For Esther

My sister asked to see some photos because she knows “some ladies who are pregnant too and they look like they’re going to burst.” So she’s wondering how big I am. Just think, Esther, I still have 2 ½ months to go! Here’s a little progression spread---the first photo I took of myself, obviously, when I was between 4 and 5 months. I feel funny posting it but at the same time not too lame because I doubt any of you have not taken a self-portrait before. But anyway, I took it for my mom and I’m including it with this one which was taken yesterday---I’m just into my seventh month according to the nice little calendar my doctor gave me.

Apparently Natalie is trying to tell him with her kazoo the party is out with her. Note the new paint job in the background.

This will probably be the last of the photos chronicling my growing tummy because at the rate I’m going this is how big I’ll be tomorrow:
