Belly Shot

Well...it has come to my attention that this poor child I am carrying is less than 9 weeks from its scheduled entry into the world and I have yet to take any profile shots of my growing belly. Bad mommy.

Take my word for it....I have been HUGE for a very long time. I'm sure it's due to the whole "second time around" scenario, but my belly popped MONTHS ago, and I have already exceeded the girth I had when I delivered Danika...and I have 2 months left to go. Yes...I know....it is going to be a long, hot summer. :) My ankles have been swelling for a while now...or should I say "ankle"? My right ankle stays pretty close to normal and only swells mildly....the left ankle on the other hand gets ENORMOUS. I look so attractive in capris and skirts, let me tell you. I was trying to find some cute black sandals that would work with dresses and capris...I finally gave up and bought a really well padded pair of sports flip-flops. They are my new best friends...I wear them everyday.

Anyway...for your viewing pleasure...here's a picture taken this weekend of my growing belly.


I had a doctor's appointment this past Wednesday...everything is measuring perfect, my blood pressure is great, my numbers are great, the baby is growing and kicking like a wild thing....so things are looking good.

August 5th...here we come!
