Ok, don't laugh...


This is my very favorite of the photos I purchased from the photographer. In retrospect, I probably should have just gotten this one. But I don't do well under pressure. Oh well. The other ones have merit, just not to post online :-)

Taken at 35 weeks, before my belly button started to poke out around the edges when the baby moves across it and before that one ugly stretchmark showed up. Evil skin, waiting until 38.5 weeks to get a stretchmark!

Love it! What are you wearing, though? Is it like a drape kind of like they give you when you take senior portraits?? I kind of regret not doing one of these when pregnant with Ethan and my belly looked like that. Sara Katherine brought stretch marks, blah! They'll fade, don't worry!

Yeah, she wrapped me in some fabric.

Weird that you got them with SK...I've heard that happens, though. So far, I still just have the one (that I can tell). We'll see what I end up with after she's here. :-)

So at the end of my pregnancy with Holdyn this one stretch mark showed up and I was all, "Oh, well at least its just one!" Yeah, that's while your belly is all expanded. After he was born I was like, "Holy Mother of Pearl that 'one' stretch mark takes up my whole middle!" Yes, they do fade and then you can wear your "silver stripes" as my girls call them with pride, like a badge of honor. "I ruined my perfect body for you to be born." ;)
PS the picture is great, it will be a treasure

Look how cute you are! You'll be so glad you got pictures. It's only been 5 months and I've already forgotten my pregnant belly.
