I realized (and many others have pointed out) that I haven't really posted pictures of my pregnancy so I finally was in the mood to do so today. I figured I needed to do it fast because the end is near...it could be tomorrow or still a few weeks but I better do it because after that most posts will probably be dedicated to Alexander for awhile.
The Pregnancy in Retrospect
The DAY!!!
We found out unofficially on July 17, 2008. I found out that morning, but Mick had already left for school but I knew I had to tell him. I called him up and it was about 5 minutes before a test. I think he did okay on that test but I am sure I distracted him a little.
At the beginning
On August 12 (which also happened to be our 4th wedding anniversary), we confirmed that he was indeed there and the best way to describe him was he looked like a little peanut.
I couldn't believe that he would grow in just 9 months into a 6-8 pound baby. Heavenly Father is amazing!
September 12: Head, arms, and body showing
November 4: Got to see him breathe. He looked so content.
November 4: Also found out he wasn't shy in telling us he was boy. I don't think I have seen Mick glow or float on air like he did after this revelation since our wedding day.
December 12: Our last glimpse of him... Ten toes accounted for!
Over the next few months he was certainly growing and changing but I didn't really start to show till about Christmas time
Christmas
January
Beginning of February (He already started to drop. No wasting time with this one)
End of February at my Baby Shower (which was wonderful..will post about it next. Don't worry Tiffany!;))
and even with a week and half left, I feel like my basketball keeps growing and not sure how my skin can stretch anymore!
March 22: The here and now!
This pregnancy has just been wonderful and the neatest experience ever. I feel privileged to be a woman and be able to have this responsibility and look forward to meeting my little bundle of joy soon.
P.S. My other "little one", Booger, has been feeling left out of all the excitement and has decided that the cradle will be hers and Alexander will just have to find some other place to sleep. Good try!
