Evolution of a belly!

I've been debating whether or not to share any belly pictures and my mom is probably going to shoot me, but oh well!! I have just about three weeks left to go until Anna's official due date and while there is no way to know exactly when she will arrive, Keith and I are ready and excited to meet her. Yes, we're both nervous to be parents in just a few weeks but I can't wait to meet the little one who has been growing inside me for almost 10 months. It is an amazing feeling being pregnant and while each passing day gets a little more uncomfortable, I know this will be all worthwhile in the end. Keith constantly keeps me laughing about how long it takes me to get off the sofa or how much of a struggle it is to tie my shoes or even eat at the table. I have to now sit on the floor (Japanese food style) to eat any meals because I can't lean over very far. I also have to lean the car seat way back like I'm riding in the ghetto since I can't really sit up straight. There are quite a few nuances that come with being pregnant and I feel like I should write a book about the "stuff they don't tell you". :)

Ok, without further adieu...let's get to some belly shots. But first, I wanted to share the very first sonogram we had way back on November 18, 2010 confirming that YES we were pregnant!!



15 weeks

16 weeks

17 weeks

18 weeks

20 weeks
23 weeks
25 weeks - in Singapore!

32 weeks (I went through a belly picture taking drought...oopps!)

35 weeks
37 weeks - WOW!!!

38 weeks (I need some sun on that white belly!)

Keith and I have a little bet going as to what date we think Anna will arrive. He thinks June 25 and I think June 19, which in on Father's Day. I wanted the loser to have to organize and plan our first date night post delivery but Keith isn't 100% on board with that so we'll have to come up with something soon! Until then, as my doctor keeps telling me - TAKE ONE DAY AT A TIME and enjoy these last few weeks.
