Belly Shots

Okay, so some of you have been clamoring for belly pics, and I'm happy to oblige. I haven't been good about documenting this process, but I do manage to remember to get Coleman to take a picture every once in awhile.

Looking back on it, I wish I had taken a picture from the beginning; first, to establish a true baseline, and second, to preserve it for posterity. Shall I ever have a waistline again? I know it's a little early to despair, but that's more easily said by people who aren't currently watching their body morph and bulge beyond recognition.

Okay, so here's what we have so far:

This is a picture from Week 7

I probably should have done my hair for this shot, or at the very least dried it, but what are you gonna do??

This is from Week 12

A little bulge starting to show...and notice I'm no longer fitting into my normal pants. Yes, the terror started to set in about this time.

And here we have Week 18

Definitely, definitely prego. I might also mention that this picture took awhile to take, mainly because Coleman couldn't stop laughing long enough to hold the camera still. He had just looked at the shot from week 12 and thought the change from that shot to this one was highly amusing. I'm sure it will not surprise you to know that I did not find it so amusing. And secondly, I had to put on a different top. I started out with the same tank from last time but Coleman (rightly) advised that it might not be as modest as it used to be.

So there you have it, folks. Check back in occasionally for updates. There are many weeks (and pounds...and inches...) to go!
