Pregnant Me

Some of you have probably not seen me in awhile, either for my entire pregnancy or since my baby belly really started growing. For your entertainment, here are a couple of photos that my friend Natalee (who recently started her own photography business) took during a recent maternity “photo shoot.” These were taken when I was 35 weeks pregnant. I’m not the type who is comfortable posing for pictures, but Natalee did a great job creating a relaxed, fun atmosphere for me and Brad. (He participated, too. Look closely and you’ll notice his hands with mine in the first picture.) Thanks to her, we will now have these maternity photos to share with Benjamin one day. I may post additional pictures eventually, so stay tuned…

Sonogram Pictures

It won’t be long until we meet Benjamin, but for now here are a couple of sonogram pictures that we’ve enjoyed seeing during my pregnancy.

Here he is when I was 18 weeks pregnant – he was about 6 in. long and weighed only 10 oz.!


And here is Benjamin when I was 26 weeks pregnant. He weighed about 2 1/2 lbs. It looks like he is saluting with his left hand in this picture.


We are curious to see what he will look like when he is born. Will he be more fair-skinned like me, or have an olive complexion like Brad? Will his hair be curly, or will it be dark brown like Brad’s? We should have our answers in a week or so…
