It's belly time

Here are pictures of my growing belly by month, with a bit of commentary on each.

4 Months

Um, still not really showing. Those are regular pants and a regular shirt.

5 Months

This was right after a performance we did with Kantorei, our community choir. Still little, though I could feel a difference in my body while I was singing since Brinton was right up to my belly button.
For all my Singers friends: you know you bought your Singers clothes WAY too big when they still fit at 5 and 6 months pregnant (my belly was narrow for 5 mos, but still). Supposedly this dress was the "right" size when it was our uniform in '03... Oh well! it was a blessing to have for this concert and our Christmas concerts a few weeks later.

6 Months

I was six months on Christmas Eve! This picture was taken in Utah by the Bishop's beautiful tree. Still wearing regular clothes.

7 Months

There it is! My belly finally started showing at seven months. Baby and I had a growth spurt over Christmas (all that yummy food?! hehe). Those are indeed maternity clothes--cute ones thanks to my lovely sister-in-law Miriam who gave me her whole collection.

A week from today is my eight month mark. Time is flying! Tune in for another update around that time.

In a nutshell, my pregnancy has been so great. Lack of severe nausea, lots of room due to a long torso, absolutely no anemia, encouraging friends at my exercise class, and incredible support from my awesome husband have been huge blessings. I feel great! I'm also at the beginning of the end, so I write this with lots of humility and high hopes that the pregnancy will continue to progress well.

I love you all! Thanks for your support.

A special thanks to Nick for posting these pictures from his computer yesterday during his busy school hours. :)
