For Alicia

Alicia requested a belly picture so here I am in all my 30 weeks of glory. What scares me is that this baby will double in size before she is born. Where will she go??? I am carrying really high and actually its causing some wardrobe trouble. My bridesmaid's dress for Will's wedding (in 3.5 weeks) is a beautiful black two piece maternity dress. It has a ribbon that is supposed to lay on top of my belly. Well.....I don't have room on top of my belly. My belly starts before my boobs stop. So it looks really awkward and bunched up. The seamstress didn't want to alter it yet because she said if my baby drops any, it will fit perfectly. If she doesn't drop....well the seamstress will be doing some magic the week of the wedding. So pray my baby will drop. I didn't mention to her that Kiran didn't drop until I was in active labor at 38 weeks because hey every pregnancy is different right?!?!

I updated my book lists on the side. I loved the Mark of the Lion series by Francine Rivers. I really like historical fiction and those were very well written and interesting. They made me think- about my faith in today's world and the faith of believers in the first century. Has anyone read The Alchemist? That was a very easy but intriguing read for me. I feel like I need to go back and read it again to fully grasp all the symbolism and hidden meanings. I have a biography and a young adult novel waiting for me at the library. I really like to mis up my genres- keeps it interesting.

Yay for a preggy picture! I was wondering the other day when you were going to put one up!

I think I'll read the Mark of the Lion series this summer; everyone keeps mentioning it.

Awww...you look good!!

OK. I just have to say that I couldn't get this to comment because there was no word when it said "word verification". Now there is one. So weird.

Love you!

It's about time you post a preggo pic! Fun pic :) How's your belly button? From the pic it looks like it's not an outie... That's good... I still have an outie from my pregnancy... Looks like I"m stuck with it unless it re-corrects itself with the next pregnancy.

Everyone keeps talking about the "mark of the Lion" series... maybe I'll check it out sometime on our stateside...

I was hoping you would post a picture soon too! Now it's Michelle's turn and we can see how all 3 of us due around the same time measure up! HAHA! Did you carry that high with Kiran? I know I'm carrying different than I did with Keely...so hopefully the dress will fit great!

I'm so happy you finally put up a pregnant picture! I think the belly changes so much from now til the baby's born, so I vote for weekly pics. :)

I'm sure you'll look great - you are so cute!

alicia- should i get out a roll of toliet paper and see how round I am???

Kelley C said...

My belly button is pretty flat but not out. It never went out with Kiran- but we still have a ways to go. I thought belly buttons returned to normal after birthing the baby.... maybe yours is permanent andrea???

I carried high with Kiran- I need to pull out my pictures to see if it was this high.

3 babies and 3 that didn't drop until labor and 3 innie belly buttons for me. So it could be the same again! I just feel like my belly button looks stretched out. Oh, and you better be lathering on that cocoa butter, girl! I didn't have but the lightest stretch marks with my first two but they are BAD with this one. They didn't show up until the end though so beware! My belly looks like its got war paint.
Don't worry--that dress will end up okay! You look great!

ok SB you are scaring me about the stretch marks- I can't believe you didn't really have them with the first two then really bad with the third!!!! I'm going to put my cocoa butter lotion on right now.
