I specifically remember, being about 20 and looking at the missionaries and thinking, WAIT A MINUTE, you guys were always so old and wise. Ha, now they look like little boys and I pray that they'll be able to handle all the challenges ahead of them.
Pregnancy is another one of those moments for me. I walk past a mirror and see my belly and think WHOA, hold the wagon! Since when am I old enough to be pregnant, and how can I maintain a semblance of my fashion and personality?
I must admit...
I am not one who loves my body pregnant.
I enjoy having a flat stomach and fitting into cute clothes.
I have a hard time not comparing myself to other preggo friends.
I generally don't care to post weekly updates on the growth of my belly.
I also am not sad that I don't have many pictures to document this period of my life.
However...
My family is so supportive, and has sent fun maternity clothes, and I think I owe them a fashion show. Also, in an effort to embrace my body exactly how it is and just be grateful for the strength of my body. Here's my update:
6 months ish
15 lbs gained
(if i continue at this rate, about 15 more expected)

This is the point at which I realize, how comical cary's photography skills are so I might as well have fun with it.
This shirt looks huge, but it's actually more flattering with the black shirt underneath because it's a sheer fabric.

you look cute. nothing to worry about
Thank you so much!! I didn't realize the shirt was sheer... oops.... and from the picture on the website the dress looked like it was a high enough V that you wouldn't have to wear a tshirt under... I was trying to avoid multiple layers... oh well :) But they do look cute, so you can continue your fashionista ways for the remainder of your pregnancy :)
Oh... I forgot to mention that I was hoping the black and white dress would be worn with your awesome turquoise heels... a la Heidi Klum :)
AH!! I love that little black and white dress on you! SO CUTE! All of them, actually, but that black and white one I just love. And...hahah...I love that you just embrace life. And Cary's photography skills... ;)
You look so ADORABLE!!!
I think you look fabulous. I know that doesn't change the way YOU feel, but just so you know...not everyone is looking at you thinking you look like a fat lard.
You look AMAZING! and yay for pregnancy and the misery that it brings, lol. I gained 40-50 lbs with Johnny, so you're doing great.
I am a great photographer! and Dee i will happily do your wedding pictures at a discounted price.
You are such a cute pregnant girl! I hope I look that good!
I do the same thing. Sometimes I walk by the mirror in the bathroom and go "WHOAH!" because I half forgot that I was pregnant. I also have a skewed vision of what I think I look like vs. what I actually look like!
