Baby belly

Since those Jenga photos a couple days ago mysteriously hid my giant belly, here's a shot that I took that same night to send to my mom. (I wasn't going to post it because I have a weird expression and the lighting is all yellow, but oh well, here you are!) I snapped it in our living-room mirror while Alex was cooking dinner.

Recently the baby has been kicking SO much, and it is ridiculously cute. He's so kicky that if I lean back while watching TV, my tummy will actually ripple, like waves in the ocean. It's really sci-fi and awesome to watch him bumping around, and, needless to say Alex and I find it endlessly endearing.

Thank you so much for being so sweet, as always; it's such a treat to share everything with you. xo

  6. You look wonderful! I know it's hard to imagine that you'll get any bigger, but wait until next month... The size you're at now was my favourite stage - big enough to look properly pregnant, but still small and nimble!

  45. Absolutely beautiful Joanna! That was my favorite thing about being pregnant, it was like my own personal one man show going on in my belly. The best was when he squished himself over to one side and I had a mishapen belly, then a moment later he squished over to the other side. Enjoy every second of the journey.

    And on a side note... have you ever considered cutting your hair? In this picture you can put your finger right where your first layer ends, hide the rest of your hair and basically see what you'd look like with a sleek, mid-neck bob. I think it would be so, so stylish and fun!

    ReplyDelete

  95. You are beautiful, regardless of expression. It is fun to watch this unfold. My oldest is now 13. I have 3 kids. It is the most special of transitions, from a maiden to a mother. No doubt you will make it with grace. Blessings to you. Enjoy the pregnancy. The baby is very aware in there. Our kids heard a lot of music in utero, and they are all serious musicians now. The bonding starts now, remember that. :)

  171. I really miss that! We could make an evening of watching my belly do amazing tricks! It was so awe inspiring to know that the tiny human we made was alive and kicking inside me, I still will never get over that.
    I'm so happy for you, that you get to experience the joy
    of being pregnant! It's wonderful and enjoy it. I'm sure you've received tons of unsolicited advice, as I did, but really enjoy this time, before you know it you'll be spooning mashed sweet potatoes into his little wide-open mouth and wonder, "Gee, how did that happen?" Every stage is pretty great though!
