feels like I'm getting a glimpse into their life that I otherwise wouldn't be privy to, especially if its belly pics of someone who lives far away and I don't actually see in person.  I also just think pregnant women are cute.  And, seeing normally slender ladies with growing bellies is very intriguing).  

So I've been debating on whether or not I should take and share belly pics as my stomach continues to grow.  I've been told to at least take them for myself so that I can see how I change and supposedly I'll appreciate them after Baby S is here.  I've also been getting emails and phone calls from friends and family asking to see more pics of the belly.  So, with that, I've decided to post a "Weekly Pooch Pic" (yes, I hate the word pooch, but I'm embracing it and rolling with it - beside, pooch pic sounds cuter than belly pic...)

So here I am at 18 weeks:



And see, I'm not only giving you one, but I'm giving you two pics!  I'm so nice.

  1. Oh, baby what an adorable bump. The suspense is killing us---boy or girl? I'm leaning toward a girl. I have a 50-50 chance not bad odds. Keep us posted.
