Taken @ 18 weeks and 5 days...that's alotta belly! :) Aaron has affectionately started calling me "Big-girl" again...thank God I have a good sense of humor! :)
As I was uploading these pictures, I took a trip down memory lane and looked at a few photographs of my pregnancy with Johnathan...and oh, my, goodness, I had forgotten just how robust (okay, yes, HUGE!!!) my belly and the rest of me had gotten! I guess this is what I have to look forward to...
...24 weeks preggo with our Baby J...though I was on bedrest, so the lbs. had really started to pack on at this point!...
...27 weeks, and looking, well, quite pregnant!...
...30 weeks, you can tell I wasn't afraid to eat, no sir! Bring on the food!!!...
...32 weeks of beautiful baby bumpness!...
...34 weeks and *growing*/counting!...
...okay, the weight has really started to pack on, and I still wasn't through yet, 36 weeks along with our sweet Monkey...
...taken just days before his birth, my big ol' baby bump, which looks more like a mountain than just a bump! I guess I can handle looking like this again!!!
Oh, but I almost forgot the most "dreaded" part...

...the post-delivery swelling!!! ;) Goodness, am I really going to look like this again???!!!
But, seeing the precious little face of your new baby makes it all worth it...
...and remembering what used to be just pales in comparison!
(Although, if you asked me if I wanted to look like this again, I'd still say yes...just no to the bikini part.....those days are over! Moms in bikinis with toddlers hanging off of them just don't go!)

There is obviously a lot to know about this. I think you made some good points in Features also.
