Belly shots
This weekend, Alex and I took a few belly shots at a picnic with friends. At 8.5 months, I'm feeling ready to POP! We're so excited, and Alex has been my hero during this whole pregnancy--cooking pastas and burgers for dinner, massaging my lower back every night, telling me I look beautiful on those days when I'm swollen and bloated and highly doubting it, practicing guitar so he can teach the baby, and being incredibly understanding every step (and bump) of the way. Most baby books bizarrely treat dads like they're babies themselves (giving them only the most basic tips and comparing everything to baseball, groan), but Alex has been such an insightful, gentle, funny, loving partner. A huge, huge thank you, Alexei, and a hat tip to all you dads and dads-to-be out there! xoxo
(Thanks for taking the photos, Abbey:)

I'm so disappointed I didn't get to meet you and that wonderfully huge bump while I was in New York!
aw, cara, i KNOW! me too!!!!
awwww super sweet! you're looking fabulous even at 8.5 months... kudos!!!
You look so beautiful! I love how in every picture you can see the excitement in both of your faces!
Gorgeous - you look wonderful. Gx
man oh man. cuuuute as a button!
these pictures are so adorable! and what you say about alex is so sweet! you both will be amazing parents. :)
You look adorable (as usual) and what a lovely and loving post. It seems that you will both make great parents.
I love the first one!
I completely agree with you about the way dads-to-be are pigeonholed in the process of pregnancy (and birth, and beyond!) Let's all get over the 1950s, deal?
wow. the belly is huge now. great pics. you must be excited and scared both at a time - I wish you the best!
8.5 months ALREADY?? You look gorgeous and you're going to be a marvelous maman.
Plein de bisous de Paris!
sweet belly shots!
AAAAW, how cute:) I wish I could be in a park like that now!
aww i love that first picture. so excited for you both. thanks so much for sharing this special time with us. much love! <3
How sweet is that? You look adorable!
You two are just the cutest! S excited for you! xo
You look adorable together, you guys are going to make such great parents! Also, I just remembered this wonderful belly shot and a delightful wedding, take a look here-

What wonderful pics! Must be a great feeling to know that the baby is just around the corner:) And your hubby sounds like a great guy.
Oh gosh so beautiful. Belly shots are the best - and baby is going to love looking at them one day too!

I just love baby bump photos with Daddy's in them too. I always see such awe in their eyes. That joy is so precious!
Enjoy your last couple of weeks.
Best,
Tina
Awww love your belly shots!!!
xo,
LuLu
So sweet! And I love that you are barefoot.
You look fantastic! Great photos (and yay for dads-to-be!).
He'll be a great dad, I'm sure! Exciting!!!
these are so fun. i love the happiness on both of your faces! baby boy is going to be able to look back and tell how excited his parents were. :) have you guys decided on a name?
:)
You two are so cute! I can't wait to see pictures of the baby as well.
There should be a more helpful baby book for dads. No reason for them to be in the dark! Especially with so many helpful and thoughtful dads around.
You both look wonderful and so happy! If Alex is good at the pregnancy part, you know he'll be good at the Daddy part!
haha, dancing branflake, officially barefoot and pregnant! :)
what cute photos!! that first one is too funny :) and at 8.5 months, you still look adorably fabulous!
thanks for these incredibly sweet comments!!! beka, we have finally decided on a name but are keeping it secret until the little man arrives. my dad swears that you have to meet the baby and see what he looks like before assigning the name for sure, so we will see!
these are adorable! No doubt that the new baby is going to have a loving, adoring family!
awww..sweet photos,,
u both r cute.

S.S.DOBBS
melanie, hang in there! when your bump is small, you almost feel fatter because it just feels like a beer belly :) but when your belly grows more, you'll love it! :) i'm sure you look beautiful!
Your belly is beautiful!
You look so pretty Joanna!
Can't wait to see the baby's little face :)
I love belly shots!! you guys look so cute!!
Awww baby nugget LOVE, can't wait to meet him!
You look really beautiful. It;s true what they say about women who are pregnant... they certainly have a glow about them :)
http://mysocalledfeudallife.blogspot.com/
Such a nice tribute to the dads and glad you feel so supported through the process. Can't wait to hear more from you...you're so close! Wow.
WOW these photos make your belly look significantly larger than the bike ones just a couple weeks ago! i think my hubby will make a wonderful doting father, but he might get tired of my massage pleas :)
You two are so adorable!! And you look so fantastic!!! Like you just put a ball under your shirt, I seriously hope I look half as good when I am pregnant!!
Can't wait to meet your little munchkin!!
this is so sweet. you'll be so happy to look back and have all these photos! you look great for being 8.5 months along. woohoo!
Joanna! What wonderful photos!! I love them..can you give us just a little hint on the name? :)
You look amazing! Good luck...and remember my offer to be your online nanny!

Take care of you three!
you ARE beautiful!!! Big floppy hat tip to Alex for being such an excellent partner. You two will be fantastic parents to that lucky bump!
Aw, I love these sweet shots of you, Alex, and baby bump! Thanks for sharing them Joanna :)

The top photo is my favorite. What a sweet papa/hubbby!
This post makes me smile from ear to ear! Beautiful! How blessed is this baby already?! :)
What sweet photos! I'm very excited for you two and I'm envious over how lovely you look so close to your due date! I looked like Rosie O'Donnell by that point!
Congratulations! You look so well-loved :) Thanks for sharing your journey.
You look really good for being so far along! For what it's worth, you don't look swollen or bloated at all!
I love that you've got a good man standing beside you :) Makes life so much easier, doesn't it?
You look great Joanna! Enjoy what's left of your pregnancy, and then your little boy.
such a sweet post. you look FABULOUS.
You are the cutest pregnat couple ever! I hope you be great on these last pregnancy weeks =)
I loved all the pictures :)
xoxox
Gorgeous! Alex sounds like a sweetheart!
Ahhhhhhhh stop it stop it you're making me want a baby! I AM NOT READY TO REPRODUCE! Seriously, though, you two look so happy--I can tell you'll be wonderful parents! And you're lucky to have such a wonderful husband, I can only hope that I do, too, eventually. :)
you look fantastic! i am very excited for you both. this is such a happy time. enjoy it.
You are both adorable!
You both look fantastic.
hooray for baby bumps! I completely understand how you feel since I'm 34 weeks this week and feel like I'm about to explode! you look amazing though and of course so happy. :)
btw, I agree with you about the books for dads. My husband deserves a medal and it sounds like Alex does too!
btw, I'm in love with your new header! look fantastic. x
You look amazing! I can't believe that you are almost ready to pop! I feel like it was just yesterday you shared the exciting news!
chessa, yay! congratulations!!! hope you're feeling good.
What a wonderful post. I love your blog.. you have a great energy about you :)
Ps. You do look beautiful!
preeeeetty!!
You are the freaking cutest couple ever! Your son is going to be a very lucky little boy to have you two as parents. I'm so excited for all three of you!
Isn't that so interesting how these books basically put dads in their own carseats? Let me tell you, Eric is so hands on when it comes to the kids, it's beyond great. Being parents is TRULY a partnership. I get the vibe that you and Alex are going to be equally excited and nurturing of your new baby.
You, my dear, are a vision. Alex looks very sweet with you, too. So happy for you both! Not long now!
you are awesome! it is beautifull to see so much love and funny family life!

Wow... you look great! All baby that's for sure! thanks for sharing your journey and bundle of joy with all of us. Can't wait to see pictures of him and hear his name. So excited for you Joanna and Alex. Best of luck as the delivery date is approaching! XX
Such great photos! Perfect for the baby book. And hooray Alex for being such a sweetie!
you look beautiful! and i love what you said about your husband. I will have to remember to thank mine so well. I've appreciated so much the way you've celebrated your pregnancy - it's refreshing and encouraging. And whereohwhere did you get good maternity jeans? All the ones I've found are either horrible or $200.
you both look great, soon you will be three everywhere!! nice belly pics and i see that nothing better than the barefooted feet in the park!!!
How cute are you? So exciting!
Wow, only a few weeks left. I highly recommend going to the grocery store, library, any store really, walking/driving/taking the subway, without the kiddo. You will never appreciate how easy those things are again. Of course, you get to go to all those places with an adorable baby boy! Good luck and have fun!
So sweet!
you are so so sos beautiful !!! ciao Luca (Legnano Milano Italy)
you look lovely as always!! happy to know you've got a good man! sweet post.
Ah! That little cup of joy is lucky to have two great parents. You're so close!!!
emily, i actually have just been wearing one pair of regular low-rise jeans (very low-rise) that are a size larger than my normal jeans. they've well worked for me, and i agree, i couldn't find any affordable maternity jeans that i liked!
gorgeous!! just gorgeous!!
you look absolutely lovely and glowing. poor dads get a bad rap. my hubby is a wonderful dad, and was endlessly supportive during my pregnancy. so glad you're having such a great experience with alex!
countdown is on. you'll meet your baby boy soon!
xoxo,
allegra
OMG you guys are just too cute! Love that! ;)
XO Piper
Oh my God, you're giving me heart squeezes! so lovely x
What a beautiful bump and a beautiful momma to be! Congratulations!! I'm so excited for you and Alex for all that you'll experience in the coming months.
This is so sweet, and you look so stunning Joanna! I've never seen a pregnant woman look so happy and glowy. Can't wait for your big day -- soon!
This is so sweet! Your pictures are beautiful! You look amazing! You are so lucky to have such an understanding and beloved fella! You will both be amazing parents!
Beautiful mommy and daddy to-be! :)
Even though you might feel bloated you look GREAT! I'm so glad that Alex is being a great guy for you...you picked a good one!
you look amazing!
You're HUGE! your belly, that is. My whole body ballooons!
I'm totally anxiety ridden as to what I'll do when you have the baby and may not be posting so often.
sigh, wish i was joking.
but I can't WAIT for you~!
you guys are so silly and cute! you look beautiful, by the way
these photos are incredible, you two are so cute! You're so beautiful and glowing.
These are wonderful. You can really see and feel the love. Congrats to you both. xo.
aw you looks so beautiful! sounds like you have a wonderful, supportive husband!
aw, kiera, you're so cute :) thanks for all these sweet comments!!
such fun photos! it's so nice to hear about a father to-be who is so sweet and supportive. it's much tougher when you feel like you're trying to keep everything together while 8.5 months pregnant.
can't wait to see how your little family grows in love with your addition!
I love these belly shots! you and alex just look so happy and you are going to make fantastic parents!!
I had exactly the same belly like you when I was expecting my baby boy! Enjoy it, this will be the most wonderful time of your life!
All three of you look WONDERFUL!
I can't believe we all get to "meet" your baby soon! Best of luck to you both on the final stretch. You look absolutely lovely, and your baby is the luckiest little guy in the world.
You two look so happy. How great it is to have parents like you.
What a wonderful post! You're reminding me to keep a journal of all the wonderful things my husband has done for me during this pregnancy, #1 being the times he brings home Macaroni and Cheese (pre made) from Whole Foods with burnt cheese. It's such an eye opening experience to have such a supportive husband...he makes the journey all the more enjoyable!
Beautiful photos! Were they taken in Brooklyn Bridge Park?
We walked along Hudson RIver and Battery Park both times we got to know we were pregnant. Good memories from the location of the pic:)
Such a sweet belly Joanna :)!
these were taken in battery park -- at the big field right off chambers and west street xo
So Heart warming! You too are lovely!
Thanks for sharing :)
this makes me beam with smiles for you both. what a wonderful couple you guys are to look up to!
thank you for that.
xoxo Anna
Seriously, Jo? You've NEVER looked more beautiful.

Jo,
you look beautiful.
Have you ever seen that scene from Dumbo called Baby of Mine with all the sleeping baby animals & their moms? I think you will appreciate that in your current state <3
I hope that when it comes time for me to have one, I will look as good as you do! You look AMAZING!
Best wishes,
Amanda
Awww! Simply glowing! Best of luck during your pregnancy! Bring a special pillow to the hospital (since it will be in all the pics)!
so cute - you guys look adorable :) xoxo
so exciting for you and the hubs! isnt it amazing how much they just POP out that last month?! you look great!
these comments are so, so sweet. thank you so much!!!
you look beautiful jo!
i'm so happy and excited for you and alex!
Gorgous pics! You guys are super cute. I've been so enjoying your belly shots, I'm 23 weeks and it's great to glimpse into the future. You look amazing, can't wait to hear about the rest of the journey.
Oh, and yes, fathers are equal partners and capable of so much more than they are given credit for. I couldn't function right now without mine! We're in this thing together, right?
You look wonderful Joanna, and I'm so glad (and slightly jealous) that you've found a loving and helpful partner to raise your family with. :)
Amanda
Wow you're like the tiniest baby bump holder! :)
Looking awesome Jo!

Yay! Cutie, cutes!

I'm six months this friday - aah its sooo exciting! My hubby Ben has been uber supportive and helpful - like you said the pregnancy books make men sound totally out of touch! Thank the heavens we found two good 'uns! :)
I'm sure Alex is wonderful, but anyways you DO look beautiful. Really.
thats so awesome! great pics!
Jo, you look lovely, I'm just catching up on your blogs as I've been busy having a baby!! we just had our miracle last Tuesday and brought baby home on Saturday and I'm in parental bliss!
