So the Picture Journey Begins - 5 wks

I've never documented a pregnancy in pictures from the very beginning. I always start once I think I'm bigger than I should be for that stage and suddenly start taking pics due to size in the event it could be twins...which it hasn't been yet. I'm just always that big with one baby for that stage. Lovely. I think once you've had twins the stomach just falls forward since it knows so very well what to do and has been stretched accordingly. But since this pregnancy is so wanted and so waited for I figure I will start from day 1....though by the time I got around to it, it was already day 7 after finding out. So this would be baby #9 at 5 wks. And admittedly, this is what the body that has already carried 8 children before looks like all the time unpregnant. Children say it's already started to round out a little but I find that hard to believe given the fact I am a mere 5 wks. Supposedly, according to my little crew, it's usually flatter than this. You've gotta love having kids to boost your confidence and self esteem!!! I'm thinking, now looking at it, that I probably could've sucked in and done myself a favor but what you see is the real live woman au naturale. What good is it to suck in if it's just going to get bigger and bigger anyway? So, no change as of yet.

Disclaimer: As for the top..it's running gear and is actually real clothing....so no, I'm not posing in my bra. But you can't really wear a t-shirt and track any kind of growth at all. I've tried. So if it offends...skip the pregnancy picture part each month.

One of these days I'll get back to some deeply meaningful post. So much to say but so very little time. Time management has become my new goal for 2010.
