hey kids, still growing a baby over here. The whole "second trimester is the best you'll feel" thinking seems to be right-on. I can't complain. Waittttt a minute, of course I can complain. It's kinda what I do best. I'll complain about maternity clothes. They are so boring. It's as if they stopped manufacturing them somewhere in the early 90's with the empire waists and flower-y patterns. Of course, my saviors Old Navy and Target come through for me with updated duds, but the selection is limited and they're often a little too plain too. And the $10 upcharge a lot of stores seem to put on a shirt labeled maternity. Done with it.
In other Blinky-related events, I'm done and registered. I wanted to get it done while I still had enough energy to wander the aisles of Babies R Us. Tiny hats seem to be my weakness. They're just so tiny! Oh and did you know that they have strips that you dip into your breast milk to test for alcohol??? Genius. I'll take a case.
My awesome Mom also went and bought our crib and mattress for us and they've been delivered. It's starting to sink in that this is really happening. That crib is someone's bed! And that someone will be here in like 5 months. Craziness. Oh and for the curious kitties out there, it sure is a Jenny Lind. Yay!
And since posts without pics are boring, I'm gonna do this. I'll put it out there that I think "belly shots" are weird. Naked belly shots I mean. Maybe someday I'll think that they're "beautiful" or whatevs, but until then, I kinda think it's weird to be showing the whole world your naked tum. And those maternity shots of naked bells? Don't even get me started! I apologize if you just got your naked bell proofs in from your photog and I'm sure they're great. I just won't be doing them. Anybody with me on this or do I just look like the bitter pregnant chick with a pre-existing gut? Ahhh, anyway. I'm sure someday I'll regret not having some proof that my body contorted this way, so here it is...pre-existing gut and all. And non-preggos, we have to put our hand on our bellies so that you can seperate your rack from your belly. Otherwise, you're just round all over. And who wants that?

Aww I love this post! I can't wait to see photos of blinky's bed! BTW totally with you on the naked prego thing... it kinda freaks me out!
Cute! As a photographer, the naked belly thing doesn't really bother me, but to each his own! Covered does just as good a job of getting the point across.
Take that balloon out from under your shirt, and put that baby on the dining room table where it belongs
Oh, you don't like naked belly shots?
No worries.
It's the linea nigra that gets me. Everytime.
No worries.
Looking good! And I'm with you on the naked belly shots...
You registered??
Whoa...there is straight up a baby in there! :) And, the green walls and mirror are fantastic!
Adore all this baby excitement! :)
Well look at that. You're preggo!
LB
PS.. loove the color of the walls. Wouldn't it make a fab kitchen color ;)
well...I just google image searched linea negra.
regretted it.
I wonder how you feel about those plaster casts people make of their bellies...seems kinda crafty.
I bet you could think of a million things to do with it, like serve massive amounts of dip at parties.
