Look, bare belly!

I really thought I'd be way too shy to even attempt anything with my actual belly showing but you can't really see all the imperfections on my skin anyway so I figured what the hell? I really love this pose with the open shirt so I'm really glad I tried it. I think it turned out fantastic!



You can see a few of the stretch marks on this one but it still doesn't look horrible or anything. Actually I think it looks pretty good! Yay for me! I bet these will look even cuter with a bigger belly, as long as I can keep my skin looking like this. I don't have any new stretch marks yet, all the ones I have are from my pregnancy with Andy. So stay tuned I guess, I'll try this again in a few months.

Could it really be?

I am pretty sure this was our first time bowling this year! Wow, it took over 2 months! Just one reason I hate my schedule, I never have free time for fun stuff like bowling! This month I do though so Andy and I can enjoy our formerly weekly ritual of Sunday afternoon bowling!

My Cuties

It's such a shame that we're both allergic to the dogs or else we'd be able to keep them in the house more. It'd also help if Skynard didn't feel the need to mark every dang thing in the house too. What a little turd. I love him anyway though. And I love to watch them together, they really love each other!

And after, at 22 weeks

Smart Cookie

They have this dry erase board area at the front of Andy's classroom where the kids can practice writing their name. So at least once or twice per week at drop off we'll stop and write his name on the board before I head off to work or school. He's getting better. His n looks more like an apple and he keeps writing big Ds instead of little ones, but you can still tell what it says. And he's always so proud of himself. I'm proud of him too.

Proud Daddy

It's hard to get him to agree to pictures. I think he looks sweet. I need a bigger area to take pictures in so my head can be in the shot too! :)

Reflecting

Andy is really excited that he's going to be getting a baby brother. He told his teacher at school 3 times. I thought these would look cute.
