The Ben & Jerry's Belly Bulge

This has got to be one of my best pictures yet. I'm one hot mama-to-be, no??? After a day of gardening (or rather, watching Eric garden) and many unsuccessful attempts at taking another belly shot, I grabbed some ice cream and settled in on the couch to watch a movie. (The truth is out: it's not a cheese steak and beer bulge; it's a Ben & Jerry's bulge.) Well, Eric thought that was the perfect belly shot, and after seeing it myself, I had to agree. I suppose if I were vain (or had any pride at all), I'd disagree, but fortunately, I love laughing at myself and love to share the laughs whenever possible.

For those of you looking for a more traditional belly shot, I've also added something more "normal"...(a.k.a.: boring).

5 months on Wednesday! Craaaaaaaazines. I seriously can't believe I'm halfway to having a baby...the shock of it hasn't set in yet (and may not until I'm actually holding the little bugger and he/she starts crying and is poopy and I go to give him/her back and realize there is no one to give the stinky little crier back to...that'll be my moment of realization, that or when someone else gives her/him back to me to do the dirty work). So weird. I still think I'm too young for someone to be calling me mom or to associate myself as a mom. I guess it'll grow on me. No pun intended.
