Give the people what they want

So, I've had a request for more belly pics. I suppose it's like people slowing down to see a car accident, but it's still mildly disturbing that you guys want to see solid evidence my increasing states of obesity.

Nonetheless, I understand, and am happy to oblige. Keep in mind, however, that I can only document this phenomenon as often as Coleman is home to take the picture. The hold-the-camera-out-and-see-what-picture-you-get would probably result in some seriously unflattering angles, and I've suffered through enough of my father's adventures in setting the timer and running around in time to be in the picture to know better... (sorry, Dad, but it's the truth)

I like to call this one "Whoa mama!" After I saw this, I began to forgive all those people I just complained about a couple of posts ago... Hellooooo belly!

For those of you who are interested in this sort of thing, I am officially sporting a linea nigra, but my belly button hasn't popped out yet (I'm hoping to keep my 'innie' an 'innie' for as long as possible!!). I'm also on Stretch Mark Watch '09 - thankfully, no developments to report yet - but I'll keep you updated on that front as well...

Stay tuned for more pounds and inches...
