8 months

While I was taking pictures of my big belly, some little Cookie Monster ran up and put sand on me!

I can't believe that I am 8 months already! I have almost 6 weeks left and although I am ready to meet my new baby, I am also a little afraid. Afraid, because I am such a wimp when it comes to pain. Every pregnancy is different and as a consequence I have learned that each delivery differs as well. My first baby was a C-section delivery and my second baby came naturally. And when I say natural, I mean the natural way but I really mean no EPIDURAL. Yeah, I arrived at the hospital in active labor, my water had broke in the car, and my baby came rolling out 10 minutes after we had arrived. I had no I.V. and the delivery room they rushed me into didn't even have a baby warmer. Although the painful contractions lasted about an hour, I was thoroughly terrorized by that experience.

So, now I'm wishing for a fast delivery, but I am praying that I make it to the hospital early enough to get an epidural.

A self portraits of us. You like the way I put Jerry all in the frame and cut off my fat face.....ha!

6 months

Yep, I'm 6 months pregnant and excited as can be! Nope, we don't know what we are having. It will be our December surprise. I don't have any maternity photos of me from my previous pregnancies. I mean, I do have pictures of me while pregnant, but they aren't maternity pictures. Instead they are pictures that happen to be taken while pregnant. So, I decided I would be taking a belly portrait every month to document this pregnancy.

I'm having fun with this, if you can't tell. I think this one is my absolute favorite so far.

Although, I can't decide if I like it best in color or black and white.

Thanks for stopping by,
