So this isn't exactly an accurate belly shot for several reasons:
1) I'm not really "showing" yet... just a little puffier than normal with no space in my abdominal cavity in which to suck my puffiness. Of course, by the end of most days, and following a decent meal (which is when we took this picture), I have a good sized "food baby" to be proud of, but it's gone by the morning.
2) I'm wearing a maternity shirt, which make a girl look, well, pregnant.
3) I'm at a funny angle and the shirt is billowy and pouffy, so the silhouette is not accurate.
But we took it for one good reason...
14 weeks
We were at a wedding and I was wearing one of the two shirts that I hope will see me through a summer of weddings with an expanding belly. Our last wedding before the baby arrives (hopefully before - no early babies, please) is three weeks before my due date. I want to wear the same outfit to that wedding and take the same picture. I think it will be funny to see a side by side comparison a few months from now.
Well... I think it's funny now. Let's see how I feel come October.
This weekend, we're doing our first maternity photo shoot for my former co-worker who is due in June. Now, she'll have a real belly to show off!

So cute! I can't wait to see the "after" (before) picture!
After hearing of your Chipotle habits, I think you should track the burrito bump too! :)
Are you ready to have people touch the belly yet? I get the creeps just thinking about that. I wonder if there's a way from stopping people from thinking it's okay to touch. Love the photo! You look great. :)
