(Pardon me while I go hit "repeat play" on the Musical Baby DVD. Thanks.)
I can tell you one thing: Here are a couple of pictures that won't be going into the calendar.
My belly shot at 16 weeks.
I should note that was taken in the morning, when I look appropriately 16 weeks pregnant. By evening, I look approximately 25 weeks pregnant. And no, I'm not kidding. See?
That was taken around 8:30 PM. Notice that I used the camera to hide my face, like one of those black bars they put on the "fashion don'ts" in the back of the magazines. And if you can't see the difference, it's only because I have to twist into an mannequin-like position that is oh-so-comfortable to take my own picture. Either that, or you are squinting. And you really shouldn't do that. Your face could stick that way.
In other pregnancy news, I FELT THE BABY MOVE THIS WEEK. I have the whole story posted at 5 Minutes for Parenting today, in the continuing saga of "And Baby Makes 6: Kelly's (Last) Pregnancy Journal." Frankly, I feel pretty cool that I'm able to discern the baby flutters this early in the pregnancy. You can read the details here.
GASP!!! Feeling the baby kick is THE BEST PART about being pregnant.
ReplyDeleteOkay, maybe the only good part.
Either way I am happy for you!!
Yeah. Feeling the baby kick makes everything good.
ReplyDeleteEven nausea.
that is hilarious - i swore i gained 10 pounds a day, which magically disappeared by nighttime!
ReplyDeleteyay on the baby moving!!! that is the COOLEST!!
We ordered our Christmas cards from Snapfish and an order of 100 cards took less than a week to ship from the day I ordered them. There's a coupon right now for 20% off your order (coupon code WINTER09).
ReplyDeleteYou look beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBaby movement is heavenly. Enjoy every nudge.
I did the same thing when I was pregnant. I swore I gained weight throughout they day, hubby thought I was crazy. lol
ReplyDeleteat the very beginning, when he started moving, or anyway I think I felt him move but I am still not sure if it was him... ready your post on 5 mins for parenting :)
ReplyDeleteYou really aren't kidding about the morning and evening comparisons. Is that baby or Cafe Latte scones in that evening tummy of yours? :)
ReplyDeleteYou look fantastic! You are being very hard on yourself. Also, baby movement, SO FUN!!! Woo hoo!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bump! Amazing the difference a day makes...
ReplyDeleteTsk. I look as pregnant as you do in the second photo and AM I PREGNANT? Nope.
ReplyDelete(I think you look lovely.)
I AM 25 weeks and by 8pm I look about 7-8 months pregnant! But I truly think it's the fudge. Please take it AWAY!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteKelly, you look fabulous! And I think it's absolutely amazing that you are feeling the baby kick this early in the pregnancy.
