Pre-baby photos galore

I MUST send in my (dying) computer today. No More Procrastinating! So here are a recap of the months before baby

The day AFTER Amanda was due to be born, waiting...

8 days after Amanda was due, still waiting....

11 days after she was due, 28 hours before Amanda was born. I had a pre-contraction feeling! Last minute photo sesh

between 30 and 32 weeks, mama brain cannot recall

32 weeks, taking photos in the ER bathroom

Panchita at 26ish weeks

24 weeks pregnant, finally a decent bump

15 weeks and annoyed to be bump-less

Yes this is in fact a different photo. I just want to see how different I look throughout pregnancy while in the same outfit. Noel made me laugh "There's nothing there!"

12 weeks & still bump-less

Seriously, where's my bump? I'm a skinny girl so why no belly still? Of course the day after Noel took this I started having severe stomach and low back pains FOR 3 DAYS straight. Turns out the round ligament muscles in my stomach decided to start stretching all at the same time. I guess that teaches me to complain about no bump. Yesterday at work I put Icey-Hot strips on my back and stomach, helped for a bit.

Now I am officially pregnant to the outside world, I started telling coworkers and let me tell you I totally get 3 breaks a shift now (previously unheard of except on super slow days). "You gotta go feed that cute little parasite." I do think calling Panchita a parasite is both cute and freaky, as we inherently think of parasites as negative. But Panchita lives off what I eat, takes me energy and makes me feel sick, so really it fits! My well-loved peach sized parasite :)

Here is my belly during the 3 days of s-t-r-e-t-c-h. Does it look any bigger yet? I guess it wasn't the Mayo that was making my tummy hurt after all....
