Belly shots

I wasn't going to post a "baby bump" picture just yet, mainly because I think my bump still looks more like a bloat at the moment. And perhaps also because for so many years those photos carried a sort of negative connotation for me, something I quickly clicked off of on others' blogs (feel free to do that now).

But then I realized that after today, when our household officially goes internet free, I won't be able to upload pictures from anything but my phone. And those pictures will be pretty low quality, and most likely huge (I haven't figured out how to get them from phone to blog without them being enormous).

So, I quickly pulled myself together and made Ryan take some shots of me on his dinner break (so please don't pay too much attention to my air-dried-just-pulled-down-from-a-ponytail hair).

I didn't take a belly shot until I was ten weeks and already looking pretty bloated, so I don't really have a "before" picture. But I found one taken most likely right around conception that kind of shows my normal stomach (and no matter what I weigh, my stomach is usually pretty flat, which I more than make up for in other "problem" areas).

Okay, the "before" shot...



And here I am tonight, at 15 weeks, 4 days...



And because I can't post pictures without including one of my other babe...



So there you go. I will try to post pictures, no matter how odd they look, from my phone. And I will still be posting, even if that means I have to send Ryan to work with a printed-out Word document for him to type into blogger on his break (thanks, honey).

And hopefully the next time I post a belly shot, it will look like a big pregnant belly. God willing!
