Prego Pics!!

It's time to start thinking about maternity pictures,because who wouldn't want to capture this experience in a still photo to remember for a lifetime?!? I really want pictures that capture our personalities and the beauty of pregnancy. I've had different ideas that would be appropriate some of which include; myself laying in a pool of TUMS, the many awkward positions I've found myself in trying to get off the couch, or setting in a field of pizza, pickles and pineapples (YUM!!) However with all the ideas I've come up with on my own, none can compare to the "uniqueness" (to say the least) that these people portray in their maternity photos.
So cast your vote for your favorite pregnancy photo from the following pictures!

Since it is almost Easter this photo seems appropriate to bring in the season! Some "bunny" loves you!

 

Because nothing says "fertile" like a mermaid in a swamp

 He wanted the baby to know Dad will always be in the picture!

 All she wanted was a tire change but ended up with so much more

 Safety First!

Spreading some Holiday Cheer! 

Baby's 1st Turkey!!

 

 I've always got your back babe

 This just gives a whole new meaning to riding bareback...

Honestly, the following pics are just too strange for words...enjoy the awkwardness

As if clowns weren't scary enough...lets put a pregnant lady in a clown suit to really confuse the kids!

WOW! These pictures really did happen...

I can't wait to show the hubs some of the pics that have inspired me for our maternity photo shoot! He'll be so excited!  Hope these photos made you feel as awkward as they did me! 

 

Just a couple of days away from 30 weeks! Whoot Whoot!

Lock up the guns & hand me the tissues

Its 4:00am and I'm awake...people say this is God's way of preparing you for being up with a baby all hours of the night. However, at this point I could careless whether I'm prepared or not. I've always been a "last minute" kinda girl and so far its worked out nicely for me...so Lord if you're listening a little extra sleep for the next three months would be greatly appreciated :) 
I would love to tell you about my latest pregnancy-induced body change, however I wouldn't want to completely scare those women who have yet to experience this glorious time in their life! Can't spoil all the surprises! HA It's funny how the conversations with the women around me a year ago were so positive and how being pregnant is not "that bad" have now turned to "O yeah, I remember that ...shew it was awful! You just wait girl!"
I've been on an emotional roller coaster the last couple of days...one minute excited, the next scared, occasionally sad and weeping for no apparent reason. It's almost as if you are having an out of body experience watching yourself thinking who is this crazy woman that has inhabited my body! Better yet...who's body is this?? My body has completely morphed into something so unfamiliar I can't even walk by a mirror without looking twice, thinking maybe the second time I look I will see someone who somewhat resembles what I remember looking like. I've given up on the idea that I will actually enjoy shopping during these next few months. I was in the maternity store trying on clothes, what I would like to refer to as the "Mini-Olympics" of pregnancy... I mean really what are they thinking sticking you in a little 4x4 room with a mirror that consumes one entire wall, ensuring that you will see some part of your over-sized naked body no matter which way you turn! And hello people..a FAN or some kind of air source would be nice!  In the tune of James Blunt's "goodbye my lover"...Goodbye my body, goodbye my friend, you were once normal but you will never be again!!
My husband came home the other day to find me setting in darkness of our living room listening to some country song about your kids growing up. I'm unusually quiet and of course that has totally confused him at this point. When he asks me what is wrong I burst into tears and say "what have we done?? He's just gonna grow up and leave us!" He hugs me and tells me it will all be okay, thinking to himself, how far away is June??
On the same note, the show Coming Home should be discontinued or at least have some kind of warning to its viewers: MAY CAUSE HYPERVENTILATION/DEHYDRATION FROM EXCESSIVE CRYING! These emotions are common for most menstruating women however they are amplified x10 when pregnant...I can be in a crowded room of people and someone be tapping their foot and I can hear that above all other conversation or background noise! It then becomes my mission to discover who is behind this ever so annoying tapping and give them the quick "acknowledgment smile" after they see me staring at their foot. Dear Lord I have emotional diarrhea! So if you're on this roller coaster for your own safety; keep your arms, legs and head inside the vehicle at all times, cause at any point it could be knocked off! Happy week 27 to me :)
